Luckily for Marvel fans, she seems to be pushing through it, as plenty of fans have long wanted some sort of live-action adaptation of Cloak and Dagger. The two fan favorites debuted in Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, which hit comic shops in 1982. Ever since the two have been featured in a variety of ways, including sizable roles in Marvel’s big events like Civil War and the more recent Secret Empire, where they helped keep New York lit with light after being stranded in a demonic universe. It seems it is finally their time to get some live-action shine, and we couldn’t be more excited about it.
You can find the official description of the series below.
“Cloak & Dagger is a coming-of-age series based on the beloved Marvel characters. Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) come from starkly different backgrounds, each growing up with a secret they never dared share with another soul.”
“Once a privileged little girl, Tandy Bowen watched as her family was destroyed by a disastrous storm that uprooted her life. Now in her late teens, an unexpected encounter with a boy named Tyrone sparks a life changing event. Young Tyrone Johnson wanted nothing more than to prove he was fearless. But when everything he held close was taken away, life taught Tyrone to be afraid. Now older and more sheltered, Tyrone closes himself off. But when he meets a girl named Tandy his life changes forever.”
Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger is set to debut on June 7 at 8 pm ET on Freeform.
