Marvel's The Inhuman TV Show Casts Black Bolt

Anson Mount will star in the upcoming Marvel series.

The upcoming Marvel show The Inhumans has found its lead actor. It has been confirmed that Hell on Wheels star Anson Mount will head up the superhero team-up series, which premieres in September.

As reported by Deadline, Mount will play Black Bolt, the hypersonically-voiced leader of the Inhumans. Mount--who is best known for the now-concluded ABC drama Hell on Wheels--is the show's second actor to be cast, following Iwan Rheon (Game of Thrones) who will play Black Bolt’s brother, Maximus.

The first season of The Inhumans will comprise of eight episodes, and the show premieres on ABC in September 2017. It is a co-production with IMAX, and the first two episodes will get a worldwide release in IMAX theaters.

The show is being overseen by Scott Buck, who is also showrunner on Iron Fist, the Netflix Marvel show that arrives next month. The Inhumans is one of several new Marvel shows in the works. Runaways and Cloak & Dagger are both in production, while the currently untitled X-Men spinoff is a co-production between Marvel TV and Fox.

An Inhumans movie was first announced in 2014, but no longer appears on Marvel's schedule. The announcement was before Spider-Man: Homecoming and Ant-Man and The Wasp had been added to the studio's lineup. In addition, the story of the genetically created superhero race has already been explored on TV in Agents of SHIELD.

Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige insisted last year that an Inhumans movie would still happen. Although The Hollywood Reporter stated in November that the TV show does not "replace" the movie, it seems unlikely that it will happen any time soon.

The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in a 1965 issue of Fantastic Four. Their first self-titled comic line ran from 1975 to 1977, and they have subsequently appeared in a variety of limited and ongoing series over the past four decades.

Cool. Hope this is better than Agents. Also, Hell On Wheels was on AMC, not ABC.

There may never be a good Fantastic Four movie or TV series, but I'm looking forward to how they handle the Inhumans.

Disney/Marvel are the ones down playing mutants in the MU, not promoting mutant related stuff, not making toys of them, having no mutants in MvsC4.

Fox are just doing what the contract allows them to do.

I really was hoping for this to be a film, but I guess if the only way I get to see them is through a TV show... sure, as long as the quality is good... would've preferred Netflix for it, since the Marvel shows on there are considerably higher quality than Agents of Shield... then again I've not watched it since the first season, so maybe it got better?

Season 1 of SHIELD is actually my favorite.  It started going downhill from there.  The good thing about making the Inhumans a series is that it gives more room for character development when considering the large cast of characters according to the comics.

And with Fox having the rights, they are effing up both the X-men and the FF.  And Disney has no film rights to use "mutants."
