With all the hubbub about Marvel’s upcoming Avengers slate, could Runaways be closer on the horizon?
According to All Things Fangirl, it very well could be. They’ve reported that in the program a new L.A. production of the play How I Learned to Drive, Weeds actress Allie Grant has written that she will be in “the upcoming Marvel Studios film, Runaways.” What’s more, the bio says she’ll be alongside Michael Shannon.
Now, Latino Review has noted that Shannon is in ANOTHER film called “The Runaways,” which is up on Sundance, but Grant does not appear in that film. Additionally, the Marvel Studios thing seems like kind of a tip-off — would she put that in if it wasn’t confirmed? Only if her agent messed up royally, I guess. What do you think? Could Allie be this movie’s raptor-wielding Gert? Sound off!

I LOVE HER IN WEEDS. This girl is absolutely hilarious. She’s be a brilliant casting choice for Gert.

I gotta check out Weeds… Anyhow, I hope this happens and I hope they get BKV involved in scripting it. He’s no stranger to writing scripts, and his Runaways was, by far, the best anyone’s done with those characters.

Well, i have to say, i guess that the oscars is great to look at, and i truly thought that the hurt locker was a awesome movie to look at!

Actually, I think she was talking about The Runaways (the Joan Jett one, not the Marvel one). They are both in that movie. I’m assuming it was a misquote, made up, or she was confused. Which is sad, because she would have been good for Gert’s part.
