Well, this is some great news to start the morning off. Having been linked to a film adaptation a while back, Marvel’s acclaimed comic-book series The Runaways<\/strong><\/em> is finally heading for the screen – the small screen albeit, to air on Hulu.<\/p>\n

Seeing a group of teenagers run away from home after discovering that their parents are a secret council of supervillains (known as the Pride), the group – mutant Molly Hayes, teen prodigy Alex Wilder, witch Nico Minoru, alien Karolina Dean, tech whiz Chase Stein and telepathic-dinosaur-controlling Gertrude Yorkes – have a whole host of adventures along the way.<\/p>\n

Intriguingly, it’s being adapted for the screen by The OC and Gossip Girl writers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, which gives a clue as to the kind of tone we can expect: a bit more light-hearted, but with more gravitas. It should make a nice change from the gritty Netflix series and the more in-your-face Agents Of SHIELD<\/strong><\/em> on ABC.<\/p>\n
