Marvel’s Inhumans Are Coming In New TV Show!

First there was going to be a movie. Then the Inhumans started arriving on Agents Of Shield. Then the movie dropped off Marvel’s film schedule… Now it seems Inhumans will be appearing again, but this time on their own tv show!

Marvel have announced Marvel’s The Inhumans, a tv show based around Black Bolt, ruler of the Inhumans, and the Inhuman Royal Family. Although this means we’re unlikely to see a film version of the characters (although they will still be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, same as Agent Carter and Agents Of Shield), they have done a deal which will see the first 2 episodes airing in IMAX cinemas for 2 weeks from September 2017.

“This unprecedented alliance represents a bold, innovative approach to launching great TV content for a worldwide audience,” said Ben Sherwood, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney|ABC Television Group. “It highlights Disney|ABC’s unrelenting commitment to finding new and creative ways to showcasing our very best programming and increasing global engagement and reach.”

The Inhumans first introduced in Marvel Comics by comic book legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965. The leader Black Bolt is an interesting character. Along with the usual Superhuman power, flight, etc…, his distinguishing feature is his voice. Just speaking can cause a “destructive shockwave capable of leveling a city”… That means that he generally doesn’t speak for fear of obliterating whomever is in front of him, and communicates using sign language or via spokesperson. Vin Diesel had been ‘vocal’ in taking on the non-vocal role of Black Bolt when an Inhumans movie was on the cards, but I suspect he has less desire to be tied to a long term contract on a tv series.

Inhumans have already appeared on TV in Agents Of Shield after a number of characters were exposed to the transforming ‘Terrigen Mists’, including Skype/Daisy/Quake/whatever she’s called this week.

Marvel’s The Inhumans won’t be arriving on screens until Autumn 2017, and obviously there’s no news of a UK pick up yet, as it was only announced yesterday. For those of you wanting to catch up with Inhumans on Agents Of Shield, that show should be returning in early 2017.
