Marvel's 'Inhumans' teaser trailer is definitely channeling 'Game of Thrones'
Watch Next

The first teaser trailer for Marvel's Inhumans has arrived, and it all seems a little reminiscent of Game of Thrones.

That's partially because the villain, Maximus, is played by Iwan Rheon — aka GOT's sadistic Ramsay Bolton — and partly because the ominous teaser sets up a royal conflict between Maximus and his brother, Black Bolt (Anson Mount), the King of the Inhumans.

Much like Marvel's other dysfunctional super-bros, Thor and Loki, Maximus and Black Bolt have very different approaches to leadership, and it sounds like Maximus is done playing second fiddle. We'd guess he's talking to Black Bolt's partner, Medusa (Serinda Swan), who probably isn't too happy with his rabble-rousing.

The first photo of the Inhumans cast didn't inspire much confidence, and the teaser only includes voiceover, so we'll have to wait and see what Marvel's newest team looks like in live action as the show gets closer to its September 1 Imax debut.
