No Comments

In 2018, Freeform will release New Warriors alongside another Marvel adaptation, Cloak and Dagger. New Warriors has cast its main characters, and, despite the many fan-casting wishlists out there, you may be surprised!

Milana Vayntrub (This Is Us) will portray the character who appears to be the main lead, namely Doreen Green/Squirrel Girl. Other actresses who campaigned for the role include Pitch Perfect's Anna Kendrick and Stranger Things' Shannon Purser.

Derek Theler will join Vayntrub as the other main lead, Craig Hollis/Mister Immortal. Theler previously expressed interest in playing the DC Extended Universe’s Shazam! opposite Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam.

The cast is rounded out with Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher, Calum Worthy as Speedball, Matthew Moy as Microbe, and Kate Comer as Debrii. Freeform has ordered a first season that consists of ten 30-minute episodes, and New Warriors will reportedly have a sitcom format.

Check out the show’s character descriptions, via The Hollywood Reporter:

Squirrel Girl: Doreen is a totally empowered fangirl who has the incredible powers of a…squirrel. Her greatest quality is her optimism, and her best friend is a pet squirrel, Tippy Toe.

Mister Immortal: Craig can’t die…or so he says. Although Craig's superpower seems amazing, he hasn't made use of it at all. He figures if he has all the time in the world to learn how to do anything heroic, what's the rush?

Night Thrasher: Brilliant and noble, and maybe a bit full of himself, Dwayne is a shameless self-promoter and entrepreneur who also deeply believes in justice.

Speedball: Robbie is an impulsive people-pleaser with a misplaced sense of confidence who throws kinetic balls of energy that are completely out of control.

Microbe: Zack is a shy hypochondriac who has the ability to talk to germs, which can tell him where you’ve been, what you ate, and who you hung out with. It’s impossible to keep secrets around him.

Debrii: Deborah is proud, funny, and quick witted. Confidently out as a lesbian, Deborah is a low-level telekinetic "” very low. Like, she-can-move-a-paper-cup low.
