Cloak & Dagger
Marvel TV broughtCloak and Daggerto WonderCon 2019 beforehand of its season 2 premiere , where series Lord and producer Joe Pokaski discussed Tandy and Tyrone ’s arc in season 1 as well as where their stories go in season 2 , along with what all that means for Mayhem . Screen Rant had the opportunity to speak with Pokaski aboutCloak and Daggerseason 2 in a roundtable interview with other entertainment news outlets at WonderCon . Unsurprisingly , Pokaski wants to see Spider - Man ( any version of him ) inCloak and Daggerjust as much as the fans do .
How much prison term has pass off since season 1 ?
Eight months . I once did this audience with Joss Whedon , where he said , " I wish the characters to take off as much time as the audience . " And it made so much horse sense . So we tried to do that between these seasons .
How do you account for that in the show ? Do you guys have a time jump ?
Yeah , you be intimate , we pick up eight month later . Tyrone ’s still endure in the church , still on the footrace from the law . Tandy ’s back with her mom , but she ’s into it . Eight months and trying to take ballet social class , see what a regular lifespan is about . And we just start our story for time of year 2 where they are uncomfortable in their quilt , and then we mess up thing up .
Were there any storylines in the late time of year that you want to flesh out in time of year 2 ?
Yeah , I mean I believe some of the fun that Marvel and Freeform let me to do is to leave some dangling threads . At the destruction of the last episode of last season , we see Detective Connors be suck into Tyrone ’s cloak . We have no idea where he went . We have no idea what happen to him , what happen when you get sucked into Tyrone ’s cloak . And we also have n’t see Tandy step in there , so that was kind of a plot line I was emotional to hold on . We ’re going to explore what happens when Tandy Bowen steps into the cloak of Tyrone Johnson .
Is the tone go to be the same in time of year 2 or are you going to attempt to transfer thing up ?
I mean the tone is going to be similar . I think part of the fun of working with actor like Aubrey , and Olivia , and Emma is you get to see how in force they are . And the first season we contrive them and we crossed our fingerbreadth ; we knew they were talented , we knew they were some of the most beautiful people on the planet . But I was stunned , episode after sequence , what they could do . So I remember the tone is pretty much the same , but the hurdling we give to them emotionally are kind of handsome and more challenging .
Are there any newfangled challenge this time of year ? Everyone ’s back and they ’re kind of used to what they ’re doing , but is there anything new ?
I consider , honestly , the budget be up to our aspiration is probably the toughest one . Some of the beauty of the first season is we got to do a little bit of a slow burn , not only emotionally … we contract to do a whole sequence with them talk inside a church building . I think they ’d stamp out me if I test to do that this season . But it really worked . And now , not only do we want to recount - the grooming wheel are off - we ’re telling bigger story with a bigger telescope . We ’re also … when Tyrone knows how to expend his powers , Tandy set out get angry and creating short dud . All of a sudden thing get a little more expensive , so that ’s probably the bighearted challenge . But we have majuscule team in L.A. and New Orleans , and our actors always pull it off , so it turned out okay .
Since New Orleans is a city that has such a character reference … so you beat to shoot in New Orleans [ for season 2 ] ?
Yeah , it was fun . It was really impressive ; we had a lot of work party members kind of school text us , like , " Are you coming back ? I ’m holding off on a business . " We had almost all of our crew income tax return . They have a go at it Olivia and Aubrey , first and foremost , and they ’re great leaders . But it was really fun because we make a lot of people back so there was a fortune less discovering the show and more executing form of a better version of it .
What ’s an facial expression of the comics that you ’re really excited to bring to life on the screen ?
I do like finally maltreat inside Tyrone ’s cloak . I think that ’s move to be very fun . I ’m very aroused for the Mayhem character . It was really a blessing , you know , when I first looked at Cloak and Dagger , I was like , " There ’s no mythology to play with . " But we had this bang-up character who start off as an ally and then becomes a scary - as - hell vigilance man . And when we regorge Emma Lahana for the role , it was a blessing because she can do anything . I think you guys are going to be really impressed . I do n’t want to spoil anything , but learn what she does , with respect to being Brigid and being Mayhem , is one of the most amazing acting job I ’ve find .
Does she have a much giving role in season 2 ?
Absolutely . She … get a few more shot [ laughs ] . You be intimate , season 2 is really about Tandy and Tyrone . If season 1 was about answering the call and deciding to become heroes , then this handsome enquiry ballad , what kind of heroes are we going to be ? And when you ’re stress to figure out what form of hero you ’re go to be , one of the touchstones is sound to be , what about this person going around kill people and not asking question ? She becomes this thing … they ’re trying to decide whether she ’s good , whether she ’s evil , whether the answer ’s that simpleton . And they kind of determine their own moral compasses by way of her .
Do we get that answer this season ?
It ’s Cloak and Dagger , everything ’s grey [ laugh ] . We get several answer to that interrogative - all of them valid , many of them conflicting . That ’s kind of our show .
There are some emotional scenes in the first season , should I get my loge of tissues ready …
You dead should . At the ending of episode 8 , if you do n’t cry , you might be a robot . Like , captcha should just do one of those things , like … Did you cry at the end of instalment 8 ? Also , how many cars are in this film ? And if you ca n’t suffice it , you are indeed a automaton . We have a set of poise … every episode end with the impulse to waitress seven days for the next instalment .
What other superhero would you have it off about Cloak and Dagger to meet , ‘cause I be intimate they started …
It ’s the most boring answer , but Spider - Man , Spider - Man , Spider - Man . Like , I ’m a Peter Parker guy myself . I ’ve view [ Spider - Man : Into the Spider - Verse ] an uncomfortable number of times for , like … it ’s been out on DVD for , like , a week , and I ’ve belike observe it five times . It ’s so proficient . But I think , you hump , always the theme of great power there must also do great province , so we ’re universal . And , I call up , Tandy and Tyrone sort of are cousins to that universe . I recollect it ’d be fun to see them crossover at some point . Now there ’s like 15 Spider - Men , just give us one . We ’ll take the slob !
