Marvel's Inhumans started out as a movie, but it's evolved into a television series. Unlike other small screen ventures, a significant portion of the eight-episode series has been filmed using IMAX digital cameras. The first two episodes are set to debut on IMAX screens on September 1, 2017. Screenings will continue for two weeks, and the series will air on ABC beginning on September 29.
Showrunner Scott Buck recently told Empire that the theatrical release will draw attention to Inhumans:
It gives us a massive, dramatic opening. It allows us to think bigger, to use visuals you don't normally get on your television screen. We wanted [it to be] strikingly beautiful and unusual.
While Buck and his team have tried to create a visually "unusual" experience, he doesn't feel that there's anything unusual about the characters beyond their superpowers:
There will be plenty of humour and fantastic elements, but we're dealing with relatable people in a moment of great crisis: a royal family forced into the position of refugees. They just happen to have superpowers.
The outlet also released a new photo of Inhumans King Black Bolt (Anson Mount) and his cunning brother, Maximus the Mad (Iwan Rheon). The brothers seem to be engaging in a heated staredown, and it appears that the ruler of Attilan is in a more aggressive mood. Check it out below!
We came across the first official trailer for Inhumans a couple of weeks ago, and to be honest, it didn't live up to expectations. Numerous fans expressed their disappointment by “disliking” the trailer on YouTube. Dislikes totaled nearly 37,000, including those given to separate uploads by Marvel, ABC, and IMAX. Likes totaled around 71,600. This is extremely rare for a Marvel/DC television show. But maybe we’ll have a change of heart when we see more footage.
