To be fair, it’s entirely possible Anson Mount is playing coy and wants to keep any future Inhuman appearances a secret. It wouldn’t be the first time actors downplayed their roles in future superhero movies. Remember when Andrew Garfield definitely wasn’t coming back as Peter Parker for “Spider-Man: No Way Home?” But there’s a good chance Mount hasn’t signed anything because nothing’s been confirmed for “Secret Wars” at this time. The film hasn’t begun casting yet.
In October 2022, it was announced Michael Waldron, who previously worked on “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” would write the script for “Avengers: Secret Wars.” No plot details have emerged, although it’s been rumored “Secret Wars” could be split into two movies. Between numerous cameos that will inevitably factor into the story and needing to do justice to the mainline MCU characters, having two films may be the way to go. Either way you split it, it would appear the story’s still being ironed out, so there’s probably no way of knowing if there would even be space for the Inhumans.
To meet that 2027 release date, “Secret Wars” would probably need to start filming in 2025. More clarity may come later about who is and isn’t in the movie, so for now, beware of scoopers who may not necessarily have all the facts right.
