Black Bolt is one of the characters extensively rumoured to appear in ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ as a member of the Illuminati.

Who are the Illuminati?

Tony Stark formed the Illuminati, a super-powerful group. Tony assembled Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Namor, Dr Strange, and Professor X after the Kree-Skrull War. Each of them represents a distinct group that acquired their powers in different ways. 

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ is expected to feature a number of cameos, and Black Bolt might be one of them.

It’s been reported that Anson Mount will play Black Bolt in Doctor Strange 2. Mount was last seen in the film ‘Inhumans'( a race of superhumans, as a result of extraterrestrial experiments). The series was added to the list of failed Marvel series when it failed to impress both audiences and critics.

Many fans would agree that Anson Mount’s portrayal of the character was one of the few positive aspects of the show.

There is no word on whether Anson Mount, who played Black Bolt in the Inhumans series, will reprise his role in Doctor Strange 2.

Bolt is King Agon’s and Queen Rynda’s son. Bolt was exposed to Terrigen Mist while still in the womb, a mutation that strengthens one’s body and grants them superpowers.

As a result, Bolt evolved a voice capable of wreaking havoc and destroying everything. Bolt’s brother Maximus imprisoned him in a bullet-proof chamber so that he would ultimately lose his voice and its skills, forcing Bolt to leave Attilan and explore the outside world, which led him to Earth.

Black Bolt has the ability to produce a voice that is akin to a nuclear weapon. Black Bolt’s capacity to harness electrons is tied to his brain’s speech centre. Any attempt to activate his vocal cords causes an uncontrollable disturbance capable of ejecting enough energy to level mountains.

Black Bolt, like Captain Marvel, possesses a level of strength that much surpasses that of any normal human. He transfers electrons into his body via antennae on his head, increasing his strength to an extreme level. Black Bolt was formerly thought to be a “close second” to the Hulk in the comics.

One of Black Bolt’s primary abilities is the ability to harness electrons. He is the Inhumans’ chief geneticist. Black Bolt, like Magneto, has the ability to float himself and other items. Black Bolt can fly and battle Quicksilver with the help of electron manipulation.
