Talk of a Squirrel Girl movie first began in 2014 when Marvel filed a trademark for the character, though it seemed to be for the hero’s 2015 comic reboot, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, from writer Ryan North and artist Erica Henderson.
Now, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World director Edgar Wright has voiced his support for a Kendrick-starring Squirrel Girl movie.
That said, at the moment, a Squirrel Girl movie starring Kendrick (or a Netflix series starring Purser) remain in the realm of fan speculation.
The high school-focused Spider-Man: Homecoming could inspire a college-set Squirrel Girl movie following in the footsteps of the Unbeatable comic storyline.
