John Boyega as Cloak, that's an interesting choice. Anyone who's watched Attack the Block, or a little-known movie called The Force Awakens knows that Boyega is pretty decent in the sci-fi unit. Plus, I can imagine Cloak and Dagger having a similar relationship to the Maximoff twins or Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and I can see Boyega playing that type of role really well. Well, I guess when you say like that, yeah I completely agree.

But I always assumed Cloak and Dagger would be one of the darker MCU productions, Boyega isn't really known for extremely deep and compelling performances. Just like Robert Redford wasn't known for playing the bad guy. Or how Chris Evans wasn't known for playing any role that wasn't just his Fantastic Four character. Marvel has a thing for casting actors against type.
