[Kalebninja 188]

Yesterday it was announced that Marvel's Runaways comics would be getting a TV series on Hulu by the showrunners of Gossip Girl and The O.C.

 

Info from Wiki

 

"the series featured a group of six kids whose parents routinely met every year for a charity event. One year, the kids spy on their parents and learn they are "the Pride", a criminal group of mob bosses, time-travelers, dark wizards, mad scientists, alien invaders and telepathic mutants. The kids steal weapons and resources from their parents, and learn they themselves inherited their parents' powers"

 

 

It's currently unknown if the show will maintain the original comics cast which consisted of From left to right:

 

Molly Hayes, the daughter of telepathic mutants, is a mutant whose powers include super-strength and invulnerability.

 

Alex Wilder, the son of mafia bosses, was a child prodigy at strategic thinking and planning.

 

Nico Minori, the daughter of dark wizards, is a witch capable of manipulating magic.

 

Chase Stein, the son of mad scientists, steals his father's flame generating/manipulating gauntlets called "the Fistigons"

 

Karolina Dean, the daughter of alien invaders, is a solar-powered alien.

 

Gertrude Yorkes, the daughter of time-traveling criminals

 

and someone who isnt in the picture and may not even be in the show, Old Lace, a genetically engineered dinosaur from the 87th century, Gertrude's pet.

 

 

Here's my Fancast.

 

Molly - Play by Malina Weissman

Fantastic, I loved this comic

I was always interested in the Runaways, but I just never had the chance to read them. Sadly though, I will not be adding Hulu, so I won't be watching it.

I believe Hulu shows eventually get released on DVD/Bluray, their flagship show 11.22.63 just got released this month. About 5 months after it finished airing. 

 

Edit: but then again it's probably more cost effective to pay for 3 months of Hulu and get access to all the shows rather than pay $25 for the one show on dvd.

Hmm, this is pretty cool!  But one question comes to mind...will this show tie into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, like Daredevil, Agents Of Shield and the like have done? Or will it be its own, separate thing?
