We may never know the real reason why Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige decided against making The Inhumans, though it's widely believed that it has something to do with the rift between him and Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac Perlmutter. The property is still heading to the biggest of big screens as IMAX look set to premiere the first two episodes, but these characters will now live on television.
Someone unhappy about that is Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 star Vin Diesel, and the actor - who has frequently campaigned for the role of Black Bolt - had this to say about Marvel's apparent mistake.
"I don’t think Marvel should abandon their opportunity to make a film out of it," he said. "I think it could be a huge, huge saga, and if I had more time I would go over to Marvel and have that very conversation. But I think it would be a big mistake for Marvel to abandon their ambitions or their objective or their goals of making it into a film because it would make such a cool universe."
The Inhumans has a showrunner and director, so chances are no one at the company is going to listen to Diesel's pleas to make it a movie instead of an eight-part series on ABC. The actor could get his wish to play Black Bolt, but that would require taking a serious pay cut, so it seems unlikely. Still, a big name taking on the role would certainly help bring more eyes to the project. What do you guys think?
