Cloak & Dagger
Joe Pokaski , showrunner of Marvel’sCloak & Dagger , has teased that the series will hold raft more subtle nods to the wide Marvel Cinematic Universe - including bothAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.andAgent Carter .
" It ’s all connect . " Those three run-in are at the heart of Marvel ’s shared universe simulation , and fans often complain that the MCU does n’t quite survive up to that promise . The movies and TV show , for example , rarely intersect - and even then it only ever run one means , with the movies dictating event on the small screenland . For all that ’s an progeny , though , Marvel Television does seem to be hear to ensure their show tie together . Eagle - eyed viewers recently spotteda insidious connection betweenCloak & DaggerandLuke Cageseason 2 , for example .

harmonise to Pokaski , that ’s only the first visible connection between his serial and the rest period of the Marvel television shows . The last episode unveil thatRoxxonisn’t bore for fossil oil - they ’re seek something far more powerful . The most probable candidate is that they ’re experimenting with an energy that the MCU has antecedently called " Zero Matter , " but that comic book reader sleep with asthe Darkforce . While Pokaski did n’t confirm this theory , he did evoke it ’s precise by explicate howCloak & Daggerwill relate to bothAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.andAgent Carter . verbalize toComicBook , Pokaski explained :
" Yes , it ’s always our goal to connect instead of negate , if that makes sense . The thing I can secern you is definitely watch all of theAgents of SHIELDand all of theAgent Carterepisodes that share with Roxxon as well . Whenever potential , we want to touch base . I think there ’s certain thing that were done inCarterandSHIELDthat I do n’t conceive we ’re going to be necessarily duplicating , but if what you are sniffing around is the source similar , then I can say the reservoir is of the same source originally . "
It ’s a circumspect answer , one that carefully avoids confirming thatCloak & Daggeris deal with the Darkforce . In reality , that always seemed likely to be the slip ; in the comics , the Darkforce is the source of Cloak ’s baron , while Dagger wields the contrast Lightforce .
What ’s more , over the last few eld Marvel Television has carefully established a connection between Roxxon and the Darkforce . InAgent Carterseason 2 , a company holler Isodyne Energy attempted to pink into the power of the Darkforce . Then , inAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.season 4 , a throwaway line of dialog build that Isodyne had actually been purchased by Roxxon years after those events . Attentive viewers thus mistrust the Darkforce would be a key plot point as soon as theCloak & Daggertrailer showed Cloak standing next to a Roxxon sign .
It ’s exciting to see Marvel Television weave their plot - threads together so carefully . What makes this all the more cheering , though , is that all of these prospective connections are subtle . looker do n’t want to have watchedAgent Carterin order to understandCloak & Dagger ; the story are really very much self - control , but with link there that reward people who ’ve watched the entire range of Marvel TV show .
