At today's Upfronts, ABC announced their upcoming Fall schedule, in which Inhumans was announced to be airing at 9pm on Fridays, occupying the spot previously held by ABC's Shark Tank, as part of a move to add more genre-based dramas to Friday slots (including Once Upon A Time, which will be retooled and changing several elements of the show in it's upcoming season). As part of this presentation, a trailer for the show was played (as with all of ABC's new series). Though it has yet to be released officially, descriptions and reactions to the footage have began to surface. Below is a description written by the site Nerd Reactor
In the first look, we hear the same introduction from Maximus (Iwan Rheon) as heard in the teaser trailer. But this time, we see bits and pieces of the royal family at home and on Earth.
The scene begins with the Earth, moon, and Attilan, where Black Bolt, Medusa, and their family reside. It then cuts to the family eating dinner together. Cut to Medusa and Black Bolt walking down the stairs with Maximus behind them. It then shows Maximus in front of a crowd and then cuts to him with armed soldiers aimed at a group of people (the elders). Next, we see them dead.
Crystal is being taken away from the palace. Medusa is seen being restrained with Maximus looking at her. Maximus sits in a middle of a dome and is then with his men.
Cue Black Bolt’s face. Lockjaw and Black Bolt teleport to Earth in the middle of the street, which causes a car accident. Black Bolt looks concerned.
We then see Karnak (Ken Leung) in a forest. Maximus walks down another dark hall. Someone (either Black Bolt or Maximus) is jumping from a cliff into the water. Soldiers are roaming in the forest looking for someone with their guns out.
Black Bolt is wearing a normal casual suit and running in the streets.
We go back to an unidentified inhuman running in the forest from explosions and gunfire. Then action scenes of Karnak and Gorgon fighting in the forest.
Black Bolt is seen again in his casual suit being attacked by police. Then more of Maximus. More of Black Bolt. Then Inhumans logo.
Similarly, reactions, mixing from negative to extremely positive, surfaced on Twitter from those at the presentation themselves, which have been collected below.
With that, how has this changed your expectations for the show? Are you looking more or less forward to it, now that footage has been shown, albeit to a small number of people? Is Lockjaw the best animal in the comics universe? Leave your opinions in the comments below!
