Confession: I am a sucker for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I don't have concrete plans to see Spider-Man: Homecoming right away but I know it's in my future—I've been on the Avengers bandwagon from the start—and I've binged through every Marvel series created on Netflix except for Ironfist, which I'm saving for a TV stream lull since it was generally panned by critics (and the premise is the least intriguing of them all, IMO). I'm also a fan of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. on ABC, and spent the past 10 days getting caught up on it after Netflix added the fourth and latest season to its streaming library.

So yeah, I'm intrigued by Marvel's Inhumans, which was originally slated to be produced as a film before it was removed from Marvel Studios' release schedule last spring; later that fall, it was announced that Inhumans would indeed be happening, but as a TV series that would be partly filmed on IMAX digital cameras. It's slated to be the first live-action television series to debut on IMAX screens, and it opens on September 1, running for two weeks before its premiere on ABC on September 29; there will be eight episodes. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is set to return with its fifth season in January of 2018; some spoilers on who you won't see re-appearing here.

As far as Marvel's Inhumans, it's centered around Black Bolt (Anson Mount of Hell on Wheels fame) and other members of the Inhuman Royal Family who are forced to flee from their home city—Atillan, located on the moon—to Hawaii to save themselves (and the world) after a military coup against the Inhuman kingdom. Iwan Rheon, who played notoriously evil Game of Thrones villain Ramsay Bolton, returns to play a supervillain this show around: Maximus, brother to Black Bolt and desiring to take his place as leader and king. Watch the actual trailer (and not the prick tease that was dropped a few weeks back) below.
