Here’s more on the actors playing the Royal Family:

Ken Leung (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lost) will play the key role of Karnak in the Marvel’s Inhumans television series. Karnak is Black Bolt’s cousin and closest advisor. Karnak’s gift is the ability to see the fault in all things – people, plans, structures, everything. He’s Black Bolt’s most devoted supporter, chief strategist and is often seen as the royal family’s planner and philosopher. In the comics, Karnak is currently starring in his own series as a warrior monk mentor.

INHUMANITY #1 Preview

Inhumanity exploded across planet Earth changing the human race.

During Infinity Black Bolt took extreme measures to stop Thanos. He detonated a Terrigen bomb triggering long dormant alien genes in the human race. Now ordinary humans have extraordinary powers and appearances. The world thinks Black Bolt is dead. Attilan (the Inhumans floating city) lies in ruins.

What will happen to Medusa, Crystal and the Royal Family?

This week Marvel releases Inhumanity #1 by Matt Fraction and Olivier Coipel. This is just the beginning as the one-time supporting players in Fantastic Four and Avengers stories become the dominant force in the Marvel Universe.

Fraction explained the importance of this Fall and Rise of the Inhumans on Marvel.com: Continue reading INHUMANITY #1 Preview

INHUMANITY Means Major Marvel Change

UPDATED

Now with this cover to Inhumanity #1 featuring Karnak kicking into action courtesy Marvel. Could this be a teaser that he’s the only survivor of the Royal Family?

Paranoia infects the Marvel Universe as seen by a new round of teasers for a big event coming in September. After the “Is He?” teaser my speculation hinted at the death or return of a major character or a something connected to the upcoming Inhumanity event.

With this latest round of teasers we now know it’s the Inhumans! In the aftermath of Infinity and Black Bolt’s conflict with Thanos – it’s possible the Terrigen Mist (which give young Inhumans their powers) will spread to the Earth’s surface…and the human population.
