Anson Mount seems to have redeemed himself as Black Bolt after appearing in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Fans are currently campaigning for his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with many hoping Marvel Studios soft reboot ABC’s Inhumans series to retain Mount as the King of Inhumans.
Doctor Strange 2 exploring Earth-838’s Illuminati as a result of Wanda’s (Elizabeth Olsen) interference in the Multiverse has many excited for what lies ahead in Phase 4, possibly setting up a Secret Wars adaptation – the next big “Infinity Saga” type culmination. But currently, a big road lies ahead with the main continuity yet to establish the Fantastic Four as well as Inhumans. Though the latter’s earlier iteration was as big as a failure as Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four – seeing Black Bolt in a new light has made him a fan favorite. Readers can check out reactions below.

Anson Mount as Black Bolt was my favorite part of the Inhumans television series. 🙂 You could really tell that he enjoyed portraying that character, and I think he did an amazing job. pic.twitter.com/iiviBFSwCD

I love how Anson Mount has become beloved by comic book Twitter overnight

The Illuminati scene was definitely a social experiment by Kevin Feige to see if people wanted John Krasinski and Patrick Stewart as the MCU Mr Fantastic and Professor X.
The end result is that everyone likes inhumans now and want Anson Mount as Black Bolt again.

It's because people are finally realizing that Anson Mount is a great actor and was pitifully wasted in Inhumans and deserved better. Hope he comes back in some capacity. https://t.co/kFVUrR1Ugu

This here. Anson Mount was the most memorable part of Inhumans and I am extremely glad I watched it.
I kept watching Disco just for him and I am loving him in #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds not just because of his presence, but by how he brings everyone else in the cast to the fore https://t.co/xFjuu4AVVR

This is a return I can get behind
Anson Mount deserves better than what the inhumans show gave him https://t.co/0Iowhp35ZA

Inhumans wasn't good overall. It's okay to admit that. But you know who was good in it? Anson Mount. https://t.co/83pUwT0VOz

The Inhumans TV show had a lot of problems, but Anson Mount was never one of them. https://t.co/4zFmGmhlZl

Marvel is on a roll in reviving superhero characters that were once considered a failed adaptation, like Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The tick, tick…BOOM! star’s performance in Jon Watts’ Spidey threequel convinced fans enough to start a whole new movement (MakeTASM3) to see his character’s arc completed. Prior, MCU pundits were pushing for the revival of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Marvel Studios/Sony flabbergasted viewers with a surprising brief cameo of Cox’s Matt Murdock in No Way Home.
It’s fair to say the studio has been hearing fans’ pleas and delivering what they desire, if not, John Krasinski’s Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic may never come to fruition. One can only hope Kevin Feige is all ears to audiences’ wish to see Mount’s Black Bolt in Earth-616. But recent signs suggest there may be no plans to explore Inhumans at present, especially since the upcoming Ms. Marvel series is skipping the character’s connection to the Kree race.
Mount recently earned praises for his performance as Captain Christopher Pike in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Though his rising popularities is making fans revisit the star’s past shows like Hell On Wheels.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is currently in theatres.
