At the centre of the show are two brothers in conflict - Black Bolt, the almighty king of the Inhumans (Anson Mount); and his younger brother Maximus the Mad, to be played by Game of Thrones veteran Iwan Rheon, who wants to expand the Inhumans’ influence to the people of Earth.

Serinda Swan will play the queen, Medusa, with Ken Leung to play Karnak, also a part of the Royal Family of the Inhumans, and a cousin to Black Bolt as per the comics.

Inhumans will premiere in IMAX theatres on September 1 before its official premiere on ABC on September 29, with the feature to be brought to life by an experienced team of Marvel collaborators, including executive producers Scott Buck - who previously worked on the Marvel series Iron Fist - and Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s head of television, as well as Jim Chory - who has worked on Daredevil, Jessica Jones and the upcoming Defenders series among several other Marvel shows. Roel Reine will direct the first two episodes, with Marvel Television and ABC Studios to co-produce (via Variety).
