The Marvel's Runaways cast dishes on Marvel's Runaways season 2. We caught up with them at New York Comic Con 2018 Heroes After Dark and at their NYCC 2018 panel. Actors James Yaegashi, Angel Parker, and Ryan Sands play the evil parents of the Marvel's Runaways cast in the show. However, it's nuanced issue as each of these actors explain how, even in Marvel's Runaways season 2, their characters still believe they are doing what's best for their children. Angel Parker plays Catherine Wilder on the show and explains how she read all of the Marvel's Runaways comics to prepare for the role. She even insisted on her character having a specific trait her comic book counterpart has! The Runaways themselves, Ariela Barer, Rhenzy Feliz, Lyrica Okano, and Allegra Acosta, talk about how proud of the show they are and some twists and turns about Runaways season 2 you won't find anywhere else! What can we expect from your character in season 2? James Yaegashi: RUNAWAYS season 2. Okay, season 1, Robert is like this beta guy, who sort of like stays under the surface and is like happy sort of like letting other people doing whatever. But there’s a big bombshell that happens, you know, at the end of season one and that’s just the line that should not be crossed with a beta male and season two is all about what happens when you cross the beta male. Angel Parker: Oh man, there’s just more evil. There’s less remorse. It’s bigger, it’s such a big show and this season, RUNAWAYS season 2, they really double down. Hulu and Marvel just believe in our show and it’s bigger, it’s badder. It’s just, the special effects are greater, the storyline is beautiful. We have three more episodes and we come in on the 21st of December, so it’s really, really good. I can’t tell you anything, there are like snipers in the sky. Ryan Sands: Season two, I think we find Geoffrey at a place, where he’s really, really conflicted. I mean, he knows that he has to get his son back, he knows he wants to get rid of the Pride, but he’s really conflicted as to how he should go about it. So he’s got to get his wife on board with his plan, he’s got to keep it secret from the rest of the Pride, so it’s a really tight spot for him to be in, but it’s really fun to play. What about Alex and Darius’s relationship? Rhenzy Feliz: Right out the gate, they sort of grow towards each other, they kind of connect like magnets. And as time goes on, they become closer and so you kind of get to see that relationship play out and what that means. You know, that has ripple effects throughout with my family and Darius’s family and it’s a fun arc to kind of play. Do you find Molly relatable? Allegra Acosta: Since the moment I got this role and the moment I read the comics and kind of really dived deep into Molly’s kind of persona and character, I knew that she was a lot more like me than I thought. So from the moment I always wanted to put in just a little bit of myself in it. She’s very determined, she’s very gracious, she’s adventurous, she’s a goal getter, she’s stubborn, she’s just like me and I loved playing with that. One thing that I didn’t have, that she’s experienced is that she goes through a lot of loss throughout the season. She has a superhuman element, but the thing that made it all relatable is that we all grow up with the universal truth of growing up and not being believed in because you’re a kid. And so she fights with that to prove people that kids know what’s up and we can take on the world. What does RUNAWAYS season 2 have in store for Old Lace? Ariela Barer: She is like the therapy dog of Gert’s life, but then also I think she evolves in RUNAWAYS season 2 into kind of more of a friend and companion. Because Gert kind of get, I mean, not Gert, also Gert, but Old Lace kind of gets her own plotline this year, she definitely– Peyton: Okay, I’m excited about that. Ariela Barer: Yeah, she kind of solidifies her place as the seventh runaway, so now she’s kind of more on equal footing with everyone else and she gets to be the hero of the moment. She also gets to be rescued in some moments. So I think she’s kind of become more part of the group dynamic in a way this season. How relatable do you find Gert as a character? Ariela Barer: Almost too relatable, ’cause sometimes I’m like, oh, I do that, don’t I? Even when Gert’s doing something a little wrong, I’m like, oh, whoops.
