Inhumans

Marvel's Inhumans, or simply Inhumans, is an American television series created for ABC by Scott Buck, based on the Marvel Comics race of the same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films and other television series of the franchise. The series is a Marvel and IMAX Entertainment project, produced by ABC Studios and Marvel Television in association with Devilina Productions. Buck served as showrunner.

Plot
An isolated community of superhumans fight to protect themselves.

Main
Crystal's 2,000-pound (910 kg) teleporting canine companion Lockjaw also appears in the series, created through CGI.[17][25] Reiné stated that "nobody has done a full CG character on a TV series before. So Lockjaw is the first. It's a big responsibility for all of us."[26]Mount called Lockjaw the "goofy sidekick", but felt that he had been integrated into the plot rather than just used as comic relief.[10] Buck felt Lockjaw's storylines would "always [be] fairly simple" as a way to ensure the writers "don't try to pretend that he's anything other than" a dog and pull focus from the other characters.[27] Initial designs for Lockjaw had him bigger than his final look, closer to "the size of a Mini Cooper".[28]
 * Anson Mount as Black Bolt:  The Head of the Inhuman Royal Family and King of Attilan, whose voice can cause destruction with the slightest whisper.[3][4] Showrunner Scott Buck called Black Bolt enigmatic and fascinating because "a lot of times, we don't know what he's thinking",[5] and noted the difficulty of writing a character who "does not speak, but yet he is our hero and the center of the show". Buck specifically ruled out the series using voice over, with Black Bolt instead communicating via sign language.[5] Premiere director Roel Reiné told Mount to just use 15 or 16 signs,[6] but Mount decided to create his own sign system. He explained that since the character is not from Earth, he would not know Earth-based systems such as American Sign Language (ASL).[7] Mount borrowed the underlying rules of ASL but then "double-check[ed] my signs against ASL to make sure there is no overlap",[6] and also studied orchestra conductors.[8] Mount created a document for his language with over 50 pages,[9] and felt that if he could develop the language over several seasons, it could become a full conlang equivalent to Klingon or Dothraki.[10] Sometimes the script would not include any specific lines for the character, and Mount would develop what he was signing himself.[9] Lofton Shaw portrays a young Black Bolt.[11] Vin Diesel was previously attached to the role of Black Bolt when Inhumans was announced as a feature film.
 * Serinda Swan as Medusa:  The wife of Black Bolt and Queen of Attilan, who has the ability to control and move her hair.[12] Swan described "an immense codependence between" Medusa and Black Bolt, with Medusa helping Black Bolt create his sign language and forming a connection together that creates "this symbiosis that keeps them intertwined".[13] Swan took extra care to act alongside the character's hair as an additional appendage, before CGI was added to augment the 4 pounds (1.8 kg) wig she wore on set.[14][9] Swan said that Medusa's hair would "have moods" as in the comics, and that it would move and react differently in various situations, such as being more restrained in public so as to not be distracting to others.[14] V.I.P. portrays a young Medusa.[15]
 * Ken Leung as Karnak:  Black Bolt's cousin and closest adviser, who can "see the fault in all things", avoiding errors, and acts as the Royal Family's strategist and philosopher.[16] Executive producer Jeph Loeb explained that because of Karnak's ability, "everything he sees is flawed, so nothing is quite good enough for him. It's at the point where the glass isn't half empty, it's shattered."[9]
 * Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon: Black Bolt's cousin and leader of Attilan's Royal Guard, who can generate seismic waves with his cattle-like hooves.[17] Ikwuakor described Gorgon as "the guy who kind of acts before he thinks".[13]
 * Isabelle Cornish as Crystal:  Medusa's sister and the youngest member of the Royal Family, who has the ability to control the elements.[17] Cornish said Crystal is "really coming of age" and is going on "the journey of really coming into her adulthood and discovering more of her powers and things like that".[13] Leila Bootsma portrays a young Crystal.[18]
 * Ellen Woglom as Louise:  A human from Earth who works at Callisto Aerospace Control Center with a personal passion for space and things related to the Moon.[17][19] Woglom described Louise as "incredibly smart, incredibly focused" and a "fun", "quirky" character. She added that Louise "sort of has blinders on" about her love of space and the Moon, which "can sometimes cause her to maybe not pick up on social cues all the time, or maybe say things without thinking about them first".[20] Buck noted Woglom's character was not from the comic books, but rather created for the series.[5]
 * Iwan Rheon as Maximus:  Black Bolt's brother, who has a strong devotion to the people of Attilan and a desire to be king himself. Maximus lost the Inhuman gene when going through the Terrigenesis process,[21][22] which led to the character being looked down on by other Inhumans. Rheon said Maximus is the "runt of the family which is kind of hard for him. Without his brother he'd be working down in the mines ... because he's the King's brother, he got pity, basically."[23] Buck called Rheon's version of the character "a different, more complicated, more real, and more compelling version" than the comic counterpart as the writers "didn't want to create just a simple villain who's evil for the sake of being evil",[5] with Rheon adding that "there are no villains ... It's not black and white. It's a lot of shades to the characters." He also compared the relationship between Maximus and Black Bolt to that of Loki and Thor in the MCU films.[22] Rheon, who is Welsh, gave Maximus "an America-ish twang", but felt "it would be an incredible coincidence if everyone on the Moon had American accents" and so also kept the accent "a bit Moon-ish".[23] Aidan Fiske portrays a young Maximus.[24]
