From left to right, Eme Ikwuakor as Gorgon, Ken Leung as Karnak, Anson Mount as Black Bolt, Serinda Swan as Medusa, Isabelle Cornish as Crystal, and Iwan Rheon as Maximus.

Living secretly, for the most part, among their fellow man, the Inhumans forge their own destiny as a separate society and sometimes even Earth’s protectors. The Royal Family of the Inhumans guides their people as well as sets standards and laws by which they live.
Black Bolt will be played by Anson Mount, Medusa will be played by Serinda Swan, Maximus will be played by Iwan Rheon, Karnak will be played by Ken Leung, Gorgon will be played by Eme Ikwuakor, Crystal will be played by Isabelle Cornish, Triton will be played by Mike Moh, Auran will be played by Sonya Balmores, the mysterious character will be played by Ellen Woglom and Lockjaw will play himself.
