MCU: 10 Characters That Could Make Up The Illuminati
1. Black Bolt
It tracks that each member of the Illuminati will bring something different, or a unique point of view to the team. Doctor Strange would be the mystic side of things, Professor X will represent mutants, Namor Atlanta, T’Challa Wakanda, but what about a race that has been painfully underutilised in the MCU so far?
Black Bolt, King of the Inhumans will almost certainly have a role to play in the future of the MCU, and as long as we can get away from Anson Mount and the horrendous Marvel’s Inhumans series that barely lasted a first season, his introduction would be a welcome one.
The abilities of Black Bolt are unique, in that his voice has incredibly destructive powers. He is still a feared fighter and ruler, and all without ever having to utter a word. If he does, anything in his wake will be destroyed. Should Doctor Strange be brought before this Inhuman, there could be dire consequences if he doesn’t like the answers to his questions.
There are plenty of actors that could bring the character to life, but with a movie this big, why not go all out? Vin Diesel has expressed his interest in the role previously, but in order to put across such an intimidating figure without uttering a word, do Marvel Studios need to look past Dwayne Johnson? The movie is destined to break the internet already, so why not really go for broke?
