Marvel And Freeform's CLOAK AND DAGGER Casts Olivia Holt And Aubrey Joseph In The Title Roles
It seems those earlier casting rumors were off, as it's now being reported that Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph will star as Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson in Marvel and Freeform's Cloak and dagger series.
Last week we heard that Debby Ryan and Noah Gray-Cabey were in line to play the teenage heroes of Marvel and Freeform's Cloak and Dagger, but Deadline has just debunked that by revealing the names of the actors who will actually bring life to the young warriors of light and darkness.
According to the trade, The Night of's Aubrey Joseph will be playing Tyrone Johnson/Cloak, while former Disney Channel star Olivia Holt will portray Tandy Bowen/Dagger. “The characters of Tandy and Tyrone have always stood out to me ever since I first met them in the pages of Marvel comics when I was a boy," said executive producer/showrunner Joe Pokaski. "When Olivia and Aubrey read for the roles, these characters leaped off the page. We’re so excited to see what these talented young actors bring to the Marvel Universe.”
A new synopsis and updated character breakdowns can also be found below.
Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger follows the interracial romance between Tandy Bowen (Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Joseph), two teenagers from very different backgrounds, who find themselves burdened and awakened to newly acquired superpowers while falling in love. Tandy can emit light daggers and Tyrone has the ability to engulf others in darkness. They quickly learn they are better together than apart — but their feelings for each other make their already complicated world even more challenging.
Tandy (Oliva Holt – “Dagger”)
Once a privileged little girl, Tandy Bowen watched as her family was destroyed by a disastrous storm that uprooted her life. Now in her late teens, an unexpected encounter with a boy named Tyrone sparks a life changing event.
Tyrone (Aubrey Joesph – “Cloak”)
Young Tyrone Johnson wanted nothing more than to prove he was fearless. But when everything he held close was taken away, life taught Tyrone to be afraid. Now older and more sheltered, Tyrone closes himself off. But when he meets a girl named Tandy his life changes Forever.
