The other day, Vin Diesel dropped a hint about being part of The Inhumans, and it turns out he wasn’t just blowing smoke. The studio is happy with the existing script by Joe Robert Cole, and now the next logical step is to take it out to filmmakers.

According to our sources, Marvel plans to handle The Inhumans in the same way they handled Guardians of the Galaxy. For those who don’t know, the original draft of Guardians was written by Nicole Perlman, who was part of Marvel’s writing program. That draft then went out to filmmakers. When James Gunn came on board, he added his flavor and details to the story, but the characters, story structure, and beats from Perlman’s draft remained in place.

Cole also came out of Marvel’s writing program, and the studio is pleased with his script, so now they’re presumably ready to take it out to filmmakers. We can also assume that since Guardians was a success, the studio is willing to bring on a director with a unique voice like Gunn. He didn’t upend the Marvel formula, but his personality flows through the picture. He was in tune with a group of oddball outsiders, and that made him the best man for the job.

Thanks to shield for informing us over at the Marvel Cinematic Universe community thread!

Marvel Moving Forward on THE INHUMANS Movie; Screenplay by Joe Robert Cole

 

[kirblar]

Agents of Shield might end up getting super important for setting this up, since this seems to be the direction they're going as well.

 

[Platy]

I wonder how they managed to fit it on the chess board

 

[BronsonLee]

I wonder how they managed to fit it on the chess board

It's probably last.

Also, there's too many mystery things on that board for one of them to not be what you want.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

 

[Nelo Ice]

So GOTG really has opened the floodgates. Now Marvel give us Black Panther and Captain Marvel

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

I wonder if Medusa is main character since black bolt can't speak.

 

[kirblar]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

Pretty much. Artificial mutation vs the natural variant in the X-Men.

 

[Aaron]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

They're replacements for mutants because Fox has the movie rights locked up.

 

[Camp Lo]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

More like Marvel's The Watchmen

 

[Sinatar]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

Marvel has been pushing them pretty hard ever since the MCU took off in attempt to have them act as a replacement for the X-Men.

Basically they are a race of genetically modified super humans, who are completely normal until exposed to 'terrigen mists' which then unlock their latent powers.

Oh and they live on the moon.

 

[ReAxion]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

Basically, yes.

 

[Sojgat]

Vin will play Lockjaw.

 

[fertygo]

Goddamn, we getting Akuma and Oni movies?

 

[anaron]

I wonder how they managed to fit it on the chess board

LOL

 

[Fare Godmace]

Please, let it be like the Jenkins/Lee graphic novel. I know it clashes with the rest of the MCU movies' tone, but a man can dream!

In any case, I can die a happy man seeing Black Bolt on the big screen

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Eh.

I don't know anything about the Inhumans. Are they like the new mutants?

all you need to know is Black Bolt is awesome.

 

[Mesoian]

So GOTG really has opened the floodgates. Now Marvel give us Black Panther and Captain Marvel

Gotta get the illuminati going somehow.

all you need to know is Black Bolt is awesome.

All you need to know is that Maximus the Mad is awesome.

10/10

 

[Sinatar]

As for the members of the Inhumans:

Black Bolt: Their leader. Has a voice that can shatter mountains, so he never speaks.
Medusa: She has magic hair. Wife of Black Bolt.
Crystal: She's captain planet, but sadly is lacking in the power of heart.
Maximus: Black Bolt's crazy brother. He's a super genius. He's also completely insane.

As for the rest...
Goat foot guy: Uh he's strong and has goat feet.
Brain tattoo man: Can intuitively figure out the weakness of anyone or anything.
Fish man: He's a fish.

 

[kirblar]

They existed before the Fox/Marvel beef happened.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Not too surprising. It's clear they want to fill the mutant void.

stoked

 

[Khezu]

All I want out of this movie is for someone to say Blackagar Boltagon out loud.

That and Medusa and her hair.

 

[anaron]

by liking the script.

it's weird how they don't manage to like any scripts that would headline a woman

 

[Abounder]

One of the article comments listed the Phase 3 films, does it sound right? And only Ant-Man for 2015? :

2015
Ant-Man
2016
Captain America 3
Doctor Strange
2017
The Inhumans
Guardians Of The Galaxy 2
Thor 3
2018
The Avengers 3

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Honestly, I could do without pseudo-mutants.

it's weird how they don't manage to like any scripts that would headline a woman

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SNAP

 

[BronsonLee]

Your agenda is noble and all, but it's starting to get real irritating.

We have no idea what they have planned. I would bank on one of them being either Black Panther or Captain Marvel. The only reason we didn't get a Black Widow movie is because they liked GOTG more.

We get it, we know what you want. We don't know what they have planned beyond Dr. Strange. I'm assuming we find out next year.

 

[Sinatar]

They existed before the Fox/Marvel beef happened.

They've existed since the 60's, but have always been in the background. They have been heavily pushed in the comics ever since the MCU went big and they realized they weren't getting x-men back.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

All I want out of this movie is for someone to say Blackagar Boltagon out loud.

That and Medusa and her hair.

it's the best name

BLACKAGAR!!!!!

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Cool. Though I know next to nothing about The Inhumans.

 

[overcast]

One of the article comments listed the Phase 3 films, does it sound right? And only Ant-Man for 2015? :

I think? Potentially no Black Panther? Mehh.

 

[plantedunicorn]

One of the article comments listed the Phase 3 films, does it sound right? And only Ant-Man for 2015? :

Avengers 2 is also 2015

 

[Gartooth]

They're going to have to sell me on this one, not much interest in the characters from what I've seen of them.

 

[Absoludacrous]

I wonder if they've marked Vin for Black Bolt, since his voice is already being used for a different character.

 

[anaron]

my agenda in wanting better representation? christ, some of you are such fucking babies about this shit. I'm fine with an inhumans film BTW but it's getting increasingly hilarious and sad that both Marvel and the stans are deflecting so much when all marvel has to do is confirm the news of a female film like they're doing right now with this one.

 

[Camp Lo]

That sounds pretty cool actually. I hope they find an awesome actor for Maximus.

 

[Mortemis]

Now that we have Black bolt, just make Black Panther and get Namor rights and get started on the illuminati. Can't have mr. fantastic or hank but just do what you can marvel.

One of the article comments listed the Phase 3 films, does it sound right? And only Ant-Man for 2015? :

Yeah, only Ant Man for phase 3 in 2015. Remember Avengers is ending phase 2 in 2015 too. No idea if that list is correct though.

 

[Az987]

I hope that giant bulldog is in it!

 

[BronsonLee]

my agenda in wanting better representation? christ, some of you are such fucking babies about this shit

Yeah, this stops now. You wanting better representation is not the issue here. You can remove that narrative.

 

[Neoxon]

Oh hell yes. Bring it on, Marvel!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

If the Vin Black Bolt rumour is true, he'll play one Marvel character who says one line with different emotions and one character with barely any lines.

 

[fallengorn]

Would be simultaneously hilarious and awesome if they use Black Bolt's full name in the movie.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Oh my god, Vin Diesel as Black Bolt. This has to happen.

 

[anaron]

Yeah, this stops now. You wanting better representation is not the issue here. You can remove that narrative.

you are delusional. What exactly do you think I'm trying to do exactly?

 

[fallengorn]

Would rather see someone else as Black Bolt. Vin can be Gorgon.

 

[enzo_gt]

Vin Diesel as a Black Bolt makes sense considering he was initially in discussion for a role that was "way off" which is probably Inhumans.

I'm indifferent on this. It could be could, but I've always found their dynamics uninteresting and their costumes are ugly for the most part.

Your agenda is throwing shade in any comic book film related thread until it happens, and is only destructive to discussion. I went over this in the last argument we had, and you just confirmed that unless it happens, you are pretty fine with continuing to be destructive to discussion.

 

[Sinatar]

I hope that giant bulldog is in it!

You can't do the Inhumans without Lockjaw.
