Cloak And Dagger Finds A Director
Cloak And Dagger heads into production next
month, as a director for the pilot has been found in the form of Gina Prince-Bythewood. Though we don’t
know if she’ll remain on board after the first episode, she will helm the
opener and that’s certainly promising news. Perhaps best known for Love & Basketball and Beyond the Lights, starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw, she’s got some
television experience too, having written for Felicity and A Different World. Of course, it’s
also nice to see a talented female director getting a big gig like this.
For those unfamiliar with the source material, Cloak and
Dagger follows two NYC teenagers, Tandy Bowen and Tyrone Johnson, from different backgrounds who grapple with
newly acquired superpowers even as they fall in love. It’s set to be aimed
at a YA audience and while it may not be the biggest or most well-known of
Marvel’s properties, the studio sees a lot of potential in it from what we’ve
heard.
Cloak and Dagger will premiere on Freeform in
2018. No cast has been attached just yet, but word is that Marvel is aiming for
relative unknowns to play Tandy and Tyrone.
