3. A Compelling Villain
Iwan Rheon is a powerhouse whose evil defined Game of Thrones. He’s the perfect casting for Maximus the Mad. It’s his voice that we hear in the teaser trailer asking if Inhumans want to have power and rise up. It will be this revolution against the King, his brother Black Bolt, that will define the series.
While Maximus has his own abilities, the other Inhumans have a prejudice against him because he looks normal. Much like on Agents of SHIELD, appearance and looks plays a key factor in how the Inhumans are treated. Maximus’ unfair treatment at the hands of the others makes him a slightly more sympathetic villain than we are used to seeing. The Inhumans should play with our emotions and make us question just who is right and who is wrong.
