    "It sure feels like Doreen Green is thisclose to blowing up and becoming the Marvel Cinematic Universe's family-friendly alternative to Deadpool..." Me, 2017

    ...and five long years, one failed TV pilot, a couple cancelled comic series and a superhero silver screen battle royale that really could have used her later, the brass ring of live-action stardom remains tantalizingly just out of her reach. But Doreen - and the girl who would have played her, Milana Vayntrub - isn't letting all that stop her. She's launching a six-episode podcast series on Apple and SiriusXM that takes her comic exploits into a rather unusual spot for a Marvel superhero.

    Is this weird sideways flex how she'll finally crack that tough nut of mainstream success? Stay tuned in, true believers!

    I said out, dammit!
    Milana is the most awesomely adorable woman ever, and is utterly perfect for the role. I wish they had gotten their act together and used her in a film or series. I'm not sure it's still viable now that she's in her 30s.

    Yeah, they’ll have to go real young like they did with Ms. Marvel… I wonder what Sophia Lillis is up to these days?

    It's great that they've let Ryan North continue her story (even in a different medium), rather than give her to another writer. Milana does a great job in this but I agree that it's very unlikely she'd get to play Doreen in live action (again.) But there's always the possibility of an older Doreen variant.
