I am forever grateful to Marvel and Netflix for letting me portray such a prolific character, and thank the amazing fans. As one door closes, another has opened, with the birth of my 2nd daughter. Born this week. A lot of great memories. Time to make more. Always forward, forward always,” Mike posted, along with his daughter’s first public photo.

Mike and his wife, Netflix executive Iva Colter, are also parents to three-year-old daughter Naiella.
