Den of Geek visited the Hawaiian set of The Inhumans TV show.
That set-up alone might seem to makeInhumansa hard narrative sell.
Its hard to muster up too much sympathy for the Moons one-percentersforcedto live on an island paradise.
An exploration of the responsibilities of power.
The sound of his voice can destroy entire cities.
An escaped whisper could kill the people around him, including the people he loves.
His power is a blunt, indiscriminate instrument.
[Black Bolt] cant lose control or bad shit happens, Mount says.
Will we ever hear Black Bolt speak?
I mean, he sneezes, he blows half the world away, its that powerful.
For Mount, he doesnt mind keeping quiet as Black Bolt.
When else am I going to get that opportunity?
A family drama first and foremost.
I love her because shes very powerful.
She doesnt get lost.
Even though shes speaking for the king [Black Bolt], she doesnt get lost within his thoughts.
Married to Black Bolt, Medusa is as much a leader as her husband.
He relies on her voice, judgment, and perspective to help lead their people.
Theres an immense codependence between the two between two very independent people.
This codependence is developed at an early age.
The Inhumans arent born with their powers.
They go through a process called Terrigenesis at the age of 14.
When they are exposed to the Terrigen Mist, their innate powers are revealed.
Theres massive loss with his parents, theres everything.
Black Bolt must create his own sign language to communicate what he is thinking and feeling.
He does this with Medusa by his side.
Swan elaborates:
They have this symbiosis that keeps them intertwined, which I love.
And so, obviously, through childhood, they create this language together.
Then, they get married.
She becomes the queen and he becomes the king and, through her, he can rule.
Because, without her, he cant.
Theres nobody to talk to.
I mean, hecould, but then it gets really lonely after he talks.
Another day, another game of thrones.
Its unclear, as of yet, if this will be the case in the TV show.
If Maximusishiding his powers, hes playing it very close to the vest.
Meet the rest of the Inhumans family.
Australian actress Isabelle Cornish plays Crystal, Medusas sister and an Inhuman with the ability to control the weather.
(Maybethats why Hawaii is always so pleasant.)
And she has a 2,000-pound, teleporting, transporting dog.
That would be Lockjaw, a giant dog with the ability to teleport himself and others across vast distances.
(The show has a scale model of the dog.
Lostalum Ken Leung plays Karnak, one of the cousins of the Royal Family.
Apparently, Karnaks power does not prevent the Royal Family from becoming refugees in Hawaii follwing a military coup.
(Sorrynotsorry, Karnak.)
and the leader of the Attilan miltary.
With super strong legs and hooves, Gorgon can generate seismic waves with a single stomp.
Basically, Im the guy who kind of acts before he thinks.
He gets to push the boundaries, which is amazing.
Another cousin of Black Bolt, Triton has a fish-like ability to live underwater.
He also keeps his cool under pressure and is very athletic.
Sonya Balmores plays Auran.
She described her character like this:
Im the head of the Royal Guard.
I work really closely with the Royal Family and Im fiercely loyal to the King of Attilan.
Yeah, Im one of the soldiers.
I get the job done, whatever the job might be.
(I guess there werent a lot of people watching Ridley ScottsGladiatorwhen she was listening.)
Ill be sure to keep my ear to the ground.
After that, the show will have its official ABC two-hour premiere on September 29th starting at 8 p.m.
