9 Most Compelling Theories About Upcoming Marvel Movies
8. The Terrigen Mists Are Unleashed By Doctor Strange
The pressure is really on the Inhumans to be a big hit for Marvel, both on screen and on the page. The publisher has been positioning these magically evolved humans as a replacement for the X-Men, because they don't own the film rights to them; meanwhile, the characters are a big part of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., building up to a solo film in 2019.
The introduction of the concept in S.H.I.E.L.D. suggests a lot of foundations are being laid in preparation of the Inhumans movie, and rumour has it they might be a big part of either the upcoming Doctor Strange or Avengers: Infinity War films. Many Inhumans are regular people, unaware of their potential, until activated by a mystical “Terrigen Mist”.
It's the mist that turns those regular people into fully-fledged Inhumans, with wacky powers and appearances, and some reckon that Doctor Strange will use his mystical prowess to unleashed it across the Earth in the face of impending attack by Thanos. The world will need all the super-people it can get to fight the Mad Titan after all.
