The NZA Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 possibly ABC? This is nuts: Marvel and ABC Studios are developing a New Warriors comedy series that would put the spotlight on little-known comic book heroine Squirrel Girl, TVLine has learned exclusively. Both Marvel and ABC Studios declined to comment, but sources confirm that the half-hour project is currently being shopped around to cable and streaming outlets. and hey, if it's a reality show, maybe JZA will finally get his wish! here's my vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Focus on the humor, not the fact they are superheroes - or people will start feeling that comic book fatigue real fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Freeform, Marvel Television and ABC Signature today announced their second project together, “Marvel’s New Warriors,” a new comedic live-action adaptation of the popular Marvel comic featuring young adult heroes. This marks Marvel’s first foray into comedy for a television series. The network has ordered ten 30-minute episodes slated to debut 2018. “Marvel’s New Warriors” is about six young people with powers living and working together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world… Even if the world isn’t ready. Not quite super, not yet heroes, “Marvel’s New Warriors” is about that time in your life when you first enter adulthood and feel like you can do everything and nothing at once — except in this world, bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates. The series will feature fan-favorite “Squirrel Girl” (Doreen Green) as a totally empowering fan girl—tough, optimistic and a natural leader. Doreen is confident and has the powers of a squirrel… She’s acrobatic, can fight and talk to other squirrels. Her most important trait is that she has faith in people and teaches them to believe in themselves. Additional cast to be announced. Freeform also has “Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger” underway at the network. “Freeform’s mission is to deliver incredible content to young adults and Marvel Television seamlessly aligns with that mission–we couldn’t be more proud to collaborate with them on ‘Marvel’s New Warriors,’” said Karey Burke, EVP, Programming & Development, Freeform. “’Marvel’s New Warriors’ have always been fan favorites and now particularly with the addition of Squirrel Girl, they are Marvel Television favorites as well,” said Marvel’s Head of Television and Executive Producer Jeph Loeb. “After the amazing experience we’ve had with Freeform on ‘Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger’ we can’t think of a better place for our young heroes.” The series is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios. Marvel’s Jeph Loeb (“Marvel’s The Punisher,” “Marvel’s The Defenders”), and Jim Chory (“Marvel’s The Punisher,” “Marvel’s The Defenders”) serve as Executive Producers on the series. i know it sounds crazy, but Chip Zdarsky made me a Squirrel Girl believer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've heard good things about SG, I just never really took the time to check it out. Either way, this could be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If they could capture a little bit of what the show Powerless has going on then I'm ok with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 oh! well, that was a great crossover...still, i never really got into SG before the last series of the current book, marvel usually needs more non-deadpool comedy books like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
