Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

The cast for ABC’s latest Marvel series, Inhumans, is beginning to gather.

Misfits and Game of Thrones star Iwan Rheon has been cast as Maximus. The show will explore the never-before-told epic adventure of Black Bolt and the royal family. In the series, Maximus is a clever and charming Inhuman that is fiercely devoted to the people of Attilan, especially his brother, the King – although he harbours an intense desire to wear the crown himself.

“Iwan’s ability to be charming, roguish, and still completely unexpectedly dangerous were all the different sides we needed to bring the character to life. We’re thrilled to have him on board,” Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel Television and Executive Producer explained.

Executive producer and showrunner, Scott Buck added: “Maximus is a complex character. Likable, charming, tragic and villainous all in the same moment, and I’m very excited to have someone of Iwan’s considerable talent.”

The show will premiere its opening two episodes in IMAX theatres in September before the series begins on ABC.
