Marvel's New Warriors & Squirrel Girl - @FreeformTV

[The NZA]

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

Focus on the humor, not the fact they are superheroes - or people will start feeling that comic book fatigue real fast.

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

[Visitant]

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.

[Da Cap'n 2099]

If they could capture a little bit of what the show Powerless has going on then I'm ok with this.

[Keth]

Oh my God yes. Squirrel Girl is fantastic.

Sucks we wont be able to see her "defeat" Galactus

[Drifter]

She's defeated Thanos, Doctor Doom, The Red Skull, Galactus, etc, etc... and Wolverine, whom she once dated... Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass indeed.http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass

 

And she is the baby sitter for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones-Cage

You're thinking of Dinosaur Comics' Ryan North, Z'darsky wrote Howard the Duck.

[The NZA]

ahh you're right, they both do the thing where they put text at the bottom of some pages yeah? chip loves that in jughead

[Iambaytor]

They don't, Chip just did it for the Squirrel Girl crossover.

[The NZA]

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

[Da Cap'n 2099]

[Keth]

Oh its the chick from the Att store commercials? She is a really good pick there!

[Da Cap'n 2099]

Yup.

Marvel's 'New Warriors' Won't Air on Freeform, Series Will Be Shopped Elsewhere

The half-hour scripted comedy, picked up straight to series at Freeform in April, will no longer air on the younger-skewing, Disney-owned cable network. Instead, sources tell The Hollywood Reporterthat Marvel will shop the live-action comedy to other outlets. Sources say there has been some talk that the 10-episode series from Kevin Biegel (Enlisted) could be taken to Disney's forthcoming subscription streaming service, though insiders stress

The pilot — which stars Baby Daddy grad Derek Theler as Mister Immortal and This Is Us' Milana Vayntrub as fan-favorite Squirrel Girl — is said to have tested through the roof and caught the attention of high-level Disney executives.

[Da Cap'n 2099]

Of fucking course.
