- What's up guys, it's Aubrey Joseph.
- Hey guys it's Olivia Holt.
- And we're from the new Marvel show, Cloak and Dagger.
- And we are about to dive in with MTV News.
(upbeat music)
- I think we need to talk.
- You ready?
- I'm very ready.
- Do you want me to start?
- Please start, I'm nervous.
- Don't be nervous.
- All right.
- I'm gonna do a little ...
- I'm not nervous.
- Do a little one of these.
Here we go, you got to get to the bottom,
'cause that's where like, the good stuff is, right?
- [Aubrey] Yeah.
- Okay.
I think I got twelve, hold on.
(both laugh)
- The most challenging part of being a superhero
is not being able to say anything.
- Oh, come on!
You can say something.
- Like, sometimes we say a little bit of things,
but I feel like the Marvel family is just very,
very protective of what they have, and I respect that.
- Just give us like a little somethin'.
'Cause I know you know, like I know ...
- A little somethin' to like give?
- [Olivia] Yeah, like what's like a little challenging?
- I mean, what was challenging at first was
the amount of hours on set.
I'll give you that.
But, after awhile you get used to it,
and, you know we became pros, I mean, I became a pro.
This is a pro already.
- No, no, you're like a legitimate super hero now.
So, I'll give you that.
Okay, your turn.
- Your turn, all right.
Be honest.
- Oh, we're gettin'---
- It says, "Be honest."
- It says, "Be honest," okay.
- Oh, yeah!
- I'm like, picturing it right now.
- Of course I do!
I've been doin' that since birth, man.
- Of course, right.
- Like day one, just, popped out and I was like ...
(both laugh)
- Okay.
Same, as well.
- [Olivia] Yeah, you totally do!
I've seen you do it.
- What's next?
- Oh, this is good, okay.
- Hm.
- Any Marvel character.
- Any Marvel, of course T'Challa.
- Yeah, I knew you were gonna say that one.
- Come on, like you know I'm gonna say that.
- You know it!
Black Panther, of course.
- We had the chance to meet with Chadwick
who was just a great guy, very genuine,
and I'll never forget that moment.
- [Olivia] I mean, I held it together pretty well.
- [Aubrey] You did, you did, you did pretty well.
- I was not okay, in all the right ways.
- No, we were really geeking like,
he is Black Panther, you know.
Black Panther is the face of Marvel right now so,
it was definitely an honor to meet him.
- [Olivia] Yeah, I agree, totally agree.
- Let's hear it.
- Oh, oh man.
Lil' Liv Hero,
instead of like ... - Lil' Liv Hero?
- Lil' Liv Holt.
- Lil' Liv Hero, okay, what with the five "V's?"
- That's so lame, I'm so lame.
- No, I like it.
Lil' Liv Hero.
- I mean, it's a work in progress.
I feel like I can do better, but I'm gonna stick
with Lil' Liv Hero right now.
- Let's hear a second one, if you have a second one.
- You know what, we'll come back to it.
We'll come back to that one.
- All right, all right.
We're coming back.
(both laugh)
- Oh, okay.
- [Aubrey] I think we already have a theme song.
- [Olivia] Like, Aubrey and Olivia do?
- Or Tyrone and Tandy.
- Or Tyrone and Tandy?
- Tyrone and Tandy's theme song would probably be ---
- That's a tough one,
'cause their relationship is like, mad complicated.
- [Aubrey] I know, I know.
I'm gonna go with "Lost Without You by Robin Thicke."
- Why have I not heard that?
Do I live under a rock?
- No, I definitely can't hit that note,
so I'm not gonna try to sing it.
(laughs)
- [Olivia] You can bring it down a couple octaves.
- No, it's like ...
♪ Lost without you, can't help myself ♪
That one.
See?
- I'm not crying, you are!
That was beautiful, Aubrey!
- It was not beautiful.
- Just a quick little serenade.
- It's nine in the morning and I'm going through it.
- That's actually really amazing,
because I feel like Tandy and Tyrone have like this really
complex relationship where they can be with each other
and feel like it's right, and then other times
they're with each other and they don't wanna
be around each other.
That's very complicated.
- [Aubrey] But even when they're not with each other,
it's like, "Damn, I miss that kid," you know?
- [Olivia] Yeah, that's definitely what Tandy was thinking.
- [Aubrey] "I miss that kid."
Okay.
- Oh, we're gettin' real deep, aren't we?
- [Aubrey] This is a good one, this is a good one, wow.
- I mean, I think a lot within this
last year, we've really ...
There's been like a massive shift, you know?
I don't think just in the entertainment industry,
but I think all across the board.
I think, you know with the whole Me Too movement,
and also a lot of what we're focusing on in our show.
We hit some really heavy topics.
Not only are we discussing things based
around police brutality, or addiction, or sexual assault,
I think all of those are realistic things that are happening
right now in 2018 and I think, you know,
I feel proud to be a part of a show that is not afraid
to discuss those topics, and to make it a conversation.
- Exactly.
- Not keep it so hidden, and all the press that we've done
in promoting the show, we've really discussed that,
and we've really touched on that, and I think people know
that we're really passionate about it,
and want to make it a conversation, and want to make people
feel aware about what's actually happening out there
in the world.
And not sugar coat it or make it feel glamorized.
I want it to feel like it's a legitimate, serious situation
that's happening right now, so yeah.
- We have a really special message.
- [Olivia] We do, yeah. - Definitely.
And I think young people are so vocal now.
- Absolutely.
This new generation is great.
I feel so confident in them, I mean, and us,
but I feel like we're just so opinionated,
and we're not afraid to stand our ground, and be vocal.
- We won't back down, I love it.
- Exactly, yeah.
- "OJ Simpson versus the People," oh my God.
- [Olivia] That's intense.
I did that in a weekend.
- [Aubrey] Yeah, me too, basically.
Just Courtney B. Vance, as Johnny Carpenter was just,
I don't know, I was so obsessed with how committed he was
and how easy it was for him.
- Yeah, totally.
I agree, that was a really good one.
And I'm also obsessed with Sarah Paulson, so.
- Oh yeah, she did amazing, too.
- Yeah.
- Not a good guy!
- Do I have to be honest?
He is the worst!
Totally kidding, by the way.
You're not the worst, you're actually the complete opposite
of the worst. - Aw.
- You are so down to earth, and just a really genuine
human being, and I think you've got this fiery passion
inside of you that you're not really aware of,
but you command a room, which is really cool.
And you're so, insanely talented.
I remember that, 'cause the first time we met was in our
chemistry read, and I just remember being like,
"Whoa, this guy's really good at what he does."
It was really cool, and you're really cool.
And, that's enough buttering you up, you don't need anymore.
- I know, I know, I know.
But you know how I feel about you.
- Yeah.
He's in love with me.
- Wow!
Wow! - I'm kidding.
All right, last one.
- Last one, better be good.
- I love a lot of things about Tandy.
I think what I love the most is that
she's not just one note.
She has a lot of different layers and dimensions.
She is a very cynical human being,
but I think deep down inside has so much hope.
Not just for herself, but for the journey that she's on,
and the people around her, and she is her own individual.
She beats to the rhythm of her own drum
and I think that's pretty rad.
I wanna be like Tandy when I grow up.
- [Aubrey] Me too.
- That was good.
I think we ...
- We're doin' this or this?
- Great to meet you, Aubrey Joseph.
- Nice to meet you!
- That was wonderful!
- [Woman] We have to revisit your superhero names,
you promised us that--
- Oh, I think that was a fake promise!
- Damn it!
- [Woman] Aubrey, I need to hear your superhero name.
- Uh, my superhero name.
- Guys, Lil', why did I say that, though?
- Lil' Liv Hero?
How 'bout you come up with my superhero name?
I'll come up with yours.
- Oh okay, that's good.
- Dang, Super-Goldie.
- Super-Goldie?
I don't even know what that is implying?
- Super-Goldilocks?
- Goldilocks is already a thing, though!
- See, I literally tried.
I tried.
- I think, in order to figure out our superhero names
we gotta know the powers, right?
So like, what would be your super power?
- Flying.
- [Olivia] Flying?
- Yeah, flying and super strength, definitely.
- Flying and super strength, okay.
I got it!
- [Aubrey] Well, what are yours?
What is it, what is it?
- Super Breezy.
'Cause I call you Breezy, that's your nickname.
- And the wind.
- And the wind, when you fly, and then
because you have super strength, Super Breezy.
- Boom.
I'm not gonna attempt again, 'cause we're
just gonna get the worst.
I mean, but tell me your powers though.
- I would want to breathe under water.
The ability to breathe under water.
- Duh, so Mer-Male.
- Mer-Male?
Great, great. - All right, I'm done.
I tried, I tried, I tried.
- Okay, we're done.
- Thanks a lot, for your time guys, we appreciate it.
- Wonderful.
- Thank you guys for watching.
We had a lot of fun.
I definitely had a lot of fun.
- I had the most fun, though.
And, be sure to catch our new show,
Marvel's Cloak and Dagger, on Freeform, June 7th.
- Don't miss it!
