Eat nuts, kick butts: Marvel's Unbeatable Squirrel Girl

Has Squirrel Girl ever been associated with the New Warriors in the comics?
 
I would say the door's wide open now for Purser, except she just snagged a role in CW's 'Riverdale' as Ethyl Muggs. Don't know if Kendrick'd be willing to take a pay cut to star in a streaming series, so... back to square one casting-wise.
 
^ That is possible. She mainly does cartoon voiceover work these days and has no movie roles lined up, so she's available for live-action duty if she wants it.
 
Thinking about other New Warriors, I wonder what the situation is with Firestar's rights? Yes, she is a mutant, but she first appeared on the Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends television show.
 
Might have to call her Eichhörnchen Mädchen for the German market:

Bumping up with the confirmation that SG's going to be leading up a New Warriors series on Freeform (formerly ABC Family)!!

One step closer to superstardom...
 
It would be nice to have Kamala Khan be on the show, with Squirrel Girl.

I read that they've chosen the team members but haven't announced them yet, so I'm kinda hoping Kamala will be one of them. Ms. Marvel is the best Marvel superhero who doesn't have the powers of both squirrel and girl. I guess she has the powers of both Marvel and Ms., though, which is also pretty awesome.

Although I'd kind of rather have Kamala on the Inhumans TV series, so that this could happen.


Anyway, I just read the third and fourth trade collections, so I've now read the story where she fights supervillains in her sleep using computer science. It is indeed metal. It was also fun seeing her vex Doctor Doom using time travel and computer science. I also previously read the Marvel Universe graphic novel, which I think I must have read out of sequence. All great fun.

I just wish the tiny text captions on the page bottoms weren't quite so tiny, because I don't have the eyes of a young person anymore...
 
Squirrel Girl (and others...) has been cast!!

Following an extensive casting search This Is Us' Milana Vayntrub has landed the breakout role of Squirrel Girl inNew Warriors. Baby Daddy grad Derek Theler will stay in business with Freeform after landing the male lead of Mister Immortal in Marvel's first live-action scripted comedy.

The duo lead the ensemble cast in the 10-episode series about six young people learning to cope with their abilities in a world where bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates. Joining Vayntrub (This Is Us) are Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher; Calum Worthy as Speedball; Matthew Moy as Microbe and Kate Comer as Debrii. (Full character descriptions are below.)

"I am thrilled beyond belief to be working with this incredible group of actors. They are funny, sincere, eager, charming and perfectly embody these characters. It'll be a blast and an honor to create this show with each of them, " said Marvel and longtime Squirrel Girl superfan and showrunner Kevin Biegel (Enlisted).

You may know Vayntrub from her AT&T commercials...

@Nightowl1701 -- Perhaps a thread title change request to the mods is in order? "New Warriors Anticipation Thread"? "Squirrel Girl and the New Warriors Anticipation Thread"? "Squirrel Girl (and the new warriors) Anticipation Thread"? "Squirrel Girl and Her Amazing Friends"?

I didn't realize that was her, the Marvel article lists This Is Us and Silicon Valley as a couple of her credits.
 
I only knew her from the commercials and a few (magnificent) modeling shots. A friend of mine has a huge crush on her.
