THE INHUMANS Casts HELL ON WHEELS Actor Anson Mount As Black Bolt
Following the recent news that Iwan Rheon has been cast as Maximus in Marvel and ABC's The Inhumans, it's just been announced that Anson Mount will bring life to his more heroic brother, Black Bolt...
We have our Black Bolt! EW is reporting that Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels, Dollhouse, Straw Dogs) has joined the cast of Marvel and ABC's The Inhumans as the silent leader of the team. This small screen take on the mega-popular character is described as "the commanding King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the slightest whisper can destroy a city." Sounds about right!
"Anson loves the challenge of playing a character who will only communicate silently,” said Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television. “His enthusiasm mixed with his imposing almost regal persona made it easy to see why he is our Black Bolt.” Added showrunner Scott Buck: “Black Bolt is a character whose deep complexity must be conveyed without uttering a single word, and I’m very excited to have Anson on board to bring him to life.”
Mount joins former Game of Thrones actor Iwan Rheon as Maximus.The first 2 episodes of The Inhumans will screen in IMAX theaters on September 1, with the show set to continue on ABC on September 26.
