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.

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.
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.
