Marvel’s Champions

[drb999]

I’m always excited for any Marvel project.

That’s not The Champions! The Champions in Marvel Comics are Hercules, Ghost Rider, the Angel, and Black Widow. Anything/anyone else is just a Disney wannabe bunch. Looks like it’d do gangbusters on The CW.

There's two Champions teams, the original from the 70s and this new version from 2016 where the Avengers teen counterparts decided to form a new team to try and be better than the adults after Civil War II.

Only Ms. Marvel and Ironheart were in the comics version though, but it makes sense to use the younger MCU counterparts as well, since most of the comics roster haven't been introduced yet.

Im for more Kate Bishop and Ms Marvel but I have doubts for this show.

Well in all fairness, nothing has been officially announced yet…

Well, if it never happens, then there’s nothing to get worked up about…

The die hard Feige fanboys only.

They already ticked Young Avengers off with the poor handling/casting of Wiccan in Agatha, and slapping a different team's name on a poor adaption of their comics isn't gonna win them any favors.

This whole thing is like adapting the first Avengers team after messing Thor up and deciding to call them Force Works.

I thought Feige said they were backing off on all the oversaturation but here we go with Iron Heart, Wonder Man, this... Whatever it is.

This won’t start shooting for another year, so it’s likely not coming out until late 2026 or 2027

Doh, I saw May 5 but didn't pay attention to 2026.

Well they already filmed Iron Heart and Wonder Man so it would be kinda dumb not to just go ahead and release them. This is Disney, not Warner Bros.

I believe Iron Heart, at least, would cost them more money if they didn't release it due to contractual obligations.
Probably the same for Wonder Man, and it's assumed Echo was released to save money on fees as well.

Some people have no idea what their content budget is…
