Isaiah Mustafa (The Old Spice Guy) is Luke Cage In Mysterious Trailer Dan Koelsch, May 29, 2011 The Daily Blam has found a promotional trailer for a superhero project, but the source is unknown. The video features Isaiah Mustafa, the actor best known as ‘The Old Spice Guy’ for his recent role in popular commercials and the well-received viral campaign for the Old Spice brand, as Marvel Comics’ Luke Cage.

He obviously knows viral marketing and has a fan base. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
