Before Marvel Comic’s Inhumans became the epic failure that was Marvel’s Inhumans TV series and IMAX feature, Black Bolt and the Royal Family of Attilan were going to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movie slate.

Inhumans was one of the more unexpected and intriguing additions to Marvel Studios’ original Phase 3 lineup, and was far enough down the path of development that it even had a release date: today, Friday November 2, 2018.
In honor of the Inhumans movie that never was, Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are going in on social media, sharing fond memories of “the greatest movie that never was.” If you want a sampling of this little “What If?” game, just scroll below:
Diesel Loss
I was so looking forward to the Inhumans movie with Vin in it. Then I heard it was being made into a TV show but that Vin would not be in it. I was sad but had hope. Then the first images, video and trailer came out & I was crushed. The small budget really hurt them bad.

Ah yes, before Vinย Diesel was Groot, many Marvel fans expected theย Fast and Furiousย star to reign as king Black Bolt.ย
Needless to say, that ship has all kinds of sailed by now…
Bad Anniversary

When is Inhumans 2? ??? pic.twitter.com/IcVj4Dgyb0
This one gets points for presentation, and imagination.ย
It also gets bonus points for that DC movie jab it throws with that Jack Black / Green Lantern reference. Stellar work.ย
Too Soon!

That’s just straight savage.ย
The wounds fromย Avengers: Infinity Warย are still just too fresh. And will be until we get thatย Avengers 4ย title and trailer! (Hint)
These Were Our Hopes
Today November 2, 2018 Marvel Studios wouldโve had delivered an INHUMANS film as it was originally intended to be released first, a project that never came into fruition until it was reshuffled pushed back, taken off the plans.

city Attilan would have been another spectacle film for Marvel. Earlier this year we were introduced to Black Panther and the technological advance city of Wakanda rich beautifully vibrant visuals a success it was. Imagine what that early screenplay that Joe Robert Cole had

written for the Inhumans who also co-wrote Black Panther and was a success! Now that we have Wakanda, Attilan should be no exception! We have a talking raccoon and a tree so a teleporting 1,000 lbs dog shouldnโt be weird by now.. these characters need their own feature film that

Will showcase the spectacular Infrastructure of Attilan and itโs weird Inhuman society. Make it happen thank youโค๏ธ. @Kevfeige @TheRealStanLee @MarvelStudios @Russo_Brothers @TaikaWaititi @scottderrickson @MrPeytonReed @fleckryan1 #MCU #Marvel #Inhumans
