Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness didn't include as many surprises as some fans had hoped for, but one of the biggest came when Anson Mount reprised his Inhumans role as Black Bolt.
Decked out in a comic-accurate costume, we got to see the extent of his powers when he reduced Earth-838's Doctor Strange to little more than a pile of dust. However, after crossing paths with the Scarlet Witch, his head was blown up from the inside out.
The hope is another of the Inhuman's Variants will eventually show up, and Anson Mount strongly hinted at his MCU future in an interview with Radio Times.
"If the answer was yes I wouldn't be able to tell you," the actor responded when asked if a return is in the works, "but the answer is no, so I can. I've had some informal conversations with the powers [at] Marvel and it's a conversation, but they've got their current phase that they need to do."
"I don't know, we'll see," Mount added. "I would love to jump back into the cowl and do it again. I love Black Bolt as a character."
It doesn't sound like his Black Bolt return was necessarily a one-off, and while we don't anticipate ever seeing an Inhumans movie, we're guessing there may be plans for the team somewhere down the line (we've yet to meet his Earth-616 Variant, for example).
Marvel Studios will need to be careful when it comes to killing characters and bringing them back courtesy of the Multiverse, especially as that could lead to confusion among casual moviegoers.
Only time will tell what the future may or may not hold in store for the actor and character, though the fact talks have taken place at all is definitely promising.
