While the more well known Marvel heroes such as Iron Man 2, Captain America and Thor are currently developing into their own franchises, it would suggest Marvel have their hands full, or perhaps not, with Runaways in prime position to be their next, after Peter Sollett (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist) has signed on to direct.
For the uninitiated, Runaways is the creation of Brian K Vaughn known for also being the man behind Y: The Last Man. It is an original tale set within the Marvel Universe that revolves around the teenage siblings of super-villains discovering that their parents have dark secret alter-evil-personalities.
Thus a battle ensues between the group of six – who all have inherited abilities – and their evildoer parents.
At this stage the film is in early development, with no cast set in place and the script in its initial draft phase penned by Vaughn himself.
