Marvel’s New Warriors is about six young people with powers living and working together. With powers and abilities on the opposite end of the spectrum of The Avengers, the New Warriors want to make a difference in the world… Even if the world isn’t ready. Not quite super, not yet heroes, Marvel’s New Warriors is about that time in your life when you first enter adulthood and feel like you can do everything and nothing at once — except in this world, bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.
The series is co-produced by Marvel Television and ABC Signature Studios. Kevin Biegel (Cougar Town, Enlisted) will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Marvel’s Jeph Loeb (Marvel’s The Defenders, Marvel’s Punisher) and Jim Chory (Marvel’s The Punisher, Marvel’s Inhumans) as executive producers.
The network has ordered ten 30-minute episodes slated to debut 2018.
No stranger to comic book worlds, Keith David has lent his voice to several Marvel and DC Comics properties. He’s also well known as the voice of the Image Comics’ Spawn on HBO’s late 90s animated series. David previously worked with Biegel on the comedy series Enlisted. Other recent small screen appearances headlining OWN’s Greenleaf and the final season of Dan Harmon’s Community (having made a cameo in an earlier episode).
