MARVEL’S LUKE CAGE Season 2 Adds Annabella Sciorra

Annabella Sciorra has joined the second season of MARVEL’s LUKE CAGE, Marvel and Netflix announced. 

Sciorra—who was Emmy-nominated for her guest work on HBO’s THE SOPRANOS—will play Rosalie Carbone, “a dangerous downtown criminal underworld power player with an eye, and an agenda, toward Harlem.” (In the comics, Rosalie had ties to Frank Castle/the Punisher.) The previously announced cast of LUKE CAGE season 2 includes Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Simone Missick (Misty Knight), Alfre Woodard (Mariah Dillard), and Theo Rossi (Shades).

“I’ve been a huge fan of hers since Spike Lee’s JUNGLE FEVER, and Anabella Sciorra is no joke as Rosalie Carbone,” said showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker in a statement. “You haven’t seen her this gangster since her thrilling turn as Tony’s formidable flame Gloria Trillo on season 3 of THE SOPRANOS. I’m thrilled her introduction to the Marvel Universe will be on MARVEL’S LUKE CAGE.”

“We couldn’t be happier to be working with such an incredible talent,” added Marvel’s Head of Television Jeph Loeb. “This character is complex and layered and Annabella is the perfect actress to portray her.”

Sciorra, who last appeared on television as an ADA on CBS’ BULL, will next recur on Netflix’s GLOW season 2.
