According to the report, Secret Warriors makes sense because it seems to coincide with Disney’s goal to bring more live-action Marvel properties to their Disney+ streaming service over the next few years. One of the most successful pre-Disney+ TV iterations of the MCU was the recently concluded Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Shortly after Agents ended, rumors began to swirl that Disney was hard at work on a spin-off series, though nothing concrete ever materialized. A TV series featuring the Secret Warriors would seem to fill that Agents-sized void in Disney’s upcoming streaming lineup.
That’s not to say that Disney+ would necessarily be the ultimate destination of the hypothetical project. As recently as January, MCU grand poobah Kevin Feige discussed the possibility of producing another series for network television to air on ABC.
This wouldn’t be the first television appearance for the youthful crime-fighting team. In 2018, Marvel produced a made-for-TV animated feature entitled Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors aimed at a younger audience. The flick aired on Disney Channel and Disney XD, and featured many popular contemporary characters, including Ms. Marvel, Squirrel Girl and Patriot.
While the possibility of a live-action rendition would be pretty appealing, we’re not yet ready to stamp this news as certified. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
