Further to creator Stan Lee confirming Marvel Studios is developing a motion picture based on "The Inhumans", based on a screenplay by Joe Robert Cole, it now looks as though actor Vin Diesel, who voices 'Groot' in Marvel's "Guardians Of The Galaxy", will play the role of the silent but deadly 'Black Bolt', leader of the group:
"The Inhumans", created by writer Lee and illustrator/co-plotter Jack Kirby, debuted in Marvel's "Fantastic Four" #45 (December 1965).
Millions of years ago, at the beginning of the alien 'Kree'-'Skrull' war, the Kree set up an observation station on the planet Uranus, to observe sentient life on Earth that had genetic potential.
The Kree then began to experiment on homo sapiens by splicing 'Eternals' DNA into 'Cro-Magnons', to investigate ways of circumventing their own evolutionary stagnation, while creating a powerful strain of soldiers for protection against the Skrulls.

Their test subjects, that became to be known as the 'Inhumans', formed their own society, thriving in seclusion from the rest of humanity, developing their own advanced technology, including the mutagenic 'Terrigen Mist' which gave them superpowers.
Once led by the dethroned 'Unspoken', the Inhumans king is the mute noble 'Black Bolt'.
His royal family includes 'Medusa', 'Karnak', 'Gorgon', 'Triton', 'Crystal', 'Maximus the Mad' and the canine 'Lockjaw'.
