There’s been a lot of interest, strangely enough, with actresses like Anna Kendrick and Shannon Purser talking about wanting to play the role of Squirrel Girl, one of the more comedic elements of the Marvel Comics universe. The character has been riding a good wave in the last couple of years with a new series, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, that provided some lighthearted things for fans to connect with. The character has been around for some time and has amusing connections in the comics, such as being the nanny for Luke Cage and Jessica Jones’ daughter. Things that only comics can do…
While Marvel TV and ABC Studios haven’t had luck in getting Most Wanted off the ground and Agent Carter fizzling out, they’re looking to try something new by bringing out a half-hour comedy series with New Warriors. According to TV Line, it’s being “described as the junior version of The Avengers, the New Warriors are a superhero squad made up of teenagers, one of whom would include Doreen Green (aka Squirrel Girl). For the record, SG can do more than just communicate with the world’s vast squirrel population; she also possesses super-speed and strength.”
Suffice to say, we’re most definitely in, even if won’t be able to do what the comics do in the slightest. I’d rather see a high quality Pixar style film first.
