Freeform orders Marvel's Cloak and Dagger series
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
I noticed sadly that switched at birth got cancelled recently.
If ABC keeps it in the family, we could be seeing that production team tapped with this gig, maybe?
I know there were some people wondering if this project was still a go. According to this Hollywood Reporter article, it is still in development with the showrunner Joe Pokaski rewriting the initial script. The current plan seems to be winter of... 2018? Wow, that's a lot of lead time for a television series.

If this report is to be believed (and I'm not 100% sure that I do), then shooting on Cloak and Dagger is set to begin on February 15 in New Orleans.
On one hand it seems odd that there hasn't been any casting information released. On the other hand, Marvel's secrecy is legendary, so who knows?
If true, I think that it's a good idea to move C&D away from New York. NYC is getting a little crowded with the super-types, and this way, the audience won't always be wondering why Spider-Man and Daredevil aren't there to help.
ETA: Circumstantial evidence piles up in the form of an alleged budget report!

I saw the report about Runaways and Cloak & Dagger filming in February a few days ago, but it was so sketchy/rumor-y/unofficial-looking that I didn't deem it worthy of discussion here. But now that we've got a second little piece of confirmation apparently, thanks to that budget, well, looks like it's happening.
Also, that budget makes it sound like the show will be the real deal. Equaling the production values on the netflix series would be more than I could ask for from this show. And even if this show had more episodes, lowering the per-episode expenditure, you still have to think that that would be balanced out by it being significantly cheaper to film in New Orleans vs New York in the first place.

Rumor mill has Gina Prince-Bythewood, who has written and directed for The Secret Life of Bees, Beyond the Lights, Everybody Hates Chris and The Bernie Mack Show directing the pilot.
MCU Exchange also says that they have a tip on the lead actors, but don't want to announce it until verified. Looks like it's really happening.

The problem with runaways, is that they have to be young, although they don't have to be young to be homeless.
Miniseries.
MCU Exchange has been following up rumors that Noah Gray-Cabey (Heroes, Code Black) and Debby Ryan (Jessie, Radio Rebel) have been cast in the lead roles. While they have turned up some compelling circumstantial evidence, there has yet to be a confirmation.
Too big, and too old, to play teen runaways.
I'm still reeling from Noah getting all those muscles since he was the cute gobby dipshit 9 year old on Heroes, so incredibly long ago.
Cloak is a moron.
Hiding in a church run by a sex offender, who thinks that he (Cloak) is a demon from hell (80s story line). An adult beardo priest falls in love with 15-16 year old Tandy because she's an angel, who must be protected from the scary black dude who is the personification of hell.
He could have got a corporate gig as a courier, and made millions.

That's the age of the actors.
The characters can still be 15.

I always pictured them more in the 16-17 range.
Sliding Marvel Time.
How many years were they runaways without becoming adults?
After their serieses had been running for 15 to 20 years in real time, and they are still not 18, you gotta wonder how many Marvel years they'd been on the street?

The previous casting rumors were just that-- rumors. Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph have been cast as the leads.
