Are Marvel Positioning THE INHUMANS To Be Their Movie Versions Of Mutants?

We know that Marvel don't have the movie rights to the X-Men, but could they be rebooting the comic incarnations of The Inhumans to fill their role in the movie universe? The latest "Be Vigilant" Inhumanity teaser may well suggest so..

On the surface the above pic is just another Marvel teaser for an upcoming comic event, but lets look at the wider implications. That "Be Vigilant" propaganda style image certainly calls to mind the early fear and hatred faced by Mutants in the Marvel comic universe, so it looks like The Inhumans are going to be similarly ostracized in the upcoming Inhumanity event. How does that tie into the movies? Well we've heard that there's an Inhumans flick somewhere on the cards, and since Marvel Studios can't use the X-Men, it makes sense that they'd position a different set of characters to take their place -- possibly giving them a way to explain how characters like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch came by their powers. It definitely looks as if they'll be the new "threat" in the comic universe anyway. It's just speculation for now of course, but don't be surprised if -- just as they did with Guardians Of The Galaxy -- Marvel use this latest event as a jumping on point which eventually leads to The Inhumans on the big screen.
