Some were beginning to speculate that Marvel’s Inhumans had been cancelled due some promotional material that was referring to the first season as the complete series.
Well, ABC has reached out to us regarding that story, saying:
Hello – We noticed the below story on ScreenGeek regarding a poster for “Marvel’s Inhumans.” Please be advised on background that this is the same promotional verbiage we’ve been using throughout our campaign, as this is not a new poster.
So, there you have it. Marvel’s Inhumans may be a disaster so far critically, but it doesn’t appear that all is lost for the show in terms of it ever getting a second season.
The cast and director of the show have responded to the show’s negative reviews in the past, stating:
“We’re kind of just loosely based on the comics. I think maybe the source of some of the mixed reactions to the little that people have seen so far [is that] there are a lot of people that love the comics, they’ve been around for decades, and it remains to be seen how people will accept something that is its own iteration of something that’s already beloved.”
The show’s director added:
“I was mixed about the first trailer as well. I felt like it didn’t give you the scope, it didn’t give you a lot of secrets or visual effects. I felt it was a little bit too early because the visual effects were not ready – Medusa’s hair was not ready. So I was really nervous about it and would think the fans would not really like it. When I watched the first trailer I was like ‘ooosh’. But me as a filmmaker, as a director, you’re not involved with the marketing part of these things. The trailer was made by other people, so I was really nervous about it when I saw it. So I was like, “oh guys maybe we should hold off,” but it was too late because it was already in the open.”
Marvel’s Inhumans premieres on ABC September 29th.
