‘Runaways’ relevance
“One hundred percent,” British actor-model Gregg Sulkin told Variety, when asked if it was important to him that his series “Runaways” mirrored present-day issues.
“It’s important, especially in the political climate we’re currently in, that people do voice their opinion,” the former “Pretty Little Liars” actor said.
In the Marvel show about teens who discover that their parents are evil, Sulkin plays smart jock Chase Stein.
The actor, 25, added: “We have a lot of diversity, which is great. It’s been a long time since Asian and African-American actors have had equal opportunity, so that’s crucial. We have a character that is a big feminist and is all about female rights, which is crucial, too.”—OLIVER PULUMBARIT
