For fans of the Inhumans, LEGO, and video games – Lego finally released a trailer for the Royal Family in Lego Marvel 2. We saw some game play of Lockjaw a few months back, but now we get to see Medusa, Crystal, Triton, and Gorgon in action as well! See the trailer below!
It's gonna take an inhuman amount of power to stop Kang from conquering the world. Luckily we have a whole family! #LEGOMarvel2 pic.twitter.com/TwJf1RtRLE

Lots of news has been rolling in this evening for Marvel’s Inhumans, most of it EXTREMELY positive. There’s much to discuss, but in the meantime, enjoy the trailer that dropped after the panel was over (and for those worried about Medusa’s hair – looks like there’s no need to fear):
The first two episode of Inhumans will premiere Sept. 1 in IMAX theaters, followed by their broadcast debut Friday, Sept. 29, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
More set photos for Marvel’s “The Inhumans” continue to leak online. Today Hawaii 808 posted some photos on Twitter of Isabelle Cornish’s Crystal and Lockjaw at Hawaii’s State Capitol building. This could possibly confirm that the set photos of Anson Mount from earlier in the week are indeed Black Bolt searching for a wandering Crystal (take that with a huge grain of salt).
Marvel’s “The Inhumans” will premiering in IMAX theatres on September 1st with the rest of the series premiering later in the month. The show stars Anson Mount as Black Bolt, Iwan Rheon as Maximus, Serinda Swan as Medusa, Ken Leung as Karnak, Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, Isabelle Cornish as Crystal, Mike Moh as Triton, Sonya Balmores as Auran, and Ellen Woglom as an undisclosed character.

Marvel’s “The Inhumans” has finally starting filming and today set photos showing Lockjaw and Anson Mount as Black Bolt have surfaced thanks to @ReelNewsHawaii on Twitter. According to Reel News Hawaii the filming took place in downtown Honolulu. More pictures posted below.
The first two episodes of Marvel’s the Inhumans is set to release in Theatres on September 1st with the rest of the series set to premiere on ABC later in the month. The show stars Anson Mount as Black Bolt, Iwan Rheon as Maximus, Serinda Swan as Medusa, Ken Leung as Karnak, Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, Isabelle Cornish as Crystal, Mike Moh as Triton, Sonya Balmores as Auran, and Ellen Woglom as an undisclosed character.
Today Marvel Entertainment announced actor Iwan Rheon (Ramsey Bolton in “Game of Thrones”) is set to play the “key role” of Maximus the Mad in “Marvel’s Inhumans”. For those not familiar with the Inhuman Royal Family (though I am pretty sure most of you are at this point), Maximus is Black Bolt’s brother. Black Bolt’s rather unbalanced (to put it nicely) brother. His greatest hits include stealing the throne from Black Bolt on several occasions, sewing chaos throughout Inhuman society and being absolutely delightful while doing it.
Marvel couldn’t have cast a better actor for the role. We’re pretty sure that Iwan Rheon is going to turn Maximus into one of Marvel’s most beloved villains. For those wanting to become more familiar with Maximus read Charles Soule’s Uncanny Inhumans to see Maximus at his best. You will understand why we are excited for this announcement!
In other news (to be taken with a HUGE grain of salt), some tweets from Eliana Jones over on Twitter could possibly confirm her role as Crystal in “Marvel’s Inhumans”. It’s also a bit telling that she is following the Marvel’s Inhumans Twitter account. Hopefully we will get official confirmation of who the remaining cast members will be later this week.
A couple of videos have popped up over on YouTube showing upcoming characters and their game play for Netmarbles Marvel Future Fight. So far it looks as if Maximus, Crystal, Gorgon, Karnak, Inferno, and Moon Girl (& Devil Dinosaur!) are being added to the game. It also looks like there are new costumes for Ms. Marvel, Black Bolt, and Elsa Bloodstone being added as well. No official announcement yet on when it goes live in the US (that I have been able to find), but hopefully we will have more information soon.
Seeing my favorite Inhumans added to the game has definitely given me incentive to go back.
The first video shows primarily Crystal, Moon Girl, and Maximus in action. The second adds Inferno, Karnak and Gorgon to the mix.
After a dry spell on news about Marvel’s The Inhumans, due to air this September, there has been another flurry of information about the show. Recently, ThatHashTagShow.com received a tip about a casting call for the series. It’s pretty clear that Marvel tried to disguise who each character was supposed to be by giving them names such as “Marty” and “Broderick”, but this list confirms that all our favorite Royals are set to be cast in the main series. No word yet if Lockjaw, the Royals’ teleporting dog, is set to appear in the series.
Something interesting to note: For a majority of the roles, they are looking for actors and actresses between the ages of 30-40, with the exception of Crystal, who they want someone 18-25 for. For anyone who was wondering about the age difference between the two sisters, this pretty much confirms that it’s going to be at least 5-10 years.
There has been very little information released since ABC announced that The Inhumans will be coming to the network this fall. So far all we know is that the first two episodes are set to be released in IMAX theaters September 4, 2017 with the rest of the episode set to air on ABC on September 26th. We’ve also learned that Iron Fist show runner Scott Buck will also be the show runner for The Inhumans.
But now it looks as if the possible production date has been revealed!

Marvel has yet to confirm if this truly is the case, so please take this information with a grain of salt. It’s interesting to see the filming locations – many seem to be surprised that it’s not taking place in Atlanta, GA where many of the movies are filmed. However, Marvel Television does most of it’s filming in LA or New York, so it’s really not much of a surprise.
Now if only we could get some sort of casting announcement.
Today Marvel announced via Screenrant that a new Inhuman one shot – Inhumans Prime – is to be released this Spring. Written by Al Ewing and with art by Ryan Sook, the issue will take place after the events of IvX and will be a launch pad for the three new Inhumans titles announced last month – Royals, Black Bolt, and Secret Warriors.
In an interview with Marvel editors Wil Moss and Charles Beechum, we got quite a bit more insight as to what’s in store for the Inhumans during RessurXion. Charles Beechum states “It’s really what sets the landscape for the Inhumans Universe going forward. So this Inhumans Prime one shot is setting up that story and showing where the Royals are and what’s happening for them as they decide to go off on this adventure: where these other Inhumans are; why they have this need to form this team together. Kind of sets up Black Bolt‘s new status quo and teases where we’re going to find him when his book starts. Just setting the landscape, laying the groundwork for what things are going to look like in April and May and going forward.”
Aside from some insight as to what is in store for the Royal Family and Nuhumans alike, the article also contains some pretty great character concept art by Royals artist Jonboy Meyers (such as this one of Crystal):
You’ll want to visit ScreenRant for the entire interview, but it’s pretty clear that this issue is probably going to be a Must Read for any Inhumans fan. Make sure you pre-order a copy at your LCS!
After tonight’s Winter Finale of Agents SHIELD we were teased with a preview for the upcoming arc and an announcement that SHIELD‘s own Natalia Cordova-Buckly, who plays Elena “Yoyo” Rodriguez, will be getting her own 6 part mini series starting December 13th. The series, titled Slingshot, will stream from ABC’s website and will take place between seasons 3 and 4 of Agents of SHIELD.
Yoyo Rodriguez was introduced at the beginning of Season 3 of Agents of SHIELD and immediately established herself as a fan favorite with her no-nonsense attitude and unique power set. Able to run at top speeds and then “slingshot” back to where she started, Yoyo has proven herself to be indispensable to the team and has saved their asses on more than one occasion.
You can find more information on ABC’s Slingshot on the link provided above. If you need more Yoyo Rodriguez in your life after binging this mini-series, you can find her on ABC’s Agents of SHIELD Tuesday nights at 10p.m. Eastern time. You won’t be disappointed.
