Cloak and Dagger - TV series (Freeform)

Quote:


The younger-skewing ABC-owned network has greenlit “Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger” with a straight-to-series order, Variety has exclusively learned.

Described as a superhero love story, “Cloak and Dagger” is based on the titular comic book duo (also known as Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson) who have appeared in Marvel Comics classics, including “Spiderman” and “X-Men” stories.

The live-action interracial romance follows the duo, two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while falling in love — Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn they are better together than apart, but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging.

No writer has been attached to the series, but the search is currently underway. Marvel Studios and ABC Signature Studios will co-produce.

Eh. I'd be more excited if this wasn't a teen thing.

So is it MCU?

Well, ABC is where Agents of SHIELD is, right? So I'm assuming that's as far as any crossovers will go...

These guys are primarily known as Spider-Man characters so it's good to know the Spidey franchise will have some fresh lineage in the MCU beyond Civil War and the Spidey movies that will follow.

TurtleTitan97 04-07-2016 11:55 AM

Looking forward to it.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 04-07-2016 12:13 PM

The "teen" focus has me exceptionally leery, but I'm still interested.

TheSkeletonMan939 04-07-2016 02:39 PM

I love Cloak and Dagger!
They were essentially teens in the comics from what I recall, or at most in their early twenties.

The cross-shape is interesting... doubt that'll get copied over to the show.

Christian cleavage? :trazz:

TheSkeletonMan939 04-07-2016 02:46 PM

I'm sure they'll try to get some cleavage on Dagger in some way. :P

Actually, Cloak locked himself in a church in constant prayer for a good chunk of 'Maximum Carnage' storyline. So that's something.

What if they end up joining the Defenders?! :O

Netflix/ABC crossover? Pass.

Curious, HAVE the Netflix shows made any references to Agents of SHIELD at all?

TheSkeletonMan939 04-07-2016 03:17 PM

Interestingly, the Netflix and ABC shows are in their own little worlds. :lol:

NinjaPug 04-07-2016 03:27 PM

AoS made a reference to a gang war in Hell's Kitchen in a recent episode but I don't recall any mentions of AoS from the Netflix shows.

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 04-07-2016 03:30 PM

The only one I know of the the fighter Matt's dad went up against in the ring once... the name is the same as some villain on AoS. But it's freaking obscure. I only read about it in one of those "easter eggs from Daredevil Season 1" articles back when.

Haven't heard any.

TheSkeletonMan939 04-07-2016 03:37 PM

But of course that can and should change at some point. There don't have to be constant winks and references, but at some point some event should bring threads from all the shows together - AoS, the Netflix series, the films, etc. Maybe Infinity War can be where that all happens.

A good handful of times:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/e...eggs/82241208/

And off the top of my head, season 1 had Jack Murdock fight Creel. It was offscreen, but still intended to be Creel from AOS.

Okay, the Dogs of Hell and Creel. 2 times.

All the others were references to other Netflix Marvel shows or references to the MCU, which are to be expected. They namedrop the incident or the invasion and have the Harlem monster newspapers in Urich's office. But not a good handful of times, at least not specifically for the ABC shows.

Hmmm... any connections to the Agent Carter stuff? That's ABC, right?

MsMarvelDuckie 04-07-2016 05:54 PM

Cloak and Dagger?! Woot! Color me interested! These may be second-tier characters, but I've always liked them. And they are two of the best Spidey side-character heroes, with an interesting background.

Cool logo. Looking forward to a trailer.

TurtleTitan97 01-30-2017 03:40 PM

Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph have been casted as Cloak and Dagger: http://deadline.com/2017/01/marvels-...es-1201897410/

Trailer!

Looks like a CW show done by Marvel, but I'll admit that I'm intrigued...

TheSkeletonMan939 04-19-2017 03:32 PM

Bad camerawork, bad acting, bad writing... looks like it'll be right at home on Freeform.

plastroncafe 04-19-2017 03:37 PM

I'm intrigued.

ToTheNines 04-19-2017 04:34 PM

I thought it looked really cool, for a Freeform show. Bummer that Spidey will never show up, but I'll be giving it a chance for sure.

oh boy another show those damn shippers will ruin :lol:

MsMarvelDuckie 04-19-2017 06:36 PM

Not sure about this. Had high hopes but it is not quite what I was expecting. Hmmm.. I suppose it could have potential?

THGhost 04-19-2017 09:07 PM

All I know about Cloak and Dagger is from the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. I like them in that show, so I may give this a look.
