Apparently, Squirrel Girl was going to have her own team of super heroes on the silver screen back in 2018 with a Marvel single camera comedy. What the heck happened?
The most news I’ve been able to get has been that it was being shipped to Disney networks like ABC and Freeform, but there was no news about it at SDCC.
Has anyone even seen an inkling of this recently?
I would just like to find the pilot to see this for myself!
Seems like it got shopped around but nobody picked up. Shame too, the actress they got for Squirrel Girl is sexy as fuck.
New Warriors is DOA, Op. No one wanted the show on their network, so they just kind of let it go.
The squirrel girl actress, Vayntrub, at least secured steady employ as the character if her voice acting with Marvel Rising was any indication. Kind of similar to how Bennet is Quake for both Agents of Shield and again Marvel Rising.
I am still curious like do Pilots that just don’t get picked up fall into a graveyard?
It was suppose to be on freeform but they pulled it to go on another channel and it was never spoken of again
Why not just put it on D+?
Right? I’m hoping it’s one of those kind of developments still under consideration
well she got to voice Squirrel Girl at least.
She voice acted her at least
She'll always be my AT&Tfu...

You don't belong in this world.
At one point I thought they were going to save it for Disney+ because they were saying how well it tested and that it caught the attention of high-level executives. Maybe that was true or that was spin to help them sell it to other networks.
Its also worth noting that the show was ordered before Marvel decided to actually connect their movies with their shows. New Warriors might not fit in with that plan.

this.
it's probably going into the vault never to see the light of day while Disney muddles through the mess that is Phase 4 and 5 and figures out how much of that dumpster fire is salvageable and work from there.
Ellie Kemper would have been a better choice
There's a pilot out there somewhere but I don't think anyone has leaked it. Squirrel Girl & the New Warriors, I think it was called. This was the team they were going to use, a riff on the reality tv version of the team. Freeform was the destination but they ended up passing on it.
It was done by Marvel Entertainment and Jeph Loeb, NOT Marvel Studios and Feige, so it wouldn't have tied into the movies at all. Another adjacent Marvel show like Runaways and Cloak & Dagger.
And to answer 's question, sometimes failed pilots might get released as a tv special if they think there's some value in it (this happened to the failed Munster's revival a few years back, pilot got played as a halloween special), but for the most part they are just shelved. It might get leaked someday, that Wonder Woman pilot from a decade ago eventually snuck out somehow.
too old.

>Implying it won't be as big as the other phases
user Phase 4 and 5 are going to big. Marvel Studios has cemented itself in lto pop culture so people will still watch.
>Marvel Studios has cemented itself in lto pop culture
The Infinity Stone arc cemented itself into pop culture and it's over and done.
Nothing in the next 2 phases of MCU is compelling enough to be as big or bigger than Phase 1 - 3. Marvel Studios thinking that Eternals, Inhumans and all the other antiquated D-tier bullshit can pull audiences the way GotG did with a little "Disney magic" re-imagining for modern audiences is plain unadulterated greed and arrogance.
Cape fatigue is real and these people are too drunk and blind to see it. I might have had a different opinion had they started with shit like FF and Mutants sooner but fucking Black Widow? Nah son.
>back in 2018
You mean while they were still drawing her to look like a fat Quasimodo?
ain't nothin wrong with a healthy midwestern gal...
It was a full-on sitcom and even though execs reportedly liked it, it was seen as damaging to Marvel's brand, especially since it was going to be pushed as MCU canon despite the fact it was about as canon as any of the Netflix shows
It's pretty fucking stupid to drop the show because it doesn't connect to larger MCU at the same time as they introduced multiversity. There's literally nothing stopping them from putting it on Disney+ just as a nice material for overall portfolio, just slap tiny little clarification that it's not same canon as MCU.
They literally announced What if... cartoon for fuck's sake.
Squirrel Girl was cute once. Before she looked like a zika virus baby.

That Ghost Rider show on Hulu is still happening, as far as I know.
