Trailer for Marvel's Cloak and Dagger to debut on Freeform in 2018.

It looks well-produced and well-done. The catch, though, is that it's probably not going to be for "adults" the way the Marvel
Netflix shows (Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Defenders etc) are. It does look like it has a dark tone but possibly in the
same way that, say, Hunger Games has a dark tone. Romance and soap opera type stuff in the CW-esque manner, maybe. Have to wait and see I guess. The blonde actress Olivia Holt who plays Tandy Bowen looks alright, but she is no Olesya Rulin, who played the t**nage Retro Girl on Powers. And of course, she is no Ashley Lane, either
Holt could be a good actress and performer though, as she has plenty of experience: three Disney TV series, an album out last year on a major label, and some movie roles. The real test will be if we ever get to see Dagger's actual sexy costume from the comics..as it's already evident the Tyrone character does have a black cloak, but there's not even a white circle around Tandy's right eye. I'm guessing we probably won't, because....
Freeform (I actually didn't know this) used to be ABC Family and before that Fox Family. So it's a network targeted towards t**ns
and k*ds, and secondarily towards families. I rather doubt that it will have adult themes or that we'll see Tandy and Tyrone doing anything other than holding hands or a quick kiss. Time will tell.
These guys discuss and break down the series trailer and fill you in on the back stories if you're not familiar. One of the biggest changes seems to be
the origin: the pair *possibly* do not have their powers activated by the synthetic drug as in the comics...rather there's some kind of accident (related to the evil Roxxon corporation, who show up on Agent Carter/Agents of Shield) they both undergo as ch***ren, and they don't meet again until later.
I bought Cloak & Dagger #1 when it came out so I'm good.
