The Inhumans: New Set Video Shows Black Bolt Running From Police

03/20/2017 08:36 am EDT

The filming of Marvel's The Inhumans is now underway and photos from the set have given us our first peek at several members of the show's core cast, including Black Bolt, Lockjaw, Medusa, Maximus, and Crystal. Now videos of the set have given us a glimpse of Black Bolt, the Inhuman king, in action.

The video shows Anson Mount, the actor who plays Black Bolt, on the run from multiple police vehicles. In this shot Black Bolt has traded his leather, Game of Thrones-style costume for typical, human business clothes, suggesting he was trying to blend in with human society. The reasons why he was doing so, and the reason why he's now on the run from the law, remain unknown.

Marvel Television and ABC's Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has been dealing with Inhumans through most of its four seasons, but Marvel's The Inhumans will focus on Marvel's most popular Inhuman characters, the Inhuman Royal Family.

As king of the Inhumans, Blackagar Boltagon is the leader of the Royal Family and the entire Inhuman people. Terrigenesis bestowed upon Black Bolt a voice that can level a mountain or destroy a city with just a whisper. As such, he rules silently, a trait that will carry over into the television series. Black Bolt traditionally has the aid of his wife, Queen Medusa, to translate his silent commands to others.

The Inhumans were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the pages of Fantastic Four during the early days of the Marvel Universe. The secretive civilization was genetically engineered by the alien Kree during Earth's pre-history. The Inhumans have mostly lived in seclusion in the city of Attilan, which periodically relocates to different areas on Earth and sometimes to the moon. More recently, the creation of two roving Terrigen Mist clouds have caused a sudden surge in Inhuman population and forced the Royals to leave the shadows and begin integrating with human society.

Marvel's The Inhumans stars Anson Mount, Serinda Swan, Iwan Rheon, Ken Leung, Eme Ikwuakor, Isabelle Cornish, Mike Moh, Sonya Balmores and Ellen Woglom.

Roel Reine will direct the first two episodes, which will debut in IMAX theaters on Labor Day weekend before airing on ABC in the fall.
