With the Captain Marvel movie on the horizon, the Kree have a newfound importance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but fans won't have to wait even that long for one of Marvel's most significant cosmic cultures to get a nod.

Marvel's Inhumans director Roel Reiné tells ComicBook.com that fans can expect to see the Kree represented through Easter eggs in the upcoming ABC series.

"For me, also, I'm a big Marvel fan as well, so for me, I'm also seeing, 'How can I tie it in?'" director Roel Reiné says. "Remember, Inhumans are a specific thing, but they also go back to the Kree and the Kree has kind of a big history in the Marvel language, so I was kind of trying to put a lot of Easter eggs in the episode where you see the Kree language and artwork. So I'm trying to tie into that world."

The most prominent man of the Kree to show up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe so far was Ronan, the fanatical villain of Guardians of the Galaxy. However, the Kree have also appeared in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD.

In Marvel's Inhumans, after the Royal Family of Inhumans is splintered by a military coup, they barely escape to Hawaii where their surprising interactions with the lush world and humanity around them may prove to not only save them, but Earth itself.

The Inhumans, a race of superhumans with diverse and singularly unique powers, were first introduced in Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965. Since that time, they have grown in prominence and become some of the most popular and iconic characters in the Marvel Universe. Marvel's The Inhumans will explore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family.

Marvel's Inhumans stars Anson Mount as Black Bolt, Serinda Swan as Medusa, Iwan Rheon as Maximus, Ken Leung as Karnak, Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, Isabelle Cornish as Crystal, Mike Moh as Triton, Sonya Balmores as Auran, and Ellen Woglom.

Buck is serving as showrunner. Roel Reine (Admiral, Black Sails) will direct the first two episodes, which will debut in IMAX theaters.
