Cloak And Dagger's Lives Come Together In New Series Promo
The more different they seem, the more similar they become.
Marvel Entertainment has unveiled a short new promo for its upcoming superhero series Cloak & Dagger, which follows the lives of Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Aubrey Joseph).
The video gives us a peek into how the teenagers operate and interact with the world around them: Tandy steals wallets to scrape together enough cash to get by, lives in a lower-class area, and ends her days sleeping on a mattress on a dirty floor; Tyrone steps out of a wide and well-appointed white house and rocks clean and crisply ironed clothes, but winds up naked in a hole in the ground in the middle of the night. Though the two lead very different lives, their unique powers bring them together — and we see the pair come face to face in the final moments of the clip.
Take a look above.
This new release comes after Marvel revealed another teaser for Cloak & Dagger, that time featuring Tandy and Tyrone meeting at a party, Tandy purposely spilling her beer on him so she can swipe his wallet, and the two colliding when they realize their superhuman abilities — Tandy's light-emitting hands and Tyrone's power to shroud people in darkness — perfectly link up.
It's clear that the duo are better together than on their own, but soon after they meet, they develop feelings for one another, making their already chaotic lives even more complicated.
