During a panel today at the Television Critics Association press tour for Marvel's new Runaways series -- premiering November 21st on Hulu -- head of Marvel TV Jeph Loeb spoke briefly about how this new show might fit into the larger cinematic universe.
The story, based on the Brian K. Vaughan comic series, centers on six teenagers who discover that their parents are part of a secret cabal of supervillains, "lives in the same world" as all the other Marvel properties, Loeb said, from the movies to the Netflix shows. "How it's connected and where it's connected and what it's connected to remains to be seen. Right now what we're trying to do is tell the great story that Josh [Schwartz, Chuck and The O.C.] and Stephanie [Savage, The O.C.] have grafted that's based an award-winning series by Brian K. Vaughan, who's also on board. It has an amazing cast and that's where it fits in."
Specifically though, the comic takes place in Los Angeles and a recurring joke is the fact that none of the Avengers, who are based on the east coast, aren't able to help out. Will that theme play into the Hulu series?
"I think the show much more lives in a world where if you're a teenager -- and everything's connected by social media and everything's connected in a certain way -- would you be following Iron Man or would you be following someone who was more your age? So the fact that they found each other and are going through this mystery together, it becomes the moment that they're concerned about and not what Captain America is doing on a Friday."
