Hi.
I'm Stephanie Savage.
I'm Josh Schwartz, and we are the showrunners
of Marvel's Runaways.
Season 3 is the biggest season we've done yet,
and we really have fully embraced the fact
that this is a comic book show.
And our characters are Super Heroes.
We started it out kind of telling a more grounded story
of these Brentwood kids who are discovering some strange things
about their parents.
In season 3, we have alien body snatchers.
We have Morgan le Fay trapped in the dark dimension.
We've got magic.
And so the kids come in wanting
to find their missing runaways and get them home safely.
At the same time, they are discovering-- the audience is--
that there's an additional alien,
a fourth alien, who may have jumped
into one of their bodies.
We also very early on introduce Morgan le Fay
as this character who is speaking to Nico in some way
that she can't quite explain, but she's
a woman of incredible power, incredible charisma,
and definitely trying to tempt Nico over to the dark side.
What would you like Nico?
I'm here for you.
Well, we arrived at Elizabeth.
It was pretty easy.
We needed somebody regal and powerful and commanding
and kick-ass and-- - British.
--funny.
Wouldn't be--
British also good, British also good, and she
just fit the bill perfectly.
When we spoke to her, she couldn't
have been more excited, and she's having a blast.
And I think you can tell onscreen.
You're not scared for me.
You're scared of me.
Well, Nico and Karolina's relationship
has always been a core of the show.
But I think this year, it really comes to the fore
and really gets tested in a way that we
haven't quite seen before.
This is really-- this season is very much a story of dark
versus light, and, you know, obviously, Karolina embraces
the light and is the light.
And Nico is going darker than ever before, and who
will win in that struggle?
Chase, when he last saw the runaways, was on the outs.
He betrayed the runaways.
He had gone back.
He had joined PRIDE.
He had inadvertently led PRIDE to the runaways
where they were captured, so he is
going to have a lot of making up to do for his deeds,
especially with Gert.
And if he thinks Gert is just going
to ever accept him again with open arms,
he's got another thing coming.
Also, one of our biggest stories this year,
the Cloak and Dagger crossover comes from the comic.
JOSH SCHWARTZ: Boom.
True that.
Who are you?
And what the hell have you done?
Well, I mean, it's something that we wanted
to do for a couple of years because of the comic book
but also this idea of like these young Super
Heroes in the Marvel Universe.
You just feel like they need to partner up.
No, they don't have any idea that there's other kids
with powers out there.
So it's not just that they're in our world.
They're really integrated in the story
that we're telling, in the action,
in the character development, and in kind of like the premise
of both of the shows is connected in a way
that I think will surprise people.
Who are you?
Xavin?

It's really fun this year.
We go deeper into the alien powers.
We haven't really seen what aliens inside humans
can fully do, and we're about to see that.
They have some tricks up their sleeves.
JOSH SCHWARTZ: We have a whole action
sequence at Gail Yorkes' cabin, set to fishes
bouncing around the room.
Might be the first Marvel fish action
scene that's been done before so we're breaking new ground here.
And then the biggest thing is just when our sorceresses come
to town, that we are seeing a whole new kind of magic
that we've never seen on the show before.
This year is bigger, wilder, and, at the same time, darker,
and there's going to be some real consequences this year.
Not everyone's going to survive the season.
And that was a special chat with the showrunners
from Marvel's Runaways, season 3, coming soon.
Very nice to pick their brains and see where all
these awesome ideas come from.
Oh, my gosh, give me Morgan le Fay or give me death.
If you get her, you get death, so, maybe.
