            It seems that yet another star from the hit HBO program Game of Thrones is joining the MCU, the only issue is that the star is a tad hard to root for. According to Collider, Iwan Rheon who is best known for playing the evil bastard Ramsay Bolton on Thrones, will star in the upcoming Inhumans series that will be broadcast on ABC.

            Rheon will play Maximus, who according to Marvel.com is “a clever and charming Inhuman that is fiercely devoted to the people of Attilan, especially his brother, the King – although he harbors an intense desire to wear the crown himself.” This seems like perfect casting as Rheon truly was an absolute menace of evil as Ramsay. As threatening as Rheon was for HBO, I’m ecstatic to see how he’ll be as a villain in the MCU. Inhumans feels as if it will shy further away from its ABC counterpart, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. as it’s a limited series with just one director helming the show. Even more exciting is that the show will be filmed on IMAX cameras and the first two episodes will hit IMAX theaters in the Fall before moving to broadcast.

            How do you guys feel about Iwan Rheon being cast as the villain going against Black Bolt and the Inhumans? Do you think that this is perfect casting or is there someone else you would’ve liked to see inhabit the role of Maximus? Comment below and let us know!
