CLOAK & DAGGER Showrunner Teases Mister Jip And More "Fantastical" Villains For Season 2

Season 1 of Marvel's Cloak & Dagger has been fairly light on fantasy elements, but if what Joe Pokaski says is true, that will change as the story unfolds and the series transitions into its second season.

Marvel and Freeform’s Cloak & Dagger has certainly hinted at Tyrone and Tandy’s abilities being somewhat mystical in nature, but so far, the first season has told a fairly grounded story about the heroic duo.

But if you’re hoping to see the two heroes deal with some more fantastical threats, then you may be in luck, as showrunner Joe Pokaski hints at the inclusion of more fantasy elements as Season 1 comes to a close.

"We're saving some of the more fantastical [villains]," the showrunner told the folks at Syfy Wire. "I think we wanted to start off very grounded when we first started talking about this show, something that Marvel does really well, it has to be the world the way it is. That's where we started, and as you'll see, especially from episode seven on, we turn up the heat quite a bit."

Aside from revealing that the show will incorporate more supernatural elements in the future, Pokaski also hinted at one Cloak & Dagger villain in particular: Mister Jip. He even suggested viewers already saw a tease for the baddie earlier this season.

“You didn't see him in episode six? It's possible you did. I'm not spoiling anything, I'm not committing to anything. But you should go back and look carefully at the scene where Tyrone goes into Kev's dream and [sees] that kid with the backpack's fears. I have a feeling if we're lucky enough to have a season two, a lot your favorites will be making appearances."

In the comic books, Jip is a powerful sorcerer, who - before becoming an adversary of Cloak and Dagger - was a student of Doctor Strange's master the Ancient One. So, his abilites would make him distinct from the threats Tandy and Tyrone have dealt with on the show so far

When it showed child Tyrone's bedroom wall, I saw a drawing of what looked like the villain Swarm. But he had an insect body instead of being made of a literal swarm. I'd definitely love to see Jip or Manticore or Killer Shrike show up.

marvel needs to stop starting out without the major comic elements, its a tired formula and if IW proved anything that's what people want.

Honestly If they adapt a character like zemo without the mask again, they are just trolling.

@Kd666dash3dot7 - If they do make a Thunderbolts movie, Zemo will surely wear a mask, because I don't think the public would be happy about a known terrorist leading a super team.

@Kd666dash3dot7 - there was nothing wrong with Zemo starting out without the mask. He will get it.

@Kd666dash3dot7 - “... its a tired formula and if IW proved anything that's what people want.”

you mean the same infinity war that only worked because these characters had been previously established and fleshed out for a decade prior?

I'm waiting for the season to wrap before I start watching. What are the general thoughts of th show from everyone. My little brother tells me it's really good. And after finishing Reno 911 I'm a few days I need something to binge.

@MrCamw1 - It's fantastic. They give their origins a much needed revamp, and it's very adult in theme. Sex, drugs, violence, and so far Cloak is looking comic accurate.

@MrCamw1 - it's alright. It's no Agents of SHIELD or Legends or Black Lightning or Gotham, or even Arrow, but it's much better than The Runaways. The acting is well done, but the story has been pretty slow and largely uninteresting. It's like a 7.8/10 so far for me. Not great, but alright.

@rabid - interesting. Any negatives if you had any?
MrCamw1
MrCamw1 - 7/14/2018, 5:57 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - 7.8 is not a bad score in my book sir. And "its no" you mean better or worse than those shows?
rabid
rabid - 7/14/2018, 6:00 PM
@MrCamw1 - It's slowwwww. But that's to be expected because there's not a ton of mythology to use. Wouldn't want to burn through it all in one season like Jessica Jones did.

@MrCamw1 - it's not on their level. Those shows are all better. I think the show just has issues with pace and interesting plot. You need to move the story along and grab the audience. Really grip the viewer and make them say "holy crap, what a crazy amazing episode that was, I cant wait for next week." That is what SHIELD does. Of course this is a grounded show that focuses on the themes and two leads, but I think they could make it more appealing.

Cool, that would be pretty neat. The last episode was the best yet. I do hope that next season they do a better job with the plot, pacing, and directing. I feel like the last 7 episodes could have been condensed into 3 or 4 if we are being honest.

MrCamw1 - 7/14/2018, 5:58 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - how many eps was the season?
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 7/14/2018, 6:03 PM
@MrCamw1 - its 10 episodes. I do agree with @rabid about not wanting to burn through your mythology in one season and get the dichotomy that was Jessica Jones season 1 versus season 2, but they could speed it up and make it more gripping and interesting. They haven't found that balance yet that makes a great show great...

@HeavyMetal4Life - so I shouldn't straight binge it?
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 7/14/2018, 6:57 PM
@MrCamw1 - I actually think bingeing it would be better, might make the episodes seem less slow.

MrCamw1 - 7/14/2018, 7:11 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - hm alright I'll give it a look tonight
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 7/14/2018, 7:16 PM
@MrCamw1 - note that only 7 episodes have been released so far.

@MrCamw1 - I wouldn't be able to binge it. It's too dense. Even after a regular episode, I feel exhausted from its sadness vibes.

@rabid - JESUS!!!!

One of the villains should be Mister Negative who is a villain that in comics had his powers in the same way as Cloak and Dagger and is also a villain of Spider-Man. Other villain could be the mob organisation Maggia who in the comics are responsible for Cloak and Dagger and in the MCU it already appear in Agent Carter.
