Freeform TV Marvel Comics New Warriors Lineup Revealed

Via MARVEL, we get a solid lineup of which new Warriors you can expect to see sometime in 2018 as Freeform rolls out Marvel's New Warriors TV show. News had been dropped that Squirrel Girl would be a part of the TV team, but little else was announced, leaked, or even alluded to, leading to hours and hours of FAN SPECULATION!! Would this be a mock reality series mirroring a very popular run of the comic series or a straight up teen super hero action/drama series? Welp...we still don't know the exact tone the show will take, but with these character announcements, we can for some ideas...

Misfits & Marvel's Cloak and Dagger Coming to Freeform/ABC Family

The latter part of that title is fairly important I think, as a show premiering on ABC Family would be squeaky clean, no? I could be wrong, but it's something worth noting, especially for a show like Misfits that was known for its sex, drugs and foul mouthed action (all of which, I was quite happy with!) Beyond that, more Marvel on TV is always AWESOME!! I'd say i'm at least minimally aware of Cloak and Dagger's history in the Marvel Comics Universe, as they popped up often in Spider-Man..fought alongside the Avengers..and i'm sure I saw them running with the X-Men and/or New Mutants once or twice. Not being A or even B list characters, it will be interesting to see what Marvel villains this production is allowed to fold into their universe. Another question...would they be Inhumans rather than Mutants and so, tied to the Agents of SHIELD TV show? We'll know soon enough!
