Marvel’s Runaways has comic-perfect casting and looks like it might even be good
Looking at the trailer, there are really only a couple deviations from the look of the comic. The typical “jock†Chase has a look more befitting 2017 than his original “character from Bully†look. The biggest stand-out, though, is Molly, and there’s a pretty good reason for her deviation.
In the comics, Molly is a mutant. Fox owns the rights to anything mutant-related, which is why they have shows like The Gifted and Legion airing on their networks. So some re-writing of the character to make her something non-mutant – maybe an Inhuman? – was likely necessary. With so many direct hits, though – Alex, Gert, Karolina, and Nico are all spot on – it’s a good sign the showrunners are paying attention to the books.
The Runaways hits Hulu on November 21. If you’re a fan of some of Marvel’s teen-oriented books over the years, there’s a lot to take in this fall. And if you just like Marvel shows, you’ll be able to see characters from the Marvel universe on ABC, Fox, Netflix, and Hulu, and next year shows will be popping up on FXX, FX, and Freeform, too.
