Emma Lahana in Marvels’ CLOAK & DAGGER
April 18 2018Super stoked to see Emma Lahana taking on the role of Det. Brigid O’Reilly in upcoming Marvel show CLOAK & DAGGER.
“Detective Brigid O’Reilly is accustomed to working in a man’s world, but she isn’t looking to be ‘one of the guys.’ Her New York sensibilities have hardened her from being too friendly or open, setting her apart from her Louisiana counterparts. Brigid believes in justice and doesn’t think that anyone should be above it, including other cops. Especially other cops…”
Warning **spolier alert** in the comic Brigid goes on to become a vigilante named Mayhem, but no word yet whether she will follow the same path in the TV series...
