Upcoming ‘Champions’ Series Is Reportedly Close to Getting a Showrunner

Marvel Studios is making moves to bring the Champions to the screen, as you probably know. Recent reports suggested they’re actively searching for a showrunner to lead this project, but popular industry insider Daniel Richtman says that the search is almost complete.

The Champions team, known from Marvel Comics, includes heroes like Ms. Marvel, Miles Morales (Spider-Man), and Nova. These younger characters have gained popularity in recent years. Marvel seems ready to introduce them to a broader audience through this new series.

As it has been reported, it seems that Marvel has shifted focus from a Young Avengers project to Champions. This change might be because the original Young Avengers cast no longer fits the ‘young’ label. By rebranding, Marvel aims to make the team more appealing.

Reports indicate that filming for Champions could start in 2026, with a release planned after Secret Wars, and Ricthman says, via Patreon, that a showrunner could be hired soon. This timing suggests that Champions might play a significant role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s future.

As Marvel continues to expand its universe, introducing the Champions could bring fresh stories and characters to fans. While details about the show’s cast and storyline are still under wraps, the search for a showrunner indicates that development is underway.

We’ll keep an eye out for more updates on this exciting project.
