An Inhumans movie is set to occur in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In October of 2014, when Marvel Studios announced its five year plan to see out Phase 3 of the franchise, an instalment simply entitled “Inhumans” was confirmed for 2019 (it will be the final movie in the third phase).

Of course, the Inhumans have already been introduced to the franchise – as key characters in the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – with Phil Coulson’s team of agents inadvertently coming into conflict with a group of them who are based in a remote location known as Afterlife.

The movie, however, will introduce the big guns from the comic books – the likes of Black Bolt, Medusa, Karnak and Gorgon – and will see the race play a much bigger part in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a whole.

But who will they be facing off against? This article will take a look at five potential villains who would be great to see in the Inhumans movie.

 

Zemu

Zemu (sometimes spelled Xemu) is hardly a well-known villain – or one that is regularly utilised in the comic books – but his history with the Inhumans is undoubtedly interesting enough to justify bringing him to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

First appearing in 1962 and the Prime Minister of the Fifth Dimension, Zemu is classically a Fantastic Four villain, but he was introduced in the Strange Tales comics and his most prominent storyline involves the Inhumans, so he should be usable by Marvel Studios.

He crossed over into Earth’s dimension in order to attempt to take over the planet – starting with Atillan, the Inhumans’ home country.

Not only would he represent a great way for the Inhumans to introduce themselves to the movies (in defeating him they would be saving the entire Earth from a global threat), but he would also represent the first transdimensional villain – opening up all kinds of new possibilities for Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 4.
