Marvel’s Runaways: Everything You Need to Know About Hulu’s First Marvel Series
Hulu officially entered the comic-book arena when it handed out a formal series order to Marvel’s Runaways, from executive producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage.
Based on the comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona, the live-action Runways tells the coming-of-age story of a disparate group of teenagers who “must unite against a common foe — their parents.” For those unfamiliar with the source material, the parents in question are revealed to be part of a crime organization known as “The Pride,” which hosts an annual “charity” gathering that serves as a meeting place for nefarious time-travelers, wizards, mad scientists, aliens and mutants.
Here’s the official show synopsis:
Every teenager thinks their parents are evil. What if you found out they actually were? Marvel’s Runaways is the story of six diverse teenagers who can barely stand each other but who must unite against a common foe – their parents.
The actors cast as the Runaways include:
Gregg Sulkin as lacrosse star Chase Stein, a brilliant engineer trapped in the body of a dumb (hot) jock;
Rhenzy Feliz as “loud-and-proud nerd” Alex Wilder, who longs to “reunite his childhood group of friends”;
Lyrica Okano as angsty Wiccan Nico Minoru, whose goth style masks an inner loneliness;
Virginia Gardner as Karolina Dean, whose “veneer of privilege and perfection” is challenged by her “newfound eagerness to explore her identity and pursue her own desires”;
Ariela Barer as Gert Yorkes, a “purple-haired, bespectacled, contemporary riot grrrl”;
and Allegra Acosta as Molly Hernandez, “the youngest and most innocent member of her friend group.”
The actors cast as “The Pride” include:
— James Marsters and Ever Carradine: Victor and Janet Stein, parents to Chase. He’s an engineering genius who has lofty expectations for his son — and when they aren’t met, retribution can be fierce; she’s a perfect PTA mom harboring a brilliant mind of her own, and who longs for more from her life.
— Annie Wersching and Kip Pardue: Leslie and Frank Dean, parents to Carolina. She’s a poised and skilled leader whose charisma draws in devoted allies and followers. He’s a former teen star who rode a short-lived movie career and is now teeming with insecurity.
— Kevin Weisman and Brigid Brannagh: Dale and Stacey Yorkes, parents to Gert. He’s a bioengineer whose deep love for his family oftentimes falls short as far as knowing the right things to say to his daughter. Stacey, too, is a bioengineer, and utilizes a more progressive approach to her parenting style.
— Ryan Sands and Angel Parker: Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder, parents to Alex. He’s a hulking presence who can effortlessly shift from approachable father to intimidating strategist; she’s a successful lawyer, deliberate and calculating in both her words and actions.
— Brittany Ishibashi and James Yaegashi: Tina and Robert Minoru, parents to Nico. She’s a perfectionist “tiger mom,” as well as a brilliant innovator and ruthless CEO; he is a gentle and brilliant beta, “the Woz to his wife’s Jobs.”
