Marvel’s Small Screen Universe keeps on expanding, thanks to a new series. Freeform is set to debut with “Cloak and Dagger,” a “televised tale of two teens who form a symbiotic relationship that allows one to teleport, become intangible and toss people into a dark dimension and the other to create life-absorbing light daggers,” according to Polygon. Marvel’s latest series following “Daredevil,” “Jessica Jones,””Luke Cage,” and “Iron Fist” features a youthful pair of protagonists, Ty "Cloak" Johnson (Aubrey Joseph) and Tandy "Dagger" Bowen (Olivia Holt).
The first trailer for the upcoming series is already up on YouTube, and has been observed to be a Young Adult (YA) interpretation of the Marvel characters probably because of the demographics Freeform is catering to. However, Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb clarified at the TCAs back in August that this wasn’t really the intention. He said to Slashfilm, "It’s a love story that happens to have characters that have always traditionally been in that age group. It’s not like we took something and made it into a YA. It speaks to a YA audience and is a YA property. Would I do “Punisher” on Freeform? I don’t think that’s going to connect the same way.”
Slate said that this is not the first time the 80s comic was adapted for the small or big screen. You have the 1946 adaptation by Fritz Lang, and the 1984 Hitchcock for kids. However, the site claims it has a big undertaking ahead considering the number of Marvel stories that have been adapted for both film and TV.
Marvel’s “Cloak and Dagger” is expected to arrive on Freeform in 2018, along with the “New Warriors” upcoming series.
