Kevin Feige Talks Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Relationship To Inhumans Movie

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been introducing the Inhumans to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Inhumans are also set to hit the big screen with their own movie in 2019. So what's the balance between television and film when it comes to these characters?

"It was always the intention that introducing them to the public would be happening quickly, and it would happen in the show," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige tells Badass Digest.

Feige says that, where sometimes the television arm of Marvel is forced to work itself into the studio's movie plans, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is the one tasked with leading the way on the Inhumans, at least until we get closer to the movie's release.

"There have been discussions between myself and Eric Buckley and Dan Carroll, who is the conduit between Jeph Loeb and the runners, in terms of them saying, 'We're thinking of doing this, this and this - does that gibe with what you're doing in the movies?' And in some cases, like with the Avengers movies, it's very close. We have to say, 'This is happening, so you have to do this.'

"In the case of The Inhumans, they're blazing new ground. As we get down the road towards that one, we'll see what the pieces are."

And in terms of what's off limit from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Feige assumes most comic fans can probably figure it out.

"Certainly, in terms of those backstories on some of those things. Knowing the comics, you can guess the kind of things you wouldn't see on a TV show."

That most likely means that the characters likely to be drive Inhumans movie – namely, the Royal Family – and parts of the Inhuman's mythology that might be particularly challenging for a TV budget – like Attilan – probably won't be debuting on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
