Black Bolt

The King of the Inhumans is played by Hell On Wheels actor Anson Mount, who will stick to comic book canon by playing the regal character mute (though, without his signature mask).

This poster is just one example of the work that Anson's facial muscles will be doing to give fans a Black Bolt they know and love.

Medusa

Black Bolt's queen has become a prominent figure in Marvel Comics these days, and with good reason! Mixing regal grace with some fearsome (and frankly, creepy) power, Medusa is a queen unlike any other.

Actress Serinda Swan is starting off from an uphill battle, as Marvel fans are already critical of the visual effects and design of her signature "living hair." However, if the character and performance is good enough, the visuals can always been improved in subsequent episodes.

Maximus

The most interesting and compelling of the Inhumans Royal Family (besides Black Bolt) is his brother, Maximus. Like Othello's Iago, Maximus is a brilliant yet insidious character, who plots to overthrow his brother, the king.

Fans have been excited to see Maximus potrayed by Game of Thrones fan-favorite villain Ramsay Bolton - aka actor Iwan Rheon. If every story needs a good villain to be successful, then Marvel's Inhumans will be a hit with its version of Maximus.
