“ I mean it was really significant for the first season to really establish Tandy and Tyrone , even as people before they become superheroes … But I ’m a big fan of what Josh [ Schwartz ] and Stephanie [ Savage ] did on The Runaways and we ’re always blab about when do we get to do our crossing . There ’s probably 400 lawyers in the elbow room … I ’m excited for however Cloak & Dagger can bet in the universe . ”
The lawyers in question are , of class , a effect of the appearance air on different platforms . Even still , the power of the Mouse House should not be underestimated . It ’s entirely possible that Disney could find a way to bring the L.A. and New Orleans - based characters together if the correct narrative came along .
