FOX did a character exchange with Marvel in return for something...

"Kurt Russell [‘s Ego the Living Planet] in the new ‘Guardians’ movie was the character that Fox swapped with Marvel to [change] Negasonic Teenage Warhead powers,"

And 2017 gets busier now that The Inhumans are getting their own spin off from SHIELD

Marvel’s ‘Inhumans’ TV Series Will Arrive via Imax Theaters

One of Marvel Entertainment’s most sprawling superhero mythologies, the Inhumans, is headed to the small screen in a major way.

But the Inhuman likes of Black Bolt, Crystal and Lockjaw, the teleporting dog, will first appear on big screens. As in the biggest.

Imax Corporation, Marvel and the ABC broadcast network announced a partnership on Monday to introduce — and finance — a lavish new television series that will focus on the Inhuman royal family. Under the agreement, a version that combines the initial two episodes of “Marvel’s The Inhumans,” shot entirely with Imax cameras, will play exclusively for two weeks next September on Imax screens worldwide.

Shortly thereafter, the episodes — edited to include additional scenes — will run on ABC, with new installments unspooling in typical prime-time fashion. (The look of the series on TV will be enhanced due to Imax technology.)

The series, billed as a family action-adventure with signature Marvel humor, will be set in the present day, with some action seeming to take place on the moon.

The deal is significant for several reasons.

As their live audiences have dwindled and competition has increased, broadcast networks have struggled to create sizzle around new shows. ABC, which urgently needs new hits, is betting that Imax, with its strength among younger consumers known as fanboys, will help make “The Inhumans” a must-see event.

“In the incredibly crowded marketplace of television, we are very excited about this because it’s a unique and innovative and bold way to debut our best new content,” Ben Sherwood, president of Disney-ABC Television Group, said by phone.

The deal also indicates that Disney remains focused on telling Marvel stories on ABC after an unexceptional start to that effort. “Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” has brought more male viewers to ABC, but it has been only a modest ratings performer. Another effort, “Agent Carter,” was a misfire.

ABC wants what Marvel Television and ABC Studios have supplied to Netflix — buzz-creating, widely watched series like “Luke Cage” and “Daredevil.”

A co-financing arrangement with Imax will allow ABC and Marvel to spend more to make “The Inhumans,” which will include cinema-quality visual effects. (One criticism of “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” has been that certain action sequences are less than dazzling.) Imax has never before served as a financing participant in a TV series, according to Richard L. Gelfond, the company’s chief executive.

“We think this is a business for us,” Mr. Gelfond said of the financing arrangement. “Because Imax has an equity participation both in the pilot and in the series, this deal will be financially advantageous to Imax on an ongoing basis.”

Imax has dabbled in the past at showing TV content on its supersize screens. Last year, for instance, it played a couple of Season 4 episodes of “Game of Thrones.” But a series has never before made its debut through Imax, which has more than 1,000 locations worldwide.

“We see it as a way to extend the Imax brand and diversify our revenue,” Mr. Gelfond said.

In particular, he hopes television content could help draw crowds to Imax locations at times of the year — like fall — when there is a dearth of blockbuster-style movies. Imax worked for years to find a winning strategy for quieter times at the box office; most recently it tried showing films aimed at older audiences, which delivered weak results.

“We’re confident our exhibition partners will be excited about this,” Mr. Gelfond said. “The response from conceptual conversations has been extremely positive.”

Marvel, which has been on a box-office tear, initially expected to turn the Inhumans into a string of movies, even announcing its plans publicly in 2014. But the studio ultimately decided the property would be a better fit for TV, in part because there were already a lot of different Marvel movie franchises continuing.

Mr. Sherwood, noting pains have been taken to make sure ABC affiliates are on board with the Imax debut, said the “sneak peek” of “The Inhumans” would include “big, theatrical moments specially conceived for the Imax screen.” The series debut will also come at a time when no Marvel movies are playing in theaters.

“We’ve worked very carefully with our friends at Marvel Studios — and this is a critical point — to make sure that calendar-wise and content-wise we are only enhancing the Marvel universe,” he said.

Rumoured to be around 8 episodes long

I thought I read on GAF this wasn't going to feature the royal family.

SHIELD is introducing some of them this season I believe.

With FOX and Marvel sitting at a table to hash out a minor deal for Ego, I am wondering if they came to any other deals at the same time. It would have been the same time that Marvel okay'd the X-Men TV Shows, so maybe Fantastic Four is Phase 4 now? (causing Inhumans to be dropped from the movie slate)

Does anyone, anywhere give a fudge about the Inhumans

Yeah I don't think Vin Diesel is going to be Black Bolt any more.

They've been pretty good at replacing the X-Men hole so far, but it has felt like they've been tip toeing around the subject of Inhumans still. If the movie has been shitcanned then that means the whole area is free for the TV shows to play around with.

I want to point out how crazy this is for one particular reason!

Monster Magnet! Incase anyone does not know,Dave Wyndorf the lead singer and creater of Monster Magnet is a huge comic nerd and wrote the song "Ego the Living Planet" in honour of the character, someone at Marvel loved it so much they named a character after one of Monster Magnets other songs "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" (awful name for a character) Now those exact two characters are involved again? Rather an odd coincedence

Holy gooseberry fool :lol:

that's amazing

Dave Wyndorfs a pretty cool guy, he's been on Tell 'em Steve-Dave a fair whack. Always good when he's on.

Even with the alleged bigger budget they are getting from this IMAX partnership I still don't think a TV series will do them justice. 10 months till it's out and no announcement of a showrunner, cast etc. :dread:

Hope it has absolutely zero connections to Agents of SHIELD too.

You could be right but who knows. I think I'm the only person who thinks the Marvel TV shows do a pretty good job of matching the movie visuals. They share a lot of the same resources I believe as the movies themselves. If the Inhumans show ends up getting a bigger budget, something like Game of Thrones levels of funding then I think it could look great.

I don't know Inhumans very well but surely an episode format would work far better than a 90-120 minute movie as well? I kind of wish we had an X-Men show because those stories would work better in that format than the movies we get

Agents of Shield is great

If you use Comixology they're having an Inhumans sale just now and this mini-series is pretty much the best Inhumans story story Marvel have done in is a good introduction to them for newcomers https://www.comixology.co.uk/Inhumans-B ... lzdDE0MDU2

All they really need to do for the show is some sort of adaptation of that, but it'll probably be the complete opposite if it's anything like Agents of SHIELD.

Thanks! I'll check that out

Agents of SHIELD really sold the Inhumans short. So many amazing characters, and they made them look like a bunch of boring pussies.

They weren't the real Inhumans. No Black Bolt or Medusa. No Lockjaw. Wasted opportunity.

I was looking forward to see what the Inhumans were all about but an ABC production after the worst Marvel live action show? Urgh, no thanks.

Luke Cage? That's one of the best ABC shows so far
