Marvel's Cloak and Dagger Adds Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph to Title Roles
Freeform is joining the superhero party, and has teamed with Marvel for the straight-to-series coming-of-age drama series Cloak and Dagger. Now, they have the stars of the show in Olivia Holt and Aubrey Joseph.
The series follows the interracial romance between Tandy Bowen (Holt) and Tyrone Johnson (Joseph), who have contrasting backgrounds but each with a secret they never previously shared with anybody else.
“The characters of Tandy and Tyrone have always stood out to me ever since I first met them in the pages of Marvel comics when I was a boy,” said Cloak & Dagger executive producer/showrunner Joe Pokaski. “When Olivia and Aubrey read for the roles, these characters leapt off the page. We’re so excited to see what these talented young actors bring to the Marvel Universe.”
“Marvel is delighted to have found our “Cloak & Dagger,” said Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television and Executive Producer. “Olivia Holt and Aubrey Josepn encompass the true essence of the characters and we are excited for the audience to see them in these roles.”
