Thanks. I was worried there for a moment.He's referring to a run AFTER Hickman's run, which is indeed one of the best FF runs ever written.
Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

- Start date
I've actually been wanting to re-read Hickman's FF run again now that Secret Wars is over, which was the climax of not only his Avengers story but also his FF story in some ways. It'll flow so much better reading it all at once rather than week to week.
My only complaint about Hickman's work is that it's very cold and intellectual, it's rarely goofy or fun. As such, his story tends to revolve around Reed and Doom. But it's brilliant stuff.

I quickly stopped reading once Hickman left. The Mark Millar run (which preceeded Hickman) was also really good, though it was a very weak ending. As I recall the artist had a death in the family so they prematurely left the title and wrapped up the story prematurely.
As stated above, it's just unscheduled at the moment. Nobody's saying it's been cancelled, not officially, anyway.
Although personally I wouldn't mind if they abandoned the movie plans and just let Agents of SHIELD handle the Inhumans narrative. Let them bring in the royal family as characters on the show, or maybe spin off an Inhumans TV series with Daisy/Quake starring alongside Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, Karnak, etc. Okay, doing Lockjaw on a TV budget would be tricky, but hey, The Flash managed to do Grodd and King Shark.
They could get a lot of mileage out of making the Inhumans a Netflix of TV show. Flash and Legends of Tomorrow make out ok, and they have more episodes per season.
The Inhuman royal family (Black Bolt, Medusa, Crystal, Maximus, Karnack, Gorrgon, Lockjaw, Triton), Quake (whose a SHIELD agents in the comics, cartoons and the AoS show) and Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan) are the only Inhumans who matter.

I imagine that the major Inhuman characters would stay tied up with the film project even if it falls into development hell.
I think I'd also prefer they just drop the movie and bring the Inhuman Royal Family into AoS. After so much of a focus on the Inhumans, I found it a little annoying that we were going to have to wait years to see the most famous Inhumans in a project that was probably going to have very little to do with the show.
Oh, I didn't realize they were an empire that controlled multiple planets like that. Did we see any obviously non-Xandarian Nova Corps members?
There's this guy, a Nova pilot with yellow-green skin. And there was the alien prison guard who stole Quill's Walkman -- the Kyln was a Nova-run facility, so I suppose he counts. And the Wiki article says that Quill mentioned dating an A'askavariian in Nova Records.
Plus there was Jones from White Collar. Do moonlighting FBI agents count?
While the closest comparison I can think of to the Inhumans would basically be a sci-fi Game of Thrones, Marvel television doesn't have the budget to do it justice. They could probably pull off Medusa's hair, but they aren't going to have a realistic looking man with goat legs as a series regular without killing the budget. Short of just using a very large dog, I have no idea how they can pull of Lockjaw. Grodd's guest appearances nearly kill the Flash budget.
So I guess there is a chance we could see human/Terran members of the Nova Corps then.
The 'Marvel swapped X-Men TV rights for the FF' rumour's popped up again. With extra Surfer, Galactus and Doom...

Cool if true, but of course it's not confirmed yet.
I'm still unsure whether I ever want to see the Trank FF movie. It's available at my local library, so I wouldn't have to spend any money for it (beyond the cost of the electricity to operate my TV and DVD player), but I keep looking at it on the shelf and hesitating and deciding my morbid curiosity isn't quite that strong yet. (Ditto with Terminator Genisys.)
I've seen both. There's bits of both that I like (admittedly not many) and I have no idea which one's least worst. You could just watch both - I'd be interested in your take on them !
Edit : On reflection, I'd probably rather watch FF again if I had to.
Also, if the FF film did fill the slot formerly reserved for the Inhumans movie, I wouldn't be very surprised if there wasn't some sort of Inhumans thing factored in.

That article is from October.
I'll remain hopeful, but that's not a recent rumor or even a particularly fresh one.
I can almost believe that purely based on the Galactus & Doom aspects. One of Marvel's more consistent problems with their films is weak villains and I can buy they're willing to go quite a ways to get back two of their big ones.
Galactus in particular since once they're finally done with Thanos, who else can compare in terms of a cosmic threat? Not that I think they'll do anything like that right out of the gate after Infinity War, but eventually they're going to have to circle back to the *big* cosmic stuff and that'll be a lot easier with the devourer of worlds at their disposal.

The Galactus, Surfer and Doom bit is an update. Still only a rumour, but what else could Fox have offered Marvel ?
