Ah, intriguing. There's no excuse for this not to be a multicultural team, with boys and girls. The producers can pick from various teen heroes and supporting characters throughout Marvel's history. From my POV, they might as well not just consider New Warriors, but also others like the Young Avengers characters. They can also de-age some "B-list" adult characters as well. (Let's face it, the entire Avengers roster is not making it to the films.)
Depending on how the producers decide to retcon the age/backstory of the various characters, it could set up some interesting relationships and storylines.

Clearly, Squirrel Girl is going to be part of this. It will be fun to see how they handle her fluffy tail. :
Who else? Based on the original members, Hmmm...
Night Thrasher: Team founder, no real powers, relatively "easy" to deal with the FX, accordingly. Good chance
Namorita: If included, I predict she'd be non-Caucasian. But there's the connection to Sub-mariner (and the entire Atlantis society), whose rights are complicated now. Slim chance.
Nova: Yeah, I know Rich Ryder just came back to the comics, but I doubt he would replace Sam Alexander in something like this. Plus, Marvel's space heroes are only just being explored now (Captain Marvel, GOTG). But who knows? 50/50
Speedball: cool powers, non-tragic backstory, but potentially too FX heavy (bouncing around at semi-random, etc.)? Hmm. 50/50
Firestar: Fox may claim her on mutant grounds-- or maybe she's a "shared" character, e.g., Wanda & Pietro. We'll see; maybe to cut down on FX she might be grounded instead of flying (for now); I'd love to see her, plus it makes for a marginal chance to eventually meet Spider-Man. 50/50
Justice: The producers have to change his mutant origins. But beyond that, the TK power shouldn't be too bizarre to depict on screen. good chance.
For human supporting characters, Rick Jones and his teen brigade could be brought in as a social media army, updating the old CB-radio bit. Might as well include Jim Wilson in this, he's not likely to be included in the movies.
Since this is to air on FreeForm, I suspect that filming may take place in Louisiana, like the upcoming Cloak & Dagger show. With that in mind, I'll be nuts enough to speculate that there's a possibility of including Spectrum- Monica Rambeau, here. She could be revisioned as a teen whose dad (or mom?) is a first responder with NOPD or Homeland Security/Coast Guard. Hmm..

Marvel’s Live-Action New Warriors (with Squirrel Girl) Ordered to Series
Marvel’s Live-Action New Warriors (with Squirrel Girl) Ordered to Series
Freeform is becoming a go-to destination for Marvel Television. In addition to the “Cloak and Dagger” live-action series that is currently in production, the network has just ordered a live-action series based on “New Warriors” to series. As announced by The Hollywood Reporter, the series will also feature Squirrel Girl.
RELATED: REPORT: Squirrel Girl To Star in Marvel’s New Warriors TV Series
Unlike previous Marvel television series, “New Warriors” will be a half-hour comedy. Kevin Biegel (“Cougar Town” is nearing a deal to write the pilot and serve as showrunner. THR notes that Biegel is a longtime Marvel — and specifically Squirrel Girl — fan. Freeform has already ordered a 10-episode first season. “New Warriors” comes from Marvel Television and ABC Studios’ cable division ABC Signature. Marvel’s head of TV Jeph Loeb will executive produce alongside Biegel and Jim Chory.
“Freeform’s mission is to deliver incredible content to young adults and Marvel Television seamlessly aligns with that mission — we couldn’t be more proud to collaborate with them on Marvel’s New Warriors,” said Karey Burke, exec vp programming and development at Freeform, in THR’s announcement.
THR’s report also includes an overall synopsis for the series, which highlights the show’s lighter, comedic tone.
‘New Warriors’ revolves around 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. With Freeform focused on a group dubbed “becomers” — those experiencing a series of firsts in life including first loves and first jobs — New Warriors explores the journey into adulthood, except in this world, they’re not quite super and not yet heroes and the guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.
The “New Warriors” show will mark the first major team-up between Squirrel Girl and the team. The Warriors — which includes such heroes as Night Thrasher, Speedball, Firestar, Namorita, Nova and Marvel Boy/Justice — debuted in late 1989’s “Thor” #411 before quickly landing their own ongoing series. Hailed as “heroes for the ’90s,” the original “New Warriors” series lasted 75 issues. The team has returned a number of times over the years, including for a more comedic take which positioned the team as reality TV stars in 2005.
Squirrel Girl similarly debuted in the early ’90s, in “Marvel Super-Heroes” #8. Created by Will Murray and Steve Ditko, Squirrel Girl most recently landed her own popular ongoing series — “Unbeatable Squirrel Girl” — which dialed up the hero’s optimism and comedic tone as she entered college and continued to earn the heroic adjective “unbeatable” in fights with major Marvel villains like Doctor Doom and Galactus.
