Marvel's NEW WARRIORS Adds ENLISTED Actor Keith David In A Villainous Recurring Role

We recently found out which actors would be playing the New Warriors themselves, and now we know that Keith David (Enlisted, The Thing, Pitch Black) will appear as a baddie on the Freeform TV series...

The main cast of Marvel and Freeform's upcoming New Warriors TV series was announced last month, with This is Us actress Milana Vayntrub leading the ensemble as Doreen Green, AKA Squirrel Girl, alongside Baby Daddy grad Derek Theler as Mister Immortal.

Now, THR reports that veteran actor Keith David has also joined the fray in a recurring role of Ernest Vigman, who is described as "a caustic municipal employee who butts up against the hopeful energy of the New Warriors."

Though this Vigman guy doesn't appear to have his roots in the comic books, there's always a chance the character will turn out to be someone we recognise.

Marvel's New Warriors is set to premiere on Freeform next year, and you can check out the first logline below.


Not quite super, not yet heroes, New Warriors features six young people learning to cope with their abilities in a world where bad guys can be as terrifying as bad dates.

Seems like there's too many properties.

Given the comedic tone of this I am surprised there are even villains.

Hopefully this leads to Disney working with him again, for a live action Gargoyles movie.

@BlackIceJoe - yes!!!!! Would even dig that as a crossover set in the MCU.

@SySnootles - That would be cool. Marvel has made comics for that universe, so bringing them into the MCU, would be the next thing to do.

Nothing is more comic-booky than getting keith david to play your villain.

So I noticed that the actual full version of the Avengers: Infinity War SDCC poster from Ryan Meinerding's Twitter was never posted on this site (I think). The one in the article was taken from his Instagram

This one shows that Cap still has the stripes on his costume, so it's probably still the Civil War suit (without the star logo). And we have a broken up Avengers logo. I wonder if that means Avengers Tower gets destroyed or something

@BlindWedjat - in the comic con footage it showed explosions throughout the tower

@BlindWedjat - I just noticed this, but if you zoom in on cap's armor, the second layer underneath is the classic lamellar plateing!

@BlindWedjat - Hey you are a hero for posting the REAL full version, nice. I always thought the one(s) we had since Sunday was off because it did not match the full poster of Steve, his seemed to be cut-off and I am glad this is here to prove it was.

It's weird...I could swear I saw it on his Twitter and it was the other one. I'll have to check. Anyway you rock for posting this one.

@DENNISsystem - Holy crap I never noticed that! Why is his suit torn like that though? Is that how it's always meant to be?

@NinnesMBC - Thanks!

@IDKwhatToChoose - Wasnt the Avengers Tower bought by someone in Spider-Man homecoming?

@BlindWedjat - I could already tell he was wearing the old suit, but what he has apparently done is paint over the read white and blue colors or ripped them of the suit. He does still appear to be wearing his shield or at least some kind of shield, but he has also grown a beard as a disguise. I think this is an attempt at a more believable version of Steve Rogers as Nomad.

@MeAreLegend - yes but I am 90% sure I saw explosions rocking it in the trailer

@BlindWedjat - oh no mortal kombat annihilation had a broken mortal kombat logo. anyways the avengers are still broken up the outcome of civil war wont be solved until thanos is a formidable foe in the eyes of the avengers and stark. or until stark gets his ass kicked just like in the infinity war trailer.
