These Two Young Actors May Have Been Cast In Marvel's CLOAK AND DAGGER TV Series
Marvel and Freeform's Cloak and Dagger TV series may have finally found its leads, though there's a chance that fans of Tyrone "Ty" Johnson and Tandy Bowen won't be best pleased with these choices...
We've been hearing a lot of positive updates about Cloak and Dagger recently, but if a new report is to be believed, the two leads may have now been found. According to MCU Exchange, relative unknowns Noah Gray-Cabey (Heroes) and Debby Ryan (Jessie) have been chosen to play the heroes, though, at first glance, they don't bear an instant resemblance to the comic book characters they'll possibly play.
Gray-Cabey appears to be of mixed race descent, while Ryan is redheaded rather than blonde. That can obviously be sorted out with a wig or some hair dye, but they do otherwise seem like pretty good fits.
Can this report be trusted? While the site claims to have heard this news from sources, we're not exactly talking about a trade here and this could be the type of site that posts a scoop based on any old email they receive; we just don't know. Interestingly, they do point out that Gray-Cabey was recently followed on Twitter by Cloak and Dagger showrunner Joe Pokaski, so take that as you will! Ryan meanwhile has started following the official page for the characters as well, so that's...something!
Production is expected to begin next month, so here's hoping we get some official casting news soon.
