Marvel’s latest TV venture Inhumans has certainly had a tough time of things; the first promotional images and trailer were savaged by fans, and the two-part premiere episode – which screened in IMAX theaters earlier this month – met with a similar fate from critics and audiences.
The show – which has reportedly been a source of contention between ABC and Marvel – is gearing up for its network premiere a week from today, and a new promotional poster has arrived online which bills the superhero drama as ‘The Complete Series’, prompting speculation that the show has already been cancelled. Here’s the poster in question…
However, a spokesperson from ABC has contacted RenewCancelTV to state that “this is not a new poster [and] the same promotional verbiage [has been used] throughout our campaign.”
It would certainly seem a little early for a decision to have been made on the future of Inhumans; despite all of the negative buzz, there’s still the possibility that the show could prove to be a ratings hit, so this may well not be the last we see of Black Bolt and company.
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 stars 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, Henry Ian Cusick as Dr. Evan Declan, Ellen Woglom as Louise and Chad James Buchanan as an as-yet-unrevealed character.
