A Comicbook Podcast
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.
So, the first full length trailer for the Inhumans tv show has dropped! Got to say, this has made be uber excited for the show in September, and since discovering there is an IMAX cinema near where I live I’m going to be booking tickets.
So let us begin… The trailer is available here
The monologue begins (as all good Inhuman monologues should) with Maximus. Describing how the Humans will find them “up here” – with an ominous shot of the moon. Which is where my first question comes. Who exactly is coming to find them? The reason I ask is because the ending of Agents of Shield where Coulson is in Space – is that a coincidence?
Either way, Maximus is claiming that the Earth is their rightful home. Committing treason and taking the earth for the Inhumans, claiming it for “freedom for all Inhumans”. What exactly does he mean?
My question at the moment is… Is Maximus as mad as he is in the comics in the tv show? Because it doesn’t appear to have been established that Maximus’ powers were affected when they were both young – something to look forward to perhaps?
I digress though, there is a lot of this where I feel that a lot of inspiration has come from the first appearance of the Inhumans in Fantastic Four #47. There appears to be a scene where Medusa is captured by Maximus, will she be sent to Earth? Is that what leads Black Bolt (and the rest of the Royal Family) to Earth?
To me, there is also a suggestion of the Genetic Council (and by extension – government) where Maximus strides up with a kill squad. Taking power over Attilan I assume?
There rest of the trailer is largely action shots, but obviously there are a few moments I loved, Gorgon cracking down on the Earth, Black Bolt’s fight scene then there was this…
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.

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.
Following a slow drip of announcements regarding the cats of this Fall’s Inhumans television show, the remainder of the cast were announced in a story initially broke by Variety. So now we’ve got the full scoop!
Anston Mount of the AMX program, ‘Hell on Wheels’ has been tapped to portray King Black Bolt.
Serinda Swan, from ‘Graceland,’ ‘Smallville,’ and ‘Tron: Legacy,’ will play his queen and wife, Madam Medusa.
Iwan Rheon of ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Misfits’ fame has been cast as Maximus the Mad.
While Ken Leung of ‘Lost’ ‘Nightshift’ and ‘Star Wars The Force Awakens’ will be portraying Karnak.
Rounding out the main cast will have Isabelle Cornish (Home and Away) as Crystal; Eme Ikwukor (Concussion) as Gorgon.
As well as Mike Moh (Empire) as Triton; and Sonya Balmores (Soul Surfer) as Auran.
Additionally, Ellen Woglom (Californication) as an undisclosed character.
Further details will be reported as soon as they are announced.
All and all, this is a great cast and a good deal better than I had hoped for! Let us know what you think. Who is your favorite among these castings?
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.
Today The Hollywood Reporter announced that Netflix “Iron Fist” Show Runner, Scott Buck, will also be the at the helm of ABC’s Inhumans Television series. The first two episodes of the show are set to premiere in IMAX Theatres the beginning of September before airing on ABC later in the month.
Given the success of “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones” and “Luke Cage”, Marvel’s “Iron Fist” is set up to follow in their footsteps. To have someone from the NetFlix side coming to work on a series meant for ABC can only be a good a thing.
It looks like 2017 is going to be a great year to be an Inhumans fan.
