Marvel's Inhumans Starts Production, First On-Set Pictures Revealed

The upcoming Marvel show The Inhumans is currently shooting in Hawaii, and the first pictures have leaked from the set. They show Anson Mount as Black Bolt, plus a big blue plastic dog, which will presumably be turned into the giant teleporting canine Lockjaw in post-production. Check them out below, via Reel News Hawaii:

The full cast for The Inhumans has been announced over the past week. Mount will be joined by Serinda Swan, playing the Inhuman queen Medusa, with Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, Isabelle Cornish as Crystal, Mike Moh as Triton, and Sonya Balmores as Auran.

The first season of The Inhumans will comprise 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, Netflix's Marvel show that arrives this 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. In addition, the story of the genetically created superhero race has already been explored on TV in Agents of SHIELD.

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.
