Back in 2017, Marvel Television announced plans for a New Warriors TV show. The half-hour scripted superhero comedy was originally picked up straight to series at the Disney-owned Freeform network, but even though the pilot reportedly tested very well, the project was ultimately scrapped.

Now, showrunner Kevin Biegel has taken to Twitter to share some behind-the-scenes photos and footage from his defunct series, and they include our first proper look at star Milana Vayntrub in-costume as Squirrel Girl.

New Warriors would also have featured Derek Theler as Mister Immortal, Jeremy Tardy as Night Thrasher, Calum Worthy as Speedball, Matthew Moy as Microbe, and Kate Comer as Debrii (some of whom are pictured below). Plus, Biegel previously confirmed that Keith David's character would have become M.O.D.O.K. at some point if the show had been picked up.

Biegel also commented on the show's fate, suggesting that one Marvel TV exec, in particular, was solely responsible. We wonder who he could be referring to...

It's a shame we'll never get to see how New Warriors would have turned out, but there's always a chance the pilot will be released at a later date.

Thank the comics gods this trash never saw the light of day. Also blaming straight white males as usual when your trash fails.

@MitcHendricks - The guy who killed this is the same guy behind Iron Fist and Inhumans. When he allows trash like that it’s ridiculous to assume that’s why he killed this. He killed it because he’s a bigoted pos.

@BloopBlorp2 - He also green lit the other Marvel Netflix shows and Agents of Shield & Agent Carter. He killed it because it was garbage based on garbage characters.

@MitcHendricks - Nonsense. Jeph Loeb wouldn’t know trash if Michael Bay was starring him in the face. Your entire premise is flawed.

@BloopBlorp2 - Or he can have bad taste.

As @MitcHendricks said, if it's accurate, green lit shows Agent Carter and Agents Of Shield and Shield had gay characters and more than a couple non white main characters.

@BloopBlorp2 - The tweeter has confirmed that he is not talking about Jeph Loeb.

He says "No, Jeph Loeb is a great, great man who worked tirelessly to make our show better. I love him."

@FearTheLiving - did that ever get to the pilot stage?

I know it was being developed and probably scripted but did they film anything?

Pause. Was that a dig a Jeph Loeb? lol

@RitoRevolto - No. Probably Ike. Loeb was the one who got it going in the first place. Loeb was the creative guy, Ike was the money guy.
