On Tuesday, Marvel and Freeform announced that a new series featuring the New Warriors is in development. We don’t know much about the series yet, but here’s what we do know: the show will be a 30 minute comedy, and it will feature Marvel’s Squirrel Girl — a unique character whose powers mimic the abilities of a squirrel (she can climb, jump, and chew like a squirrel, and also has the ability to communicate with them). While not traditionally a member of the New Warriors, the character is comedic by nature and is a great choice for Marvel’s move into comedy.

Details about the other characters have not yet been released, so at this point, we can only speculate about who may be included in the crime fighting team.

Here are the characters we’d most like to see brought to life, and who we think would be perfect to play them:

Squirrel Girl

We already know Squirrel Girl will play a role in New Warriors, and most likely a big one, considering she’s the only character announcement we’ve gotten so far. Stellar acting skills aside, Shannon Purser is a dead ringer for Doreen Green, and would be a perfect choice for the role. The Stranger Things and Riverdale actress has even expressed interest, tweeting “So who do I talk to about being Squirrel Girl?”

Night Thrasher

The popular vigilante Night Thrasher would be a terrific character to feature. Dwayne Taylor created the original New Warriors group and could serve a similar purpose in the show. Kofi Siriboe would make a perfect skateboarding vigilante. He’s got the acting chops (not to mention the looks) to really make the part work.

Nova

As one of the more popular New Warriors, Nova deserves a place on the new show. The New Warrior comics have featured two different characters under this mantle, with Sam Alexander as the more recent version. Dylan O’Brien would be the perfect actor to play Sam, he looks the part and has a pre-existing audience in the target demographic from his time on Teen Wolf.

Namorita

As one of the founding ladies of the New Warriors, Namorita definitely deserves a spot in the Freeform comedy. She has superhuman strength and durability which increase underwater, where she can survive indefinitely. Hunter King (The Young and the Restless, A Girl Like Her) would be a perfect fit as the mutant clone, with her blonde locks and impressive acting range.

Justice (AKA Marvel Boy)

Vance Astrovick, the mutant superhero known by both ‘Marvel Boy’ and later ‘Justice’ has the power of telekinesis. He manipulates these powers in such a way that allows him to fly (by levitating himself). He also had a romantic relationship with Firestar, and you can’t have a Freeform show without a romance! Dave Franco would make the ultimate Justice, with his sandy brown hair and strong brows. He’s also got plenty of comedic experience to bring to the part.

Firestar

A founding member of the New Warriors, Firestar is an absolute must for the show. Her ability to store and manipulate electromagnetic energy makes her a force to be reckoned with, as she can instantly engulf whatever she chooses in flames. She can also manipulate the energy around her in a way that allows her to fly. With her long red locks, Riverdale‘s Madelaine Petsch strongly resembles Angelica Jones, and could bring her to life seamlessly.

Speedball (AKA Penance)

Speedball’s powers have changed over time, but he’s most well known for his kinetic force fields that take a bubble-like form. He has spent more time with the New Warriors than most, which is why he deserves a spot on the show. Glee alum Chord Overstreet could bring a comedic angle to this already fun character.

These choices were primarily based on the founding members of the New Warriors, but any of the heroes that have been on the team over the years would make fantastic TV characters. The New Warriors show is sure to be exceptional, coming from Marvel Studios. For more on this and your other favorite Marvel shows, be sure to check out our Marvel page!
