Has Marvel’s Runaways Movie Begun Casting?


Allie Grant (Weeds) has been linked to the film adaptation of Marvel’s Runaways series following a posting in a theater program. Nothing is known about how close the Runaways movie is to production – but the latest revelation suggests Marvel may have begun casting the film.

According to a program for a US theater production of  “How I Learned to Drive”, in which Grant stars, reveals that she is in line to star in the comic book film about super-powered teenagers on the run from their villainous parents.

The program reads,

“Grant can be seen opposite Michael Shannon in the upcoming Marvel Studios film, Runaways.”

Various outlets point out that the theater may have mixed up the Marvel comic book titled “The Runaways” with the Joan Jett biopic The Runaways, which Michael Shannon is a cast member of. However,  Allie Grant is not listed as a cast member for that film.
