‘The Inhumans’ won’t become the next Marvel movie franchise but instead will land on ABC as a new TV series…
Marvel has another TV show headed to ABC as ‘The Inhumans’ is expected to debut next fall.
‘The Inhumans’ was originally set up as a new part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after a film was announced with a release date in 2018. That date was later shifted to 2019 once Marvel put ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ on the release list instead and then eventually ‘The Inhumans’ was shelved all together.
Now a new project centered around ‘The Inhumans’ will come alive as an eight episode series on ABC with the first two episodes set to debut in IMAX theaters in September 2017 before later airing on television.
According to several reports, ‘The Inhumans’ series will not be the same franchise that was originally supposed to be a film for Marvel, nor will it be a spinoff of ‘Agents of SHIELD’, which has spent a big part of the last two seasons developing Inhumans as part of the show.
The series is expected to revolve around Black Bolt — the leader of the Inhumans, who possesses physical gifts as a result of Terrigenesis but he’s mostly known for having quasi-sonic voice that can literally level an entire city if he utters just a few sounds. Black Bolt leads a group of powerful Inhumans known as ‘The Royal Family’, who are expected to be the center of the story when the show debuts next year.
‘The Inhumans’ were originally teased for the Marvel film universe as an answer to mutants because the ‘X-Men’ franchise and even the word ‘mutants’ is owned by 21st Century FOX.
While there’s no word on whether or not ‘The Inhumans’ could eventually play a part in the Marvel movie world, the characters will now become part of the Marvel TV empire joining shows such as ‘Agents of SHIELD’ on ABC with more series like ‘Daredevil’, ‘Jessica Jones’, and ‘Luke Cage’ on Netflix.
‘The Inhumans’ will debut in the fall of 2017 on ABC.
