While it was a disappointment to see Marvel’s Inhumans unceremoniously removed from the Marvel movie lineup, that doesn’t mean that the upcoming ABC TV show won’t be getting a bit of the cinematic treatment.
The first two episodes of the show have been filmed entirely on IMAX cameras, and will debut in IMAX theaters ahead of the show’s premiere on ABC, and showrunner Scott Buck has been about chatting to this to Entertainment Weekly, and whether the first two episodes feel like a movie.
“Yes, I would say the first two episodes do, because it gave us a lot more freedom and pushed and encouraged us to think a little bit bigger than we would if it was just a normal network show. We just wanted to think bigger in terms of scope, and what we were seeing, and how we bring these characters to the audience. Hopefully just to get people really excited. I think it’s something that absolutely stands on its own, but hopefully it’ll intrigue people enough to make them want to watch the rest of the show.”

Marvel’s Inhumans explores the never-before-told epic adventure of the royal family including Black Bolt, the enigmatic, commanding King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the slightest whisper can destroy a city. After the Royal Family of Inhumans is splintered by a military coup, they barely escape to Hawaii where their surprising interactions with the lush world and humanity around them may prove to not only save them, but Earth itself.
Inhumans will premiere in IMAX theaters on September 1st, with a two-week run for the first two episodes, before the full eight episodes air on ABC from September 22nd. Featuring in the cast of the series are Anson Mount as Black Bolt, Iwan Rheon as Maximus, Serinda Swan as Medusa, Ken Leung as Karnak, Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, Isabelle Cornish as Crystal, Mike Moh as Triton, Sonya Balmores as Auran, and Ellen Woglom and Chad James Buchanan as as-yet-unrevealed characters.
