Previously, The Inhumans first appeared on the Marvel Studios list of possible films back in 2011 with the discovery of the a logline which reads - "The Inhumans are aliens who were put on Earth as sleeper cell agents to eventually call back their race to take over the planet. Ultimately, the group of aliens fully assimilates and don’t want to cause war." A few months later, Kevin Feige went on record in Entertainment Weekly to state that if an Inhumans film happens it would be as 'an X-Men style ensemble a la The Avengers.' Since that statement, Marvel has gone on to announce The Guardians of the Galaxy for Phase Two which lead many to believe that The Inhumans were no longer a possibility. But perhaps The Inhumans will join Ant-Man and Doctor Strange for Marvel's Phase Three?

Is Marvel Working On An Inhumans Movie Behind The Scenes?
The Inhumans are steeped in Marvel lore, first appearing back in the publisher's early days in the year 1965. The Inhumans became
'Uncanny' at the same time as the X-Men in October 1975. History has shown which of the two uncanny teams became the most popular. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, The Inhumans started out as humans but were experimented upon by the alien Kree over a millennium ago to be superpowered 'Inhuman' soldiers for their intergalactic war with the Skrulls. They make their home on the dark side of the moon and are typically involved with the galactic adventures of the Fantastic Four and to a lesser extent, The Guardians of the Galaxy. Their leader, Black Bolt, plays a significant role in the events of
Planet Hulk and
World War Hulk as a member of the
Illuminati.
