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. As Adam explained in his recent editorial, directors are brought on board to execute a specific vision.
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.
Our sources tell us that this movie is part of Marvel not only expanding its list of properties, but actively building a multiple-film cosmic universe.
To be clear, we don’t know the details about this script, and we don’t know the directors the studio has on its wish list. What we know is that Marvel is ready to move forward on The Inhumans, and we’re hearing it will take one of the dates on their current schedule.

Great news, Inhumans is a interesting and mature HQ, if Marvel does this right will reach the same success of Guardians of the Galaxy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this gives weight to rumors that Skye (in AoS) is an inhuman
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've heard of the Inhumans, I think it'd be an interesting movie to see.
ReplyDeleteWonder how they would deal with Blackbolt, given that he can't speak. Then again, I suppose if they have Groot in a movie they could have Blackbolt.
ReplyDeleteHave no idea what Inhumans are but as one of the very few who was disappointed by Guardians I hope it is better then that flick.
ReplyDeleteThe name sounds cool though lol.
