Marvel Has Tried To Ignore The Failed Inhumans TV Show
Marvel Studios had originally planned anInhumansmovie to release as part of the MCU ’s Phase 3 , but this project was train off the button schedule in 2016 . or else , following their successful introduction in Marvel Television’sAgents of SHIELDseason 2 , the Inhumans were gifted their own TV series , which premiere on ABC in September 2017 . alas , Marvel Television’sInhumansseries was a Brobdingnagian critical flop , with the show ’s sole season suffering from wretched penning , deadening production aim and low budget nature . Since its cancelation , Marvel Studios has made a conscious feat to avoidInhumansreferences , but this approximation has recently been interchange .
Anson Mount reprised his role of Blackagar Boltagon , a.k.a . the Inhuman KingBlack Bolt , in 2022’sDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness .

Why The Marvel’s Inhumans Mistake Actually Makes Sense
At first glimpse , it seems as though Kamala Khan ’s Inhuman assignment inThe Marvelsis a misunderstanding . This theme is exasperate by the fact that she ’s listed as a polymorph , which isMs . Marvel ’s superpowerin Marvel Comics - where she is an Inhuman - but not in the MCU . However , it ’s potential that she could still be officially known as an Inhuman in the MCU , not least because the only two the great unwashed who fuck of her mutation are herself and Matt Lintz ’s Bruno Carrelli . Kamala Khan ’s potential Inhuman genes would show up as a mutation , so Bruno state she has a mutation could have simply been relate to this .
WhileAgents of SHIELDandInhumans’canon condition to the main MCUcontinuity have been disputed , it ’s possible that Inhumans have been known about for years , potentially even since theirAgents of SHIELDdebut in 2014 . This entail that it would make sense for SABER to assume Ms. Marvel is an Inhuman , rather than a mutant , as that condition is n’t widely cognise . Also , in Marvel Comics , Kamala Khan has been an Inhuman , a sport , and more recently has been both concurrently , so there ’s priority for her to bridge this divide in the MCU , soThe Marvelsmay be hint at the Inhumans having a large persona in the MCU ’s futurity .
