The Marvel Report had a chance to sit down with the cast of Marvel’s Runaways at New York Comic Con to talk about Season 2. Read on for highlights from our interviews with Rhenzy Feliz (Alex Wilder) and Gregg Sulkin (Chase Stein) and check out the videos for the full interviews.
Rhenzy Feliz (Alex Wilder)
Alex Wilder played by Rhenzy Feliz starts out as a loner in Season 1 before uniting that team. However, Feliz tells us Alex finds himself isolated once again in Season 2.
“In Season Two he’s hanging out a bit more around Darius. In a way the group sort of starts giving him these elbows, kind of pushing him down, not making him feel great. And so naturally he sort of finds his own way and in doing so finds out more about himself.”
