With the success of the cosmically-similar “Guardians of the Galaxy” – which has snared $320 million in around ten days! – Marvel is now actively developing a feature based on another spacely comic series “Inhumans”.
This is the project Vin Diesel hinted – via a cryptic Facebook post – he might be involved in, over the weekend.
According to Collider, “Inhumans” is as good as a go, with Joe Robert Cole on screenplay duty.
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.
So who’s the best choice for The Inhumans? Briefly, the Inhumans were created by alien experiments on primitive homo-sapiens. The alien race behind the experiments, the Kree, abandoned their work and the Inhumans went on to form a society of their own, which is led by the king Black Bolt and his family Medusa, Karnak, Gorgon, Triton, Crystal, Maximus the Mad, and the canine Lockjaw.
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.
It’s suggested that the project is on Marvel’s agenda for a 2017 or 2018 release.
