Over in the comics , Marvel has launch its latest event , Death of Inhumans . The comics have been strongly sharpen on the Inhumans since 2013 , and writer Charles Soule has take the comic Holy Writ franchise from strength to strength . Still , Soule has go on , and gross sales are n’t enceinte . As a result , Marvel appear to be bring the story of the Inhumans to a dramatic finale .
Ironically , doing so has let on just how much potential the enfranchisement could have added to the MCU .
The Inhumans were create by an alien race known as the Kree , who performed genetical experiments on man in ancient time so as to create super - powered warriors . Building on a conception from Jonathan Hickman’sFantastic Fourrun , Death of Inhumansreveals that these experiments were ended when the Kree learned of a prophecy : that an Inhuman know as the " Midnight King " would lead to " the annihilation of the Kree specie . "
That statute title is associated with Black Bolt , and thus it seems Black Bolt ’s ultimate destiny will be to bring in an end to the Kree slipstream once and for all . InDeath of Inhumans , the Kree - who ’ve forget that imagination over the course of millennia - attempt to storm Black Bolt into servility , launching a devastating flack on the Inhumans . dear heroes are slaughtered at their hands , member of the Royal Family are killed , and while the Kree do n’t know it , they ’ve just chip in Black Bolt all the motivation he needs to retaliate . The first issue seems to launch the Kree and the Inhumans on a path of mutually see to it end .
This one story alone underscores just how much potential theInhumansfranchise really had as part of the MCU . The success ofGuardians of the Galaxyhas led Marvel to encompass the cosmic , and a crucial step along that road is next year’sCaptain Marvel . This film will bring the Kree into the spot , with Carol Danvers and Nick Fury getting caught up inthe Kree - Skrull War . The Kree wash are clearly important to the future of the MCU , but the idea of aDeath of Inhumansfilm - one that bring the two raceway into head - on collision - is breathtaking . In just one proceeds , Marvel Comics has demonstrated why Marvel Studios should have been concerned in theInhumans .
For now , that ship has sail . Marvel Studios passed on the chance to employ the Inhumans , and the TV series was hardly a winner . Marvel Studios is unlikely to want anything to do with that damage franchise for quite some time ; and when they do , it ’s most likely there ’ll be a simple reboot , with theInhumansTV series wipe off from continuity .
