Moving on. you may recall that it was put on hold--and then the film adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan's sci-fi action comic book Runaways was reportedly scrapped entirely--thanks to the success of "The Avengers".
Now "Iron Man 3" co-writer Drew Pearce tells The Playlist that there's still hope that the film, which he also wrote, will eventually happen:
"I think we ended up with a script that was really exciting for the [Marvel Cinematic Universe]. It's something I know is still something that Kevin [Feige] is still very fond of and think could be a great movie. Whether it shows up in the Marvel Universe is a different question because I feel like 'Runaways' is somewhat more of a marketing challenge, as opposed to here is one guy who the movie is named after. It's a lot easier to market Doctor Strange' than to market 'Runaways.'"
The comic follows five Los Angeles teens who form their own fringe super-team when they learn their parents are actually members of a big-time supervillain group called The Pride.
Peter Sollet ("Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist) was set to direct the pic.
Pearce adds that should "Guardians" be a hit, the chances of a "Runaway" film getting made are much more likely:
"Hopefully 'Guardians of the Galaxy' will be a gigantic hit and that will open up the Marvel Universe to more team-based projects and I hope that 'Runaways' might then be afforded more of a chance."
