‘Cloak and Dagger’ Trailer Teases a Change in the Origin Story
Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger dropped its first trailer, and we’re here to fill you in and break it down!
Cloak and Dagger are a superhero duo appearing in the comic of the same name published by Marvel Comics.
Cloak a.k.a. Tyrone Johnson (played by Aubrey Joseph) has the ability to open a door to the dark dimension and send people into it, including him, which let’s Cloak teleport himself and others. The character has a hunger for light, which can be alleviated by either consuming the light of victims sent into the dark dimension or light produced by Dagger.
Dagger a.k.a. Tandy Bowen (played by Olivia Holt) has the ability to create “light daggers” that travel wherever she wishes. Her daggers can also cure certain people of drug addiction and drain living beings of vitality.
The TV show will follow Tyrone and Tandy, two teenagers from very different backgrounds who acquire superpowers while getting involved in a romantic relationship. Tyrone and Tandy’s powers work better when they’re together.
Here’s the trailer:

From what we have so far, the biggest change we’ve noticed is the origin story,
Cloak and Dagger originally got their powers after they were experimented on (Deadpool style) by a criminal chemist who was developing a new synthetic heroin. The duo were the only ones to survived and managed to escape the facility.
In the trailer, however, it seems like they get the powers from some sort of car/water accident where Tyrone helps Tandy escape, to then have them not see each other again until they’re teenagers.
In the description showed above, and based off the trailer, it seems like the powers of Cloak and Dagger will be stronger when they’re together. This would be another change from the comics.
We could also find an interesting easter egg in this trailer: Roxxon Corp (a Hydra-like oil corporation that is very prominent in the comics).
Bonus points for having an awesome shot and a clever easter egg in one frame.
The upcoming Freeform series is set to air in 2018.
