\"\"<\/a>It appears that Marvel Studios has begun casting its next comic book adaptation, Runaways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Teen actress and singer Keke Palmer has told Essence<\/em> magazine –<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a nice little break with the steady TV show but I\u2019m definitely ready to do some more films again. I was just asked to join a new Marvel comic project called, Runaways<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Palmler is probably best known to movie audiences for her roll in the spelling bee drama Akeelah and the Bee<\/strong>, though she has had success with the Disney Channel series True Jackson, VP<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It is unclear as to what role she has been offered though, as while there are numerous female characters in the series, none of them are African-American. Is Marvel playing fast and loose with the ethnicity of the characters in their casting process? If they are, it doesn’t bother me all that much, and that’s speaking as a fan of the series. The Runaways cast has always been a fairly diverse one, so if they change things around a bit, I think I can live with it.<\/p>\n

Runaways was created by writer Brian K Vaughn and artist Adrian Alphona as a superhero spin on the idea of teen rebellion. The series focuses on a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are a supervillain cabal known as The Pride and that they have their own powers they can use to stop them. Vaughn took a pass at a screenplay for the project in 2008. In addition to his acclaimed comics work with his original series Y: The Last Man<\/em> and the recently concluded Ex Machina<\/em>, both of which are currently in feature film development, Vaughn has served as a writer\/producer for seasons four and five of Lost<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Peter Sollett is directing from a script by British screenwriter Drew Pearce. Production is expected to get underway in the spring.<\/p>\n
