Keke Palmer offered a role in Marvel Comics' Runaways


Possibly, one of Hollywood's future best actress, Keke Palmer may be in Marvel's next project, Runaways.
Here's the scoop, Keke dropped in Essence Magazine:
I’ve had a nice little break with the steady TV show but I’m definitely ready to do some more films again. I was just asked to join a new Marvel comic project called, “Runaways.”
We have no confirmation from the studio, but there is no reason to believe that Palmer would just make this up. Keke is a 17-year old Illinois-born actress/singer probably best known for the television series True Jackson VP, but she also appeared as Akeelah in Akeelah and the Bee, and was recently in the direct to dvd sequel Bring It On: Fight to the Finish

I hope this is true, I think Keke is a good actress. And it would great to see her in an action role.

Vic, do you have any idea who she will be? I'm assuming she may be Xavin, but I think that would be too soon for a first movie. I wonder if they'll have her play the Asian girl. Have you read Runaways?

I have no idea, but I'm excited. I have read a few of the comics. I think they are okay

@Mecha-Agreed. I love the idea of a strong black female magic wielding lead. I really do! But I don't want them blackwashing asian characters any more than I want them whitewashing them.

Vic, they should just make her, "I am Number 5" and I would be REALLY happy! LOL!
