In addition to an Iron Man sequel, Captain America, and a bunch of other hero flicks, Marvel is now planning to make a Runaways movie. Runaways was launched in 2002 by Brian K. Vaughan and Adrian Alphona. As a bonus, Vaughan is writing the screenplay for the movie.

“Runaways” is the latest Marvel Comics book to get the big-screen treatment from Marvel Studios.

Brian K. Vaughan, who co-created the series with artist Adrian Alphona, is writing the adaptation, for which Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will act as producer. Vaughan is also a co-producer and writer on ABC’s “Lost.”

The title was critically praised for its honest portrayal of teens and their issues and in 2006 won a Harvey Award for best series.

“Runaways” follows a group of teenagers who find that some family secrets are bigger than others when they discover their parents are actually super-villains. Running away from their homes, the teens band together and begin a journey of discovery, both of their parents’ origins and of their own inherited powers, while trying to make up for the evil done by their folks.
