    Groot aside, I'd guess playing a mute (by choice) superhero is the perfect Marvel role for him. :-)

    yeah... vin's acting ability leaves something to be desired... except when he's a tree or a robot...

    i know next to nothing about the Inhumans... time to read up!

    YOWZA!

    All the cgi hair in the world wouldn't be able to drag my eyes from her true "super powers."

    Horseshit.

    Once again, the quality of the performance and the quality of the project is confused.

    Vin Diesel is a decent actor. He's just usually cast in crappy films. Watch him in Saving Private Ryan, he's quite good.

    I think if he's cast as Black Bolt, his charm will be on par with Chris Pratt's, despite the lack of clever dialogue.

    I agree. Diesel only needs a good script and good director. He could have played Draxx as well as Batista if they'd have let him.

    I'd be all over an Inhumans movie. It's weird, just a couple of years ago it looked like Marvel was going to end the cosmic line entirely with the cancelation of Guardians and Nova to be replaced only by the bad Defenders book. I felt like I was the only person in the world still interested in Marvel cosmic. And now? Mainstream movies, cosmic is front and center in the comics....

    But we can't get a Wonder Woman movie.

    Vin Diesel is great in Boiler Room.

    I don't know if there's an Essential Inhumans trade or not, but I'd suggest finding their first appearances by Lee and Kirby in Fantastic Four -- I don't recall offhand which issues or in which trades they've been collected -- and then get the Marvel Masterworks collection which collects their first series as a back-up in Thor (still by Lee & Kirby), a Medusa solo story by Archie Goodwin and Gene Colan, and their second series (from Amazing Adventures) by various creators (Jack Kirby, Roy Thomas, Neal Adams, Mike Sekowsky).

    Those will give you a grounding on their origins and place in the classic Marvel Universe before you get into the more recent appearances.

    We all owe Kevin Feige a great deal for churning out so many quality movies over such a period.

    I hope the bubble doesn't burst anytime soon.

    In all seriousness ... I'd go with Wikipedia. I took a multi-decade break from comics and Wikipedia has been invaluable to me in catching up.

    Also, the recent "Inhumanity" storyline ("Inhumanity," "Inhumanity: Awakening," and "Inhuman") would make a convenient jumping on point.

    I've been begging for an Inhumans Essential for years! The early FF appearances and first series would fit perfect in the Essentials format. A no-brainer for Marvel... instead we get Dazzler.

    Be careful stating that...some people around here find that method to be blasphemy. You'll end up on the naughty list!

    I’ve been thinking a lot about how Marvel launched the Inhuman stuff, and it really feels like they stumbled out of the gate and haven’t recovered. They built up that this would be a big deal, with special covers, and massive tie-ins and spinning out of Infinity, but then they couldn’t come to terms with matt Fraction, and things just….didn’t happen.

    I was looking forward to it, simply because I feel it’s one of Kirby’s untapped ideas at Marvel, and most times when they use the Inhumans, they fall back on the old “Maximus the Mad has taken over!” story, which was tired by the time they got their own series in the 70’s. It’s SUCH a rich setup, and so many interesting characters, but it’s almost as if it is cursed, since every time they get a series, it falls apart going back to the solo run in Amazing Adventures being by Kirby…and he went ahead and signed with DC as he was working on it.

    They may have to do something big to get people to pay attention if they are really going to launch the characters.

    I don't like that the Essential Line is pretty much dead, but I wouldn't mind seeing an Epic Collection of the Inhumans. They are more expensive than Essentials, but you can't find color reprints for much cheaper.

    I hear you. I LOVE the Essentials, can't beat the bang for the buck. If it comes out in Essentials, I'll pretty much buy it. Essentials was tailored just for me, most of the line was stuff that was out just before (or at the beginning) of my getting into Marvel. Can't get enough of them... and I (almost) prefer the black and white format, especially for the Kirby and Ditko stuff.

    I was really wanting Marvel to release Essentials for;
    Inhumans
    Nick Fury - Agent of SHIELD
    Eternals (although I got tired of waiting and bought the Omnibus a while back).
    Champions

    Or read the novel before seeing the movie.

    I'm still trying to figure out how @Pants somehow manages to watch ANY comic movie trailers and avoid all spoilers. Does he close his eyes and plug his ears in the theater the moment he realizes it's a trailer for a comic property? Admirable or odd, it's proven to be effective I suppose.

    As someone who had seen a movie or two with him; yes he does. He's virtually in a mental deprivation tank!
