Out of everything I've seen so far for Marvel's upcoming Cloak & Dagger coming to Freeform, this one just didn't really do it for me. That's just this trailer, as I'm still highly awaiting the show's June 7th premier. I really just wasn't feeling the style of it. Also, this was the first time I really started to worry about how much "Cloak & Dagger" as opposed to teen drama are we gonna get? I'm still not ready to write off Freedom's first steps into the Marvel universe, but I do have realistic expectations after Agents of SHIELD, & even more so the horrible Inhumans. Which I watched all the way through, & while not as bad as they say, it's a far cry from good. Are y'all diggin' this trailer though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel Releases Sneak Peak Of "Cloak & Dagger" For Freeform
Here's a pretty good look of the first build-up to Cloak & Dagger getting their powers in the new series coming to Freeform June 7th. It's a longer look at what was released before. It's kinda funny when they tell this story later in life it will all center around a stolen wallet. This looks like it could build into something good. These kids aren't going too win awards, but it's TV, so I'm not expecting much. If this thing can pull of an Agents of SHIELD vibe even, I'm totally in. I'm hoping it's as good as HULU's Marvel Runaways. What do y'all think of this sneak peak though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Marvel's New Warriors Has It's Cast, & Yes That Means Squirrel Girl
Still waiting for the upcoming Cloak & Dagger in 2018, it appears Freeform now has it's cast set for New Warriors due to follow in the same year. THR revealed in an exclusive that Milana Vayntrub (This Is Us) & Derek Theler (Baby Daddy) will lead the ensemble cast in the comedic series as Squirrel Girl & Mister Immortal. This is to be a live-action scripted comedy about six young folks sounds like F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. Only with the addition of villains & super powers. The 10-episode series will also feature Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher, Calum Worthy as Speedball, Matthew Moy as Microbe, & Kate Comer as Debrii. Now to be honest, I don't know anything about these people they have cast. So, if anyone else has an opinion on these choices leave them in the comments, as I would love to know a little about these choices. I also don't know much about these characters from the comics either. That's part of what intrigues me about this. I know who Squirrel Girl is, unfortunately. I know she's a fan favorite, & the people that love her, LOVE her. I just can't get over the silliness of the character. With the powers of a squirrel, she's labeled as unbeatable. A feat which she has backed up, but only "off panel". Meaning, she fights big baddies, but it's almost a fade to black before she wins. I read a couple issues of Night Thrasher, he's almost like an armored up version of Daredevil sans the blindness. My only knowledge of Speedball come from the events that launched Civil War in the comics. He was the sole survivor when a villain took out a whole town, prompting superhero registration. The other three, I am not really familiar with at all. According to the article Mister Immortal is exactly what he sounds like, yet he's never used his powers, Microbe is a hypochondriac who has the ability to talk to germs, & Debrii, low-level, very low-level telekinetic. I hope this is really good. I have no reason to worry so far, as the preview for Cloak & Dagger looked really good. As soon as that starts to come around I'm sure will probably get our first look at this.
Trailer For Marvel's Cloak & Dagger
Marvel released the trailer for the Cloak & Dagger series that is to premier on Freeform sometime in 2018, & it looks good. However, even though I may know more about the major two comic-book companies than one person should, these two have pretty much stayed off my radar. I'm only familiar with them as it comes to their part in big crossover events, & that's just basic knowledge like what they can do. Cloak is the guy, he manipulates shadows, & can use it to teleport himself & others. (At one point in Civil War he transported all the Avengers, which is almost everyone when you're talking comic-books, at the same time.) Dagger, she manipulates light into solid form making daggers to throw. That is the extent of my knowledge on the two. If I could read it all I would, but my pockets only allow so many comics. The show looks like it could be really good though as long as they can balance out the "teen drama" & the "superhero" of it all. It's working though, I didn't know what Freeform was until the announcement of this & the New Warriors. Just judging by the trailer though, I will totally give this a fair chance. It looks pretty interesting. I'm just going to keep Agents of SHIELD expectations, & 60%-75% of the time I really enjoy that show.
"Cloak & Dagger" & "New Warriors" Coming to Freeform
Marvel has announced their first comedic television series in Marvel's New Warriors. Airing some time in 2018, Freeform has put in an order for ten 30-minute episodes. It's about six young people with powers living & working together. If your thinking Real World or Friends with super powers you're probably not that far off. The only other real details are their powers will be on the other side of the spectrum of skillsets you see from The Avengers, & the announcement of first team member Squirrel Girl. Yes, everyone's fan-favorite the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl will unleash her squirrel powers off the pages of Marvel comics into live-action. This was hot off the announcement having ten episodes of Marvel's Cloak & Dagger for season one also, coming sometime next year to Freeform. This one is described as an interracial love story aimed at young adults. While Olivia Holt's Tandy Bowen (Dagger) can emit light daggers while love interest Aubrey Joseph's Tyrone Johnson (Cloak) can engulf others in darkness & in the comics can use this as a means of teleportation. These series will be co-produced by ABC Signature Studios & Marvel Television. Jeph Loeb & Jim Chory of Marvel's The Punisher & Marvel's The Defenders will serve as executive producers. I've definitely got my eyes on these & will bring you more as it unfolds.
