Marvel has no shortage of properties they can use to adapt for the big or small screen. Considering how popular television has become, it’s no surprise that the studio would want to have a piece of that market. Now we are getting our first look at two of their newest shows. The Inhumans, which was once a film that has now become a TV series, though that doesn’t mean it won’t be getting the film treatment as its pilot will debut in IMAX theaters. Runaways is the second show. While it won’t have anything as grand as The Inhumans, the show has already been picked up by Hulu, so that’s a very good sign. Check out the first images and a teaser for The Inhumans, below.
Last August we found out that Hulu had ordered a pilot episode for a potential series based on Marvel’s Runaways from Y: The Last Man and Saga creator Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona.
The comic follows a group of kids who—during their parents’ yearly “charity” gathering—discover that their parents are actually members of an evil organization known as “The Pride.”
Now the full cast has been put together, rounded out by the recent announcement of who will be playing the parents on the show. Continue reading to see who’s playing who.
