The Marvel’s Runaways cast will forever remember their late costar Julian McMahon.
McMahon played Jonah, an alien magistrate, on the Hulu series, which aired from 2016 to 2019. The Marvel Television show was adapted from the comic book of the same name, highlighting a group of teens in Los Angeles who run away from their respective parents when they find out about their nefarious deeds under Jonah’s leadership. Jonah is also the biological father of teen Karolina Dean (Virginia Gardner).
“The show is pretty full-on,” McMahon said during a December 2018 appearance on AOL’s Build Series. “I really enjoyed this season [2] because we shot a lot of stuff in 70 mill. It’s all digital, but 70 mill, so everything’s got this epic, kind of seismic vibe to it.”
Runaways was canceled in November 2019 after its third season. McMahon died six years later after a battle with cancer. He was 56.
“With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer,” his wife, Kelly McMahon, said in a statement shared on Friday, July 4. “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible.”
She continued, “We ask for support during this time to allow our family to grieve in privacy. And we wish for all of those to whom Julian brought joy to continue to find joy in life. We are grateful for the memories.”
In addition to Kelly, Julian is survived by 25-year-old daughter Madison, whom he shared with ex-wife Brooke Burns.
