00:00Hi, I'm Stephanie Savage.
00:08I'm Josh Schwartz, and we are the showrunners
00:10of Marvel's Runaways.
00:11Season 3 is the biggest season we've done yet,
00:13and we really have fully embraced the fact
00:16that this is a comic book show, and our characters
00:18are superheroes.
00:19We started out kind of telling a more grounded story
00:21of these Brentwood kids who are discovering some strange things
00:24about their parents.
00:25And in season 3, we have alien body snatchers.
00:28We have Morgan LeFay trapped in the dark dimension.
00:31We've got magic.
00:32And so the kids come in wanting to find their missing runaways
00:36and get them home safely.
00:38At the same time, they are discovering at the audiences
00:41that there's an additional alien, a fourth alien, who may
00:45have jumped into one of their bodies.
00:47We also very early on introduced Morgan LeFay
00:49as this character who is speaking
00:51to Nico in some way that she can't quite explain,
00:54but she's a woman of incredible power, incredible charisma.
00:56And definitely trying to tempt Nico over to the dark side.
01:00What would you like, Nico?
01:02I'm here for you.
01:03Well, we arrived at Elizabeth.
01:04It was pretty easy.
01:05We needed somebody regal, and powerful, and commanding,
01:09and kick-ass, and funny.
01:10British wouldn't be.
01:11British also good.
01:12British also good.
01:13And she just fit the bill perfectly.
01:15And when we spoke to her, she couldn't
01:16have been more excited, and she's having a blast.
01:19I think you can tell on screen.
01:21You're not scared for me.
01:23You're scared of me.
01:24Well, Nico and Carolina's relationship
01:26has always been a core of the show.
01:28But I think this year, it really comes to the fore
01:31and really gets tested in a way that we
01:33haven't quite seen before.
01:34This season is very much a story of dark versus light.
01:37And obviously, Carolina embraces the light, and is the light.
01:41And Nico is going darker than ever before.
01:42And who will win in that struggle?
01:46Chase, when he last saw the Runaways, was on the outs.
01:49He had betrayed the Runaways.
01:50He had gone back.
01:51He had joined Pride.
01:52He had inadvertently led Pride to the Runaways
01:54where they were captured.
01:56So he is going to have a lot of making up to do for his deeds,
02:00especially with Gert.
02:02And if he thinks Gert is just going to ever accept him again
02:04with open arms, he's got another thing coming.
02:07Also, one of our biggest stories this year,
02:09the Cloak and Dagger crossover, comes from the comic.
02:13Boom.
02:14True dat.
02:14Who are you?
02:15What the hell have you done?
02:17I mean, it's something we've wanted to do for a couple
02:18years because of the comic book.
02:20But also, this idea of these young superheroes
02:22in the Marvel universe, you just feel like they
02:24need to partner up.
02:25They don't have any idea that there's other kids
02:27with powers out there.
02:29It's not just that they're in our world.
02:31They're really integrated in the story
02:33that we're telling, in the action,
02:35in the character development, and in kind
02:39of like the premise of both of the shows
02:41is connected in a way that I think will surprise people.
02:43Who are you?
02:46Zanet.
02:47It's really fun this year.
02:48We go deeper into the alien powers.
02:50We haven't really seen what aliens inside humans
02:53can fully do.
02:55And we're about to see that.
02:56They have some tricks up their sleeves.
02:58We have a whole action sequence at Dale York's cabin set
03:01to fishes bouncing around the room.
03:03Might be the first Marvel fish action scene
03:06that's been done before.
03:07So we're breaking new ground here.
03:08And then the biggest thing is just when our sorceresses come
03:12to town, that we are seeing a whole new kind of magic
03:16that we've never seen on the show before.
03:17This year's bigger, wilder, and at the same time, darker.
03:21And there's going to be some real consequences this year.
03:24Not everyone's going to survive the season.
03:27And that was a special chat with the showrunners
03:29from Marvel's Runaways Season 3, coming soon.
03:31Oh, very nice to pick their brains
03:33and see where all these awesome ideas come from.
03:34Oh my gosh, give me Morgan LeFay, or give me Death.
03:38If you get her, you get Death, so maybe.
