Marvel’s New Warriors series now lives in infamy as one of the “almost-was” comic book movie/TV projects that fans were robbed of. New Warriors was an especially tragic case, as the Marvel YA series was well ahead of its time in terms of bringing a diverse cast to the screen. From off-beat characters like Marvel’s Squirrel Girl to some of the first openly LGBTQ+ characters in the Marvel live-action universe, New Warriors going to definitely give fans something different – until a “singular power that be” decided that the show was just too much to be released.ย

Comic book fans have taken some hard losses in these live-action adaptations – but the Squirrel Girl fans have been waiting an especially long time.ย
We Got A Director!ย
If Squirrel Girl gets a second and gets in the MCU proper, how about Paul Feig to direct a Squirrel Girl movie?

…then you owe it to yourself to check out her voice acting as Squirrel Girl in the Marvel Rising cartoons! You can find 'em streaming on @DisneyPlus! pic.twitter.com/a1WFMSEBLP
There is a way that you can enjoy this version of Squirrel Girl that we would’ve seen in New Warriors. At least in animated form.ย

The Marvel Cinematic Universe needs its strongest heroine if the likes of Kang, Dr. Doom, or Galactus are going to be rearing their evil heads.ย
