The world now has six new superheroes thanks to Marvel Television, with the New Warriors cast today according to THR.
New Warriors is Marvel’s first live-action scripted comedy. The 10-episode straight-to-series follows six young people learning to cope with their abilities while also having lives. New Warriors will launch in 2018. It will be Freeform’s second Marvel show, joining Cloak and Dagger .
“We’re so lucky to have assembled such a diverse and incredibly talented cast. We can’t wait for the fans to see what’s in store when we unleash these iconic characters into the world!” – Jeph Loeb (Head of Marvel TV)
The cast and super team includes:
6. Squirrel Girl (Milana Vayntrub)
Vayntrub (This Is Us ) is Doreen Green, a.k.a. Squirrel Girl. Green has the ability to communicate with squirrels. However, greatest power is optimism. She also has a best friend pet squirrel, Tippy Toe. In the comics, she’s defeated some of Marvel’s biggest villains. Expect this to get nutty (not sorry).
