Eme Ikwuakor, Isabelle
Cornish, Mike Moh, Sonya Balmores, and Ellen Woglom will round out the cast
of Marvel’s Inhumans television series for ABC.
With this announcement, Marvel
completes the casting for key roles in this groundbreaking series.
Marvel’s Inhumans explores the
never-before-told epic adventure of the royal family including Black Bolt, the
enigmatic, commanding King of the Inhumans, with a voice so powerful that the
slightest whisper can destroy a city.
It was previously announced that
a version of the first two episodes of the new ABC series, will premiere
exclusively in IMAX theatres for a two-week period in September, prior to the
8-episode network run.
Eme Ikwuakor ("Extant") as Gorgon – Cousin
of Black Bolt, member of the Royal family, and leader of
Attilan’s military. With super strong legs, complete with hooves, he can
generate destructive seismic waves with a single stomp. The yin to his cousin
Karnak’s yang, Gorgon would rather fight than talk to solve his
problems.
Isabelle Cornish ("Puberty
Blues") as Crystal – Medusa’s sister, Crystal is the youngest member of the royal family and has the ability
to control the elements. Impetuous and independent she is also deeply devoted
to her family.
Mike Moh ("Empire") as
Triton – Black Bolt’s cousin, he’s calm under pressure and
supremely athletic. His gift is his fish-like ability to live underwater.
Sonya Balmores ("Beyond
the Break") as Auran – Head of the Royal Guards on
Attilan, a capable and no-nonsense woman. She is fiercely loyal to the King of
Attilan.
Ellen Woglom ("Californication") as Undisclosed
Character – smart, intense, and focused—so focused that oftentimes,
social skills take a back seat. Her job at a private aerospace company is her
life, second only to her passion for all things space and lunar. She’s primed
to be swept up in an adventure.
Lockjaw as himself –
Crystal’s 2,000 lb canine companion; he is a two-thousand-pound dog (yes, a
dog!) with the ability to teleport.
"We’re thrilled with this
cast. Eme, Isabelle, Mike, Sonya, and Ellen round out an incredible array of
talent that will finally bring the Royal Family of the Inhumans to IMAX and
ABC," said Executive Producer Jeph Loeb.
"With Eme, Isabelle,
Mike, Sonya, and Ellen portraying the rest of our leading roles, we have a
strong cast that is going to add tremendous depth to our Royal Family," added
executive producer and showrunner, Scott Buck.
The above-mentioned actors
join Anson Mount as Black Bolt, Iwan Rheon as Maximus, Serinda Swan as Medusa,
and Ken Leung as Karnak.
Marvel’s Inhumans, were first
introduced in Marvel Comics by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1965. Since that
time, they have grown in prominence and become some of the most popular and
iconic characters in the Marvel Universe.
Marvel’s Inhumans is executive
produced by Scott Buck ("Dexter," "Marvel’s Iron Fist")
along with Jeph Loeb ("Marvel’s Daredevil") and Jim Chory
("Marvel’s Jessica Jones," "Marvel’s Luke Cage") with Buck
serving as showrunner.
Roel Reine ("Black
Sails") will direct the first two episodes of the new series.
