Cloak & Dagger Stars Reveal Why Season 2 is Bigger and Better

T here with the cast of Cloak and Dagger.

Welcome back to South by Southwest. Our one year anniversary.

And Emma's brand new. Congratulations, I am brand new. I'm very excited.

Last year we were down on the bridge over there, talking and chopping it up. Cloak and Dagger everything, so welcome.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Uh so you guys been yeah, you guys all been to Texas before obviously, right?

Well no, yeah.

Did you guys get to enjoy the food last time? They have really good barbecue, pecan pie, queso.

We did enjoy a lot of food. And I feel like this time, well, we actually went to a really great place. My favorite so good. It's called Rocking Vegan Tacos.

Tell me, tell me about it.

Yeah, it's really good. And there's a there's a taco called the Bernie Sanders, and I have dreams about it.

Bernie Sanders, I like that.

Yes.

It's a liberal's dream.

Since we are here in South by, is there anything else that you guys want to do while you guys are here?

I definitely want to check out some music. Definitely. Um, because that's huge. I feel like even like when it's not South by, it's like the music is still alive.

Yeah, totally. It's a big thing of music.

You need to perform out here. I know. What's going on?

So, a guy's my life. What's going on?

We want to We want to be behind the scenes. We want to film you, go on stage and everything.

Okay, I'd like to be a backup dancer, please. Thank you.

Absolutely. Thank you.

Aubrey too.

So let's make it happen.

You're supporting dancer, me and Emma in the back.

Guys, my biggest supporters are here.

So the show films in New Orleans. Tell me about New Orleans, because I've never been. What like is it crazy out there?

It's sort of you can't really like It's hard to describe.

Yeah, it's hard to describe. It's something you have to experience. But we like to say that you know, New Orleans really isn't like the location of our show. It actually feels like another character, because it plays such a big part in our show, and It's I mean the way that it's shot is super stylistic and it has so much character already that um it just feels like yeah, it feels like another like being.

Yeah, and there's such a rich culture there and the fact that we can bring the voodoo aspect into our show is really exciting, and everywhere you point a camera looks spectacular.

I know every every single city has their own energy to it and I feel like New Orleans is definitely one of those cities that as soon as you get off the plane, you just feel that type of energy. It's it's I don't know how to explain it, but when you visit, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

You guys go out at night there?

Yes, the Swamp. Highly recommend. The Swamp is lit.

Okay. I don't say that one. What what goes down at the in the Swamp?

Lots of music, lots of dancing. Yeah, they they played the floor once for me and Olivia, and we danced to Spice Girls and Justin Bieber, so it's the most basic you will ever.

It's very extra.

Is that also when you guys go out there like cuz you you guys are superheroes, right? Like that's a big thing, especially in the Marvel universe, like have you you guys seen the fan reaction, like the response out there?

The thing with New Orleans, which is funny, like people in New Orleans don't really care about like celebrities or anything like that. So It's funny like the times that I've gotten stopped out there, like at a Taco Bell drive-through, like this lady was just like, "Oh, so you're the boy from that show, right? That's my favorite show." Mm-hmm. It's like, "Really?"

It's not at all. It's really cool though, because like I think that they they feel so grateful to like have that happening in their city too. They're they're so excited.

Yeah, totally. It's so humble.

Yeah. Because I think I would do that. Hey. That's awesome.

Yeah, it's pretty. I mean, I'm a vigilante, so I don't really wake up like that. Who should I kill today? Dangerous.

Uh, what's the biggest difference from season one to season two?

Season two's a lot bigger, I think. The action is There's a lot more action. The there's a lot of fight scenes, uh and we were lucky to do pretty much all of our own stunts unless it was too dangerous. So.

Any accidents, any bruises, any cuts?

I will say I got one too many bruises. Yeah, I have a lot of bruises because the adrenaline sometimes takes over and you're like, "No, no, I don't need it. I don't need an elbow pad, I'm good." And then the next day.

And then the next day you're sore, hurting, you can't get out of bed. And then you realize you're an idiot.

But it's worth it, cuz it ends up looking so amazing.

Cuz it's real, right? Cuz you're actually taking that hit.

Totally. Yeah.

Last thing, tell the fans why they should continue watching Cloak and Dagger.

Season two is bigger and better, baby. I mean, we're intensified, way more enhanced, and it's just gonna be really spectacular for everybody to go on this journey with the three of our characters.

And it's still a really grounded show. We're still bringing real life issues into the show, which I think is so important. So, yeah, season two is just going to going up and beyond.

Yeah, we finally see these characters coming into their own and, you know, um Brigid is gonna find herself by the end of this season and Tandy and Tyrone, the universe keeps, you know, pulling them together and pushing them apart. So, um it's just an extraordinary experience that I I can't wait for everybody to see. It's just amazing.

Amazing. That's I to say the least, honestly.

There it is. Well, mic drop that. Thank you guys so much. Appreciate it. Don't break it. Don't break it. Thank you guys for coming by.

Thank you.

Thank you.
