Will The INHUMANS Look Like This In The Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Marvel has confirmed to ComicBook that the new Inhumans cover for their 50th anniversary indeed links them to the Agents of Shield series. Meaning, these character designs could influence their look in their film which is due-out on November 2nd, 2019.

I assume their first appearances could be in Guardians of The Galaxy 2 or Avengers: Infinity War Part 1. There has been chatter that the new characters will have introductions in eariler films, and since their connections to the Kree could have them expanded to the cosmic focused films. I'm digging the designs, which obviously look like they would fit nicely into the cosmic side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This has a Guardians/Thor vibe to it which could mean the in-house studio artists might have their fingerprints all over this cover artwork. The film is said to be a mix of X-Men meets Game of Thrones, with galactic families fighting for a galactic throne.

Marvel Pitching INHUMANS Script To Potential Filmmakers?

According to Collider, it seems like The Inhumans are apart of Marvel's next exploration of their expanding cosmic universe. The studio has a script by Joe Robert Cole, who is apart of Marvel's screenwriting program (Guardians' co-writer Nicole Perlman was also apart of that program). The situation sounds very similar to when Guardians landed in the lap of James Gunn, after the script was developed in-house at Marvel. Also, Doctor Strange went-out to filmmakers before Scott Derrickson was announced as it's director, and Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) was hired to do a page-one rewrite of the script. We could see another complete overhaul on the existing material. Apparently, the film/script is going out to filmmakers and might need a strong visionary to further develop it.

We previously heard that Marvel was developing the property for a feature-film, but a writer was never named. The last word was, Inhumans was one of three candidates competing for a release spot (Guardians and Black Panther being the other two), which Guardians of The Galaxy would ultimately get. The project was being described as Game of Thrones meets X-Men, as superpowered royal families fight over galactic thrones. Inhumans is such an interesting property, as we've heard this could be a way Marvel is able to develop their own type of "mutants" (owned by Fox) within the MCU.

Recently, Vin Diesel teased fans that he could be "Inhuman" for Marvel. This could be another misdirection by Diesel, or a way to push his own agenda to gain another role at Marvel. Many believe this might mean we might see Vin as the voice of Groot and the body of king of the Inhumans, Black Bolt. Black Bolt's voice is beyond destructive, which means he doesn't speak and would allow Diesel to play two roles within the cosmic universe.

We were a bit shocked that Marvel rushed to announce a sequel to Guardians of The Galaxy at Comic-Con, but since it's critical/box office success the move seems right. Moving forward with even more films set in the budding side-universe would be a way to develop that. Other cosmic projects that have been rumored include Captain Marvel, Nova, and Adam Warlock. The Inhumans, being a team-based film sounds like a solid prospect for the studio.

Could we see another creative/unexpected voice like Gunn spearheading our cinematic introduction to The Inhumans? I'd love to see someone unique like Ben Wheatly (A Field In England, Sightseers, High-Rise, Kill List), who I've been dying to see show-up on one of Marvel's director wish-lists. Given that Marvel went with someone a bit more rebellious like Gunn, someone like Ben (known for bizarre/dramatic projects) might be another winning combo. Ben is currently shooting his thriller High-Rise with Loki himself Tom Hiddleston, and has recently directed an episode of Doctor Who. He also wrote his darker films A Field In England and Kill List.

Kevin Feige Confirms Lineup For 'GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY'

During some Avengers press Marvel's Kevin Feige spoke to Crave giving a slight update on The Guardians of The Galaxy. The studio's first large scale film exploring the cosmic-universe recently became yet another project in the works. Kevin during the interview gives an impression of what the Guardians lineup will look like which includes Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Groot and Rocket Racoon. While the newest incarnation of the team also has Adam Warlock and Nova among the ranks those characters are likely to get their own films or will be saved for sequels. However, they very well could end up in the final roster. As it looks now the project could end up one of the releases in 2015 or even later down the line.




QUESTION: When asked about which non-sequel projects Marvel Studios was prioritizing at the moment, Feige said, "I think whether it's Ant-Man, or Dr. Strange, or The Inhumans, or The Guardians of the Galaxy..." To which we eagerly cried, "Rocket Racooooon...!" 


FEIGE: "We are very excited about bringing things like that, maybe things exactly like that, to the screen. [...] When you tell people, you know what would be really cool? This movie, and there's a raccoon, and there's a tree... And they go, 'What?' And people like you know what it is, and get excited. And the majority of people go, 'Did you say a raccoon and a tree?' 'Oh yeah, they're going to steal the whole movie. They're hilarious.' 'Okay, I'll believe it when I see it.' I like that." 


QUESTION: When asked to confirm that an upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie would be focused on the new team, as opposed to the original team, created in 1969 which had their own well-received series from Jim Valentino in the 1990s, he clarified: 


FEIGE: "Yeah. It's more Star-Lord and Drax and Gamora, and less Vance Astro and that team." 

Joss Whedon Explains Why Skrulls Won't Be In Avengers

We've been hearing from both Marvel's Kevin Feige and writer/director Joss Whedon Loki's army wouldn't be made up of Skrulls or Kree. The Skrulls had been rumored since the beginning but never really confirmed. Joss has finally put the nail in the Skrull/Avengers rumor's coffin. As Whedon states to EW he had so much to juggle with the different aspects of the heroes and Loki he couldn't throw in shape-shifting aliens into the mix. He also gives the impression that the Skrull and Kree are too large in mythology and scope to be used as filler in an Avengers film.

"I will say only this: It is not the Kree or the Skrulls. Those two aliens are Marvel mainstays and have enormous backstories. They have a big life of their own that just could not be contained in a film where I already had seven movie stars."


"The Skrulls — they can shape change. That’s a whole thing. I’ve already got Loki. He’s got magic. Once you got magic along with your Iron Man and your Black Widow — it’s a real juggling act."

Considering Whedon has already stated the Avengers sequel would be smaller in scale ruling out the Skrull/Kree war on Earth. This leads me to believe that Marvel might end up saving the alien races for Guardians of The Galaxy or The Inhumans. These two projects are set in Marvel's cosmic universe which would allow the Skrulls and Kree to be introduced. The cosmic side of Marvel is so large that it could end up a new Marvel cinematic universe of it's own. Equally as large as say Star Wars or Star Trek, giving audiences a full on science fiction adventure experience that wouldn't be hindered by using Earth as a plot-device. Both films are also largely team based which could be Marvel/Disney's answer to the X-Men.
