The removal of Runaways raises questions about its status within the MCU canon, given its lack of direct crossover with other MCU projects. Fans speculate whether the removal signifies a potential reboot under Marvel Studios, opening doors for the team to be reintroduced through a movie or a new series. Despite the unresolved cliffhanger at the end of the show, the likelihood of its return remains uncertain. However, one of the Runaways members, Nico Minoru, has been confirmed to appear in the Spider-Man: Freshman Year animated series, offering a glimmer of hope for fans.
