Brian K. Vaughan was hired to write a screenplay for Marvel Studios in May 2008, based on his comic book Runaways. [27] In April 2010, Marvel hired Peter Sollett to direct the film, [28] and a month later Drew Pearce signed on to write a new script. [29] Development on the film was put on hold in October 2010, [30] with Vaughan later noting Marvel Studios had decided to focus their efforts on a Guardians of the Galaxy film instead. [31] Pearce explained in September 2013 that the Runaways film had been shelved due to the success of The Avengers; the earliest the film could be made was for Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. [32] In October 2014, after announcing Marvel's Phase Three films without Runaways, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said the project was "still an awesome script that exists in our script vault ... In our television and future film discussions, it's always one that we talk about, because we have a solid draft there. [But] we can't make them all." [33]

An alternate future version of an adult Molly Hayes appeared in the X-Men crossover event Battle of the Atom. [94] Initially arriving under the guise of a team of future X-Men, Molly and her companions were later revealed to be members of a new Brotherhood of Mutants led by Raze, the shape-shifting son of Wolverine and Mystique. [95] Molly appears in the comic as a tall, muscular woman with an armored arm and no longer seems to be affected by the fatigue she formerly experienced after using her powers. Following the Brotherhood's defeat, Molly hid with her team. [96] In a subsequent encounter it is revealed that Molly was under mind control, she and her companions are freed and return to their future. [97] The other Runaways are mentioned in the event, but do not appear. A Swiss immigrant to America from 1907 and child bride of an abusive older man, she can control the growth of plants. [76] Currently adopted by a homosexual couple after the team disbanded. a b c d e Uhelszki, Jaan (December 25, 1976). Parnes, Sid (ed.). "The Coast". Record World.

After meeting, the three of them teleport into Wizard Headquarters and free the kidnapped Runaways, then free Geoffrey from the spell. The Runaways, minus Alex and Molly, then teleport into the Dark Dimension to save Alex. Meanwhile, Alex is being forced by a recreation of Darius Davis to kill someone. A recreation of Catherine Wilder tells him not to. The Runaways get help from Quinton who is killed shortly after. Later, a zombified Quinton goes after them. Nico catches Bowen's Lightforce dagger and uses magic to turn it into her own personal Dagger. She uses it to kill Quinton, making him vanish. Davis tells Alex that if he kills his mother, then he will let him go. Alex reluctantly does and Davis lets him be free. Dagger touches Alex's hand to see his hopes, but finds him standing alone with every friend's powers. She warns the Runaways before her and Cloak leave. With the third season being the final one of the series, "the story [was] said to come to a natural ending point". [42] When crafting the season, Schwartz and Savage were unsure if the season would be the last for the series, so they "wanted to ensure that the finale was as satisfying as possible" and crafted it as if it was a series finale, while "hav[ing] the potential for another story out there whether it's something that we get to see onscreen or something that lives on in the imagination of the audience." The final moments of the episode see Alex find a note from his future self, telling him to hide "Mancha" and to kill Nico; in the comics, Victor Mancha was the son of Ultron who would join the Runaways to become a hero, and Alex betrays his friends. Time travel elements are also featured in the final episode, something teased in the previous seasons, which Savage said was "in the DNA of the comics so it was something that we wanted to honor".

Victor Stein is having issues testing the container used in the ritual; Leslie Dean convinces Destiny not to leave the Church of Gibborim until she reaches the stage of "Ultra", which involves the then-upcoming secret ritual; and her husband Frank, an actor who is not a member of the Pride, loses his agent due to his role as cofounder of the Church. The group are all reluctant to sacrifice someone the same age as their children, but go ahead anyway. When they see the flash, they race to investigate, but are convinced by the children that there was an electrical problem in the house. Geoffrey later finds Molly's hairpin outside the entrance to the secret passage, while Victor realizes that his container malfunctioned and Destiny is still alive inside it. Meanwhile, Frank unsuccessfully attempts to enter Leslie's private study, where a decrepit figure lies in another of Victor's containers.

Loeb confirmed in July 2017 that the series would be set in the MCU but that the show's characters would not be concerned with the actions of the Avengers, for example, saying, "Would you be following Iron Man [on social media] or would you be following someone your own age? The fact that they've found each other and they're going through this mystery together at the moment is what we're concerned about, not what Captain America is doing." The showrunners considered the series' connection to the MCU to be "liberating" since it allowed them to set the series in a universe where superheroes and fantasy are already established and do not need to be explained to the audience. [65] Schwartz said they "were very capable of telling the story that we wanted to tell independent of any of the other Marvel stories that are out there." [18] Initially, Loeb had said that there were no plans to crossover across networks with the similarly themed Cloak & Dagger on Freeform, as Marvel wanted the series to find its footing before further connecting with other elements of the universe, though "You'll see things that comment on each other; we try to touch base wherever we can... things that are happening in L.A. are not exactly going to be affecting what's happening in New Orleans [where Cloak & Dagger is set]... It's being aware of it and trying to find a way [to connect] that makes sense." [43] On August 1, 2019, it was revealed that season 3 would include a crossover episode with Cloak & Dagger.
