Brian K. Vaughan to Write 'Runaways' Movie

Sometimes I feel I've got to run away.

Big name superheroes like The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America and The Avengers aren't the only Marvel properties hitting the big screen.

The lesser known characters are getting their crack at film stardom, including the ragtag group of young heroes known as the Runaways.

Created in 2002 by Brian K. Vaughan as part of Marvel's Tsunami line, Runaways follows a group of kids who discover their parents are evil supervillains. Vaughn, who left the series at the conclusion of the second volume, will return to the property he co-created and write the script for the upcoming movie.

No director is currently attached to the film, but maybe they'll hire Richard Donner and the movie will be like a super-powered version of The Goonies.
