According Production Weekly Marvel’s big screen adaption of The Runaways, has filming date range set for next year. Check it Out!
With Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers highly anticipated movies moving forward, Marvel is still actively developing a live action adaption of the “The Runaways”, with Peter Sollett to helm the film.
Moving forward, Production Weekly has revealed via Twitter, a date range for Marvel to begin filming.
Before word got out that Joss Whedon would be directing the upcoming Avengers movie, he was said to be directing Runaways. Regarding casting, CBM’s JoshW pointed out that Allie Grant, who is best known for her role in the TV series Weeds, is offhandedly listed “seen opposite Michael Shannon in the upcoming Marvel Studios film Runaways” in her biography.
Based on the cult favorite comic book about the children of super villains who try to use their evil powers for heroic purposes, the story follows a group of teenagers who discover that their parents, an amalgam of mob bosses, time-travelers, dark wizards, mad scientists, alien invaders and telepathic mutants, are part of an evil crime syndicate. The series is known for it’s solid characterization and its ability to tackle dark elements while maintaining a comedic tone. The stories take places in mainstream Marvel continuity and several major Marvel characters have made appearances alongside the teens.
The film will be distributed under Marvel’s pre-Disney deal with Paramount Pictures. And regarding whether or not the Runaways will be apart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe set up with Iron Man, the studios’ President stated that without as many references as the big-budget films, it could happen. Announced back in May, British writer, Drew Pearce would be penning a draft for the film.

dont see why not
I thought we were gonna talk about actual runaways. I’ve seen some and they were turned to prostitutes.
Has anyone here read the Runaways?
Yeah I used to read it. Reminds me of Naruto with how it started off so good with a lot of promise and then it just got really dumb and acted like it didn’t pay attention to anything that happened in the first issues. I guess when people make that cash they say fuck it and just stop trying.

From the looks of it they might be going with the concept if not the characters.
I’m looking forward to the movie, but I’m on the fence about them changing characters around. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Keke Palmer would play Xavin or something, we’ll see.
I’ll call my cousin later and ask if they mentioned the character’s name to her. Probably can’t get to her right now.
It would most likely be Xavin…but what are they gonna do with his real/other form? I guess, conecpt-wise, they could avoid his gender switching ways.
I still need to read this comic!!! DX
Nice pun.

I, for one, wouldn’t mind Xavin being a female >o>;
