Despite Marvel apparently shelving plans to bring the Inhumans to the big screen, it turns out they are in fact heading to cinemas…sort of.  

Plans are afoot to buck their own conventions and release the Inhumans as a television series…after the premiere has played for two weeks on IMAX screens.

In a press release, Ben Sherwood, co-chairman, Disney Media Networks and president, Disney-ABC Television Group, offered: “This unprecedented alliance represents a bold, innovative approach to launching great TV content for a worldwide audience. It highlights Disney-ABC’s unrelenting commitment to finding new and creative ways to showcasing our best programming and increasing global engagement and reach.” 

The idea is that the first two episodes will premiere on IMAX screens and then, two weeks later, on television with footage not seen in the theatrical release.

Speaking of television, the Inhumans have become a significant part of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., having been introduced in full force last season (in fact the rumour, which has been denied by Kevin Feige, was their presence in S.H.I.E.L.D had put pay to their big screen debut). At the same time, The Inhumans series is not intended to be a spin-off from S.H.I.E.LD. 

Created in 1965 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Inhumans are described by Marvel as “a race of superhumans with diverse and singularly unique powers.” 

The protagonist for the TV Series will be the character of Black Bolt and the royal family. He is the ruler of his people, which consists of a race of genetically altered superhumans. The Inhumans joins an ever-growing roster of Marvel live action series, including S.H.I.E.L.D., Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, as well as the forthcoming Iron Fist, The Defenders, Legion and The Runaways.  

Inhumans is set to air on ABC in the US in September 2017.
