Marvel Studios spent years developing a Runaways movie, but as they started focusing more on the world of The Avengers, the project was pushed to one side and we’ve heard very little since. That’s all changed today though as it has been announced that Marvel Television will bring the fan-favourite characters to the small screen on popular streaming service, Hulu.

A brief synopsis for the show has been revealed, and it sounds like it will be sticking closely to the comic book penned by Brian K. Vaughan. “Every teenager thinks their parents are evil. What if you found out they actually were? Runaways is the story of six diverse teenagers who can barely stand each other but who must unite against a common foe – their parents.”

Gossip Girl’s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage will write and serve as showrunners, and Jeph Loeb, executive producer and Head of Marvel TV, had this to say about the duo. “We’ve known the Runaways’ story would make great television, and being lucky enough to have Josh and Stephanie–who have time and again created shows that speak so genuinely to this exact audience–write and produce the series is nothing short of remarkable.”

Since it's going to have a Hulu budget I guess we can assume we won't get Old Lace

Guess they're not saving the big reveal for the pilot. It's in the synopsis :(

I don't think he'd be hard to pull off even for a Hulu budget.

That's NOT the big reveal. I mean, that's the basic concept of the comic. When I picked up issue #1, I knew about their parents being super villains. It's the basic premise. The twists come later...

That isn't the big reveal at all. It is the underlying plot for the entire comic.

There is a big reveal in the end though. :wink:

Just finished episode 8. Show is okay. It's taken way too long to get to this point in the story though.

I've been watching. Through episode 8 as well. I've enjoyed it. It's a good binge show, but I don't know if I'd have stayed with it if I were going weekly with it like they intend.

Gert sucks though.

Totally unlikable character. I don't recall her being such an insufferable SJW moron in the few comics I read.

Finally finished this. Agree that it takes a long time to get going.

Appreciate that they used practical effects for the close ups of Old Lace. TBH they probably should have used more of them than they did.

The adults sure do stand around debating a lot of the time.

Glad this made it and not inhumans, though I would have preferred both
