Had things been different, Inhumans would have closed out MCU Phase 3 today.

Instead we got this:



Announced nearly five years ago at Marvel's huge reveal event for phase 3, Inhumans was to come out in between Avengers 3 and 4, premiering November 8, 2018:
Phase3-800x400.jpg



Then with the success of Ant-Man and the huge get of Spiderman, things changed as Homecoming and Ant-Man and the Wasp were added, moving Inhumans to come today along with some other changes in dates:

Then after that(https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Inhumans_(film)):
After Walt Disney Company announced a new Indiana Jones movie will be released around the same time of Inhumans, Kevin Feige suggested that the date of release will likely be delayed.[1]

On April 22, 2016 Disney removed the picture from its production schedule leaving the film without a release date.[2]

On July 27, 2016, Comicbook.com gave a report citing how Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had more room to operate with its Inhuman characters.

On November 11, 2016, screenrant.com gave a report in which Kevin Feige says that it could happen as a movie in Phase 4.[3]

It was around the same time that last comment was made was when the show was announced.

So the Inhumans, who were no doubt going to be the MCU's X-Men almost got a movie, but instead got a piss poor TV show. Now Marvel has X-Men again, so we may never see them on the big screen anytime soon, but at least their portrayal on Agent's of SHIELD does not disappoint.

The Inhumans film announcement and later TV show was all Ike Perlmutter's doing.

I pretty much only know the Inhumans from Hickman's run on things and while I do find them kind of interesting, I just never really got into them. Never had any interest in reading more about them besides trying to figure out some backstory for Hickman's stuff. Except for...

Ms. Marvel. She is fantastic.

If they actually did get the movie I feel like we would be talking about another property that got elevated thanks to the movies. I don't think the characters themselves are bad, but the TV show was just the absolute worst MCU thing.

The Inhumans could have finally risen to the greatness and admiration they deserve under the boy Kevin.

A shame it wasn't meant to be.

When Kevin Feige got full control of control of the movie side the Inumans were pretty much done on the movie side since as you said they were being pushed by Ike Perlmutter. Also Ike Perlmutter is the worst and I wonder if he is still meddling with Veteran Affairs?

Is there a plan for XMen in the MCU? Is Marvel waiting for the stench to wear off.

Yes and again, Disney can't just cut him without a fat paycheck.

The irony is had he just waited, the Inhumans would get the Enternals spot.

Inhumans died so Eternals could live.

It's a trade I can live with, honestly. And it gave Agents of SHIELD leeway to do some fun stuff, too. I don't think Season 2 would have been as good as it was without that extra room to explore the Inhuman mythos.

Inhumans were basically second-rate X-Men, so now that they actually have the X-Men again they're not really as important.

Biggest downgrade in franchise history? Almost ALMOST could've had them with actual decent budget, costumes, actors, etc

No, he just said they would be introducing her after Captain Marvel.

"Ms. Marvel, which is another character in the comic books—the Muslim hero who was inspired by Captain Marvel—is definitely, sort of in the works. We have plans for that once we've introduced Captain Marvel to the world."

Then just the other month Mindy Kaling said she's talked to Marvel about it, and said:

"Now there's, like, this streaming platform with them. It might be something like that."

Okay, I figured this is what you were referring to. Not really seeing how that implies it'll be Disney+, she just thinks it's a potential platform they might use for the character. She even goes on later to say she knows nothing about any info regarding an adaptation for either TV or film:

I mean, she's on video talking about it. That comes off as "Marvel called me and told me to STFU".

I could see Captain Marvel and the Kree setting the stage for the Inhumans, but otherwise I'm not sure what they'd do with them.

I think they could only somewhat be an X-Men analogue. Mostly they'd have to develop their own purpose for existing.

Probably for the best that it got scrapped, but it could have helped set up Kamala more.

Yea, talking about it as something they might do. You had me thinking like she just straight up said it'd be on there lol. If that was the case, then yea, I could see her tweet as her being forced to walk it back.

Well whatever, guess we'll see. Hopefully she makes it to the big screen.

A shame, the film adaptation could have been really interesting in the right hands.

I think they were going to be used as weapons by the Kree, in an upcoming kinda Skrull-Kree war, where Skrulls are allies.
But of course the royal family wouldn't take that nicely.

I wonder if their role is now gonna be taken by the Eternals, in a more space scope and maybe setting up evolution and the X-Men; with all the Celestial stuff.

it's honestly pretty funny that the company that managed to strike box office gold with a guardians of the galaxy movie couldn't make inhumans work.
