Black Bolt is a staple of Marvel’s Inhumans and actor Anson Mount says the fact that the character’s mute played heavily into his decision to take on the role.
Inhumans premieres in IMAX on September 1, before heading to ABC on September 29.
It’s interesting to hear that zero auditions were held for the role of Black Bolt, with Mount simply being offered the job based on a prior relationship formed with Loeb.
If it’s something that falls flat with viewers, it could bury the Inhumans TV show altogether.
