Eternals
is a 2021 American
superhero film
based on the
Marvel Comics
race the
Eternals
. Produced by
Marvel Studios
and distributed by
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
, it is
the 26th film
in the
Marvel Cinematic Universe
(MCU). The film was directed by
Chloé Zhao
, who wrote the screenplay with
Patrick Burleigh
, Ryan Firpo, and
Kaz Firpo
. It stars an
ensemble cast
including
Gemma Chan
,
Richard Madden
,
Kumail Nanjiani
,
Lia McHugh
,
Brian Tyree Henry
,
Lauren Ridloff
,
Barry Keoghan
,
Don Lee
,
Kit Harington
,
Salma Hayek
, and
Angelina Jolie
. In the film, the Eternals are immortal beings who emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the
Deviants
.
In April 2018, Marvel Studios president
Kevin Feige
announced that a film based on the Eternals was in development and would explore the group as
ancient aliens
living throughout human history. Ryan and Kaz Firpo were hired to write the script, and Zhao was set to direct in September. She was given significant creative freedom to rewrite the script, taking particular inspiration from
Terrence Malick
's films, and to use more locations and natural lighting than previous MCU films had. Casting began in early 2019 and Burleigh joined to work on the script ahead of
principal photography
, which took place from July 2019 to February 2020 at
Pinewood Studios
and on location in England and the
Canary Islands
.
Eternals
premiered at the
Dolby Theatre
in
Los Angeles
on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5 as part of
Phase Four
of the MCU. It grossed $402.1 million worldwide and received several awards and nominations, but it also became the first MCU film to not receive generally positive reviews. Particular criticism went to the screenplay and pacing, with commentators feeling it did not live up to Zhao's previous work or to previous MCU films. The themes and visuals received some praise.
In 5000 BC, ten superpowered beings known as
Eternals
—
Ajak
,
Sersi
,
Ikaris
,
Kingo
,
Sprite
,
Phastos
,
Makkari
,
Druig
,
Gilgamesh
, and
Thena
—are sent to Earth by
Arishem
, a
Celestial
, on the
starship
Domo
. They are charged with exterminating invasive entities known as the
Deviants
. After the last Deviants are killed in 1521, the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next 500 years, they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.
In the present, Sersi and Sprite live together in
London
. After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human
Dane Whitman
who works at the
Natural History Museum
. When the trio is attacked by the Deviant
Kro
, Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.
Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the
Emergence
of a new Celestial. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the
apex predators
of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when they evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the recent end of
the Blip
restoring Earth's population,
[
b
]
humankind has reached the necessary size to allow the Celestial
Tiamut
to be born, which will result in Earth's destruction.
Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reunite. At Druig's residence in the
Amazon rainforest
, they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes they use the
Uni-Mind
, a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his
mind-control
abilities. However, Ikaris is loyal to Arishem and refuses to help stop the Emergence. He reveals that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave, agreeing with Ikaris but not wanting to hurt his friends.
Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an
active volcano
in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep, and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into stone. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but is unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind, and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into stone. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. Sersi uses the remaining Uni-Mind energy to turn Sprite into a human, ending her
permanent childlike state
.
Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the
Domo
to warn Eternals on other planets of the Emergences. Whitman professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. He vows to return for judgment and takes the trio into a singularity.
In a
mid-credits scene
, Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal
Eros
and his assistant
Pip the Troll
. In a post-credits scene, an unseen person
[

]
questions whether Whitman is ready to wield the
Ebony Blade
.
The cast of
Eternals
at the 2019
San Diego Comic-Con
(L to R): Madden, Nanjiani, Ridloff, Henry, Hayek, McHugh, Lee, and Jolie
Gemma Chan
as
Sersi
:
An empathetic
Eternal
with a strong connection to humanity and the Earth, who can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Sersi has been in love with Ikaris for centuries and has a strong connection with Sprite. In the present day, she is a
museum curator
on Earth and dating Dane Whitman.
[
7
]
[
8
]
Producer
Kevin Feige
said Sersi was the lead character of the film.
[
9
]
Director
Chloé Zhao
said she and Chan were interested in creating the kind of nuanced female superhero that they felt was rarely seen in the genre, and Zhao felt Chan had imbued the character with gentleness, compassion, and vulnerability that would "invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic".
[
7
]
Chan said Sersi was free-spirited and loved being around humans.
[
10
]
Richard Madden
as
Ikaris
:
A powerful Eternal who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes.
[
10
]
Speaking to the relationship between Ikaris and Sersi, Madden said the fact that they had loved each other for centuries showed a "deep level of romance" between the two. They are on opposing sides of how the Eternals connect to the world, with Sersi having compassion for humans while Ikaris is more disconnected.
[
8
]
[
10
]
The biggest struggle for Madden was showing that Ikaris has "seen everything and done everything" without the character coming across as bored.
[
10
]
Zhao's take on Ikaris was influenced by director
Zack Snyder
's
interpretation
of
Superman
in
Man of Steel
(2013) which left a strong impression on her for its "authentic and very real" approach.
[
11
]
Kumail Nanjiani
as
Kingo
:
An Eternal who can create cosmic energy projectiles. Enamored with fame, Kingo becomes a popular
Bollywood
film star to blend in on Earth.
[
8
]
[
12
]
Nanjiani wanted to combine the wisecracking attitude of
John McClane
from the
Die Hard
film series
with the look of Bollywood actor
Hrithik Roshan
.
[
13
]
He studied
Errol Flynn films
and some of the original
Zorro
films
to emulate "old school Hollywood stars whose characters really enjoyed fighting". Nanjiani, who is not a dancer, grew up watching
Bollywood dances
and spent several months training for the film's own such sequence in hopes of capturing the same energy and joy.
[
10
]
He underwent rigorous fitness training to build muscle for the role, despite
Marvel Studios
being happy for him to look "normal", because Nanjiani saw an opportunity to create a South Asian superhero with a comparable physique to Superman and
Thor
.
[
14
]
Nanjiani signed a contract to appear in six films, a video game, and a theme park ride.
[
15
]
Lia McHugh
as
Sprite
:
An Eternal who can project life-like illusions. Sprite is in a
permanent childlike state
, appearing as a young girl despite being thousands of years old. The film explores her struggles with this,
[
8
]
including her jealousy of humans who can grow old, know love, and have families.
[
16
]
She has an unrequited love for Ikaris which Kingo compares to that of
Tinker Bell
for
Peter Pan
. Similarly,
Neil Gaiman
and
John Romita Jr.
's
2006
Eternals
comic book miniseries
compared Sprite to the never-aging Peter Pan and gave them similar short, red hair, which the film also uses. The film ends with Sprite becoming human and being able to grow old.
[
17
]
Brian Tyree Henry
as
Phastos
: An Eternal and an intelligent weapons and technology inventor.
[
10
]
He is the first superhero to be depicted as gay in an MCU film.
[
18
]
Lauren Ridloff
as
Makkari
:
An Eternal who can move at superhuman speed. The character is the first deaf superhero in the MCU.
[
10
]
After starting to run more in anticipation of the role, she shifted to muscle building to have "the symmetry of somebody who looks like a sprinter".
[
10
]
Barry Keoghan
as
Druig
: An aloof Eternal who becomes frustrated with the inaction of the other Eternals in human affairs. He can manipulate the minds of others.
[
10
]
Don Lee
as
Gilgamesh
:
The strongest Eternal, with a deep connection to Thena.
[
10
]
Lee pursued the role to be an inspiration to the younger generation as the first Korean superhero, and was able to use his boxing training for the role.
[
8
]
Kit Harington
as
Dane Whitman
: A human who works at the
Natural History Museum
in London as a history professor and is dating Sersi.
[
8
]
[
19
]
Salma Hayek
as
Ajak
:
The wise and spiritual leader of the Eternals, who has the ability to heal and is the "bridge" between the Eternals and the
Celestials
.
[
10
]
Changing the character from a man in the comics allowed Hayek to lean into Ajak's femininity and make her the "mother figure" of the Eternals.
[
10
]
Hayek was initially hesitant to work with Marvel, assuming she would have a supporting or "grandmother" role.
[
8
]
Angelina Jolie
as
Thena
:
An elite warrior Eternal who can form any weapon out of cosmic energy and develops a close bond with Gilgamesh over the centuries.
[
8
]
[
10
]
She also suffers from a psychological condition called
Mahd Wy'ry
.
[
20
]
Jolie trained with various swords, spears, and staffs for the role, as well as taking ballet.
[
8
]
Additionally,
Bill Skarsgård
provides the voice of
Kro
, one of the
Deviants
,
[
21
]
and
David Kaye
voices the Celestial
Arishem
.
[
22
]
Harish Patel
appears as Karun Patel, Kingo's human
valet
;
[
23
]
Haaz Sleiman
and Esai Daniel Cross respectively portray Phastos's husband Ben and son Jack;
[
24
]
and
Zain Al Rafeea
plays a villager who comes across the Eternals when they first arrive on Earth.
[
25
]
Harry Styles
appears in the
mid-credits scene
as
Eros / Starfox
, the brother of MCU character
Thanos
, while
Patton Oswalt
voices Eros's assistant
Pip the Troll
.
[
26
]
Mahershala Ali
has an uncredited voice-only
cameo
as
Blade
in the post-credits scene ahead of starring in
a planned film
for the character.
[
6
]
In April 2015,
Marvel Television
was working with screenwriter
John Ridley
to craft a new television series for
ABC
, "reinventing" an existing
Marvel Comics
character or property.
[
27
]
This was revealed years later to be the
Eternals
, a race of long-lived superheroes created by
Jack Kirby
.
[
28
]
Ridley said he was trying to make a superhero series that viewers had not seen before, differentiating it from Marvel's other projects,
[
29
]
and said his approach would have been a "really weird story" that may not have been entertaining for everyone. It ultimately did not move forward with Ridley,
[
28
]
and Marvel Television was folded into
Marvel Studios
in December 2019.
[
30
]
Marvel Studios president
Kevin Feige
said in April 2018 that the studio was actively developing a film based on the Eternals, to be released as part of their
Marvel Cinematic Universe
(MCU)
Phase Four
slate of films. Marvel Studios had met with multiple screenwriters and was believed to be focusing on the character
Sersi
in the film.
[
31
]
Marvel set Ryan and
Kaz Firpo
to write the script a month later,
[
32
]
with their outline including a love story between the characters Sersi and
Ikaris
.
[
33
]
The Firpos said the 1999 limited comic book series
Earth X
by
Jim Krueger
and
John Paul Leon
, which is about a
dystopian
version of the
Marvel Universe
, was a major inspiration for them.
[
34
]
In June, Feige said Marvel was interested in exploring the "
ancient aliens
kind of sci-fi trope" by having the Eternals be the inspiration for myths and legends throughout the history of the MCU.
[
35
]
Director
Chloé Zhao
promoting
Eternals
at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con
During late August, Marvel's director search for
Eternals
narrowed to a shortlist that included
Chloé Zhao
—who had also been in the running to direct Marvel's
Black Widow
(2021)—
Nicole Kassell
,
Travis Knight
, and the pair of
Cristina Gallego
and
Ciro Guerra
.
[
33
]
Zhao approached Marvel Studios about making the film as she had been a fan of the MCU. She wanted to work with the studio to bring her own take and
world-building
to the franchise,
[
36
]
and impressed them with a presentation that Feige described as fascinating, with "reams of visuals".
[
37
]
Feige was also impressed with Zhao's passion for the project, since it was not a top priority for the studio.
[
38
]
Zhao worked with producer
Nate Moore
to develop her
pitch
,
[
39
]
noting she became interested in the project after reading its
treatment
that read like a Greek play "where gods get to discuss everything about human nature based on their own relationship".
[
38
]
The presentation left Marvel concerned that she might take on a different big-studio project instead of
Eternals
, forcing them to move quickly to secure her, and Zhao was hired as director in September.
[
33
]
[
40
]
This was ahead of her beginning production on her film
Nomadland
(2020), with Zhao beginning to work on the
Eternals
script during the filming of
Nomadland
.
[
38
]
Zhao hoped to push the scope of the film further than Marvel's
Avengers: Endgame
(2019),
[
37
]
but also wanted it to have intimacy.
[
41
]
Zhao described the film as a melting pot of influences, taking from Kirby's original
Eternals
comics,
Neil Gaiman
's
2006 comic book run
, previous MCU projects, and Zhao's love of science fiction and fantasy films and
manga
.
[
39
]
Speaking specifically to her love of manga, she hoped those influences would create a "marriage of East and West".
[
37
]
Zhao cited the television series
Ancient Aliens
(2009–present), the
Final Fantasy
video game franchise, concepts from
Yuval Noah Harari
's book
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
(2011), and the films of
Terrence Malick
as inspirations.
[
42
]
Marvel saw
Eternals
as an opportunity to create an
ensemble film
that is not a
crossover
, similar to
Guardians of the Galaxy
(2014), and to introduce relatively unknown characters to audiences as they did with the
Guardians
and the
Avengers
.
[
43
]
The studio also considered
Eternals
to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films along with projects such as
Captain Marvel
(2019),
[
40
]
allowing them to cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals.
[
33
]
Moore's initial planning documents for the project included the swapping of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters, and Zhao further advocated for this approach.
[
9
]
In February 2019, Feige reiterated that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning story,
[
43
]
with the film version covering 7,000 years and exploring humanity's place in the cosmos.
[
39
]
Zhao said the Eternals "have lived among us for so long, [they have] the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal freedom versus greater good—all the duality and flaws that make us human". With a story that spans so many years, the characters' relationships evolve like a complex family unit where friends "turn into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship". Zhao considered the Earth to be an eleventh character in the film.
[
8
]
Zhao continued working on a draft of the script throughout early 2019, which built upon the multiple drafts submitted by the Firpos. Approximately four months ahead of filming, the script was not finalized. Moore introduced Zhao to
Patrick Burleigh
, who had been part of Marvel's writers program, in the hopes that Burleigh could assist with the writing. Zhao hired him to work on the screenplay, which he did for about three months ahead of filming. Burleigh believed Zhao needed to write on the film as well as direct to "process the film through her own filter", and said her draft showed that she was "trying to make the Terrence Malick version of a Marvel film"; Zhao cited Malick's film
The Tree of Life
(2011) as a particular inspiration. Burleigh said his work on the script was mostly "structural" to find "the flow of the film", and likened the story to a
road trip film
.
[
44
]
"I wanted it to reflect the world we live in. But also I wanted to put a cast together that feels like a group of misfits. I didn't want the jocks. I want you to walk away at the end of the movie not thinking, 'This person is this ethnicity, that person is that nationality.' No. I want you to walk away thinking, 'That's a family.' You don't think about what they represent."
—Zhao on the diverse cast of the film
[
37
]
Angelina Jolie
joined the cast in March 2019, reportedly as Sersi,
[
45
]
[
46
]
with
Kumail Nanjiani
and
Don Lee
cast in undisclosed roles the next month.
[
46
]
[
47
]
At that time, the film was expected to feature Marvel Studios' first gay superhero.
[
48
]
In May,
Richard Madden
entered negotiations for the role of Ikaris,
[
49
]
and
Salma Hayek
had entered early negotiations for an undisclosed role the following month.
[
50
]
In July,
Variety
reported that the cast included Jolie, Madden, and
Millie Bobby Brown
, but Brown denied that she had been cast.
[
51
]
[
52
]
At the 2019
San Diego Comic-Con
, Feige officially announced
The Eternals
with a release date of November 6, 2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as
Thena
, Nanjiani as
Kingo
, Lee as
Gilgamesh
, Madden as Ikaris, and Hayek as
Ajak
, along with
Lauren Ridloff
as
Makkari
,
Brian Tyree Henry
as
Phastos
, and
Lia McHugh
as
Sprite
.
[
53
]
Zhao looked for actors for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character".
[
8
]
Feige added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character,
[
54
]
with actor
Haaz Sleiman
later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film. Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film. Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous media.
[
18
]
Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story" and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film,
[
37
]
while Sleiman said it was a "thoughtful" depiction.
[
55
]
Eternals
is set around eight months after the events of
Avengers: Endgame
,
[
56
]
and addresses why the Eternals did not interfere in any previous conflicts in the MCU. Both Feige and Moore said the film would have "major ripple effects" on the future of the MCU, and at times, it was "a challenge" to balance the grounded nature of the MCU with the "mythic grandeur" of the Eternals property.
[
8
]
By the time of the film's official announcement in July 2019,
principal photography
had begun at
Pinewood Studios
in
Buckinghamshire
, England.
[
57
]
[
58
]
Ben Davis
served as director of photography, after doing so on several previous MCU films.
[
9
]
[
59
]
Zhao said Marvel Studios allowed her creative freedom to shoot the film on location, "exactly the way [she] wanted to shoot" it. She was able to use a similar style to her previous films, including 360° shots and working with the same camera and rigs as were used for her film
Nomadland
(2020),
[
37
]
which Zhao was set to complete
back-to-back
with
Eternals
.
[
39
]
Zhao felt that she "got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different".
[
37
]
Zhao cited
The Revenant
(2015) as a primary influence when composing the film's action sequences.
[
60
]
Gemma Chan
and
Barry Keoghan
were in talks to join the cast in August 2019.
[
61
]
[
62
]
Chan previously portrayed
Minn-Erva
in
Captain Marvel
, but reports noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate character in this film.
[
61
]
Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for the film to cast.
[
63
]
Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at the
D23 Expo
in August, in the roles of Sersi and
Druig
, respectively, along with
Kit Harington
as
Dane Whitman
.
[
64
]
Chan said she and Marvel Studios were surprised by how soon after
Captain Marvel
her new MCU role came, with both assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.
[
63
]
Harish Patel
was cast at the end of August as
Karun
, Kingo's manager,
[
65
]
[
66
]
and filmed his role from September 2019 until January 2020.
[
65
]
By early November, filming had taken place in the
Canary Islands
. The cast and crew, including Jolie and Madden, had to be evacuated from a shooting location on the island of
Fuerteventura
when an explosive device, thought to be a remnant armament from a Nazi base, was found there.
[
67
]
Later that month,
Zain Al Rafeea
joined the cast.
[
25
]
[
68
]
In early January 2020, filming took place outside the
Oxford University Museum of Natural History
in
Oxford
, England,
[
69
]
as well as
Hampstead Heath
and in
Camden
in London,
[
70
]
[
71
]
under the
working title
Sack Lunch
.
[
71
]
[
72
]
Chan said the filming process felt very different from what she experienced on
Captain Marvel
, explaining that
Eternals
shot more on location and used natural light while
Captain Marvel
had more studio work and bluescreens.
[
63
]
Filming
wrapped
on February 4, 2020.
[
73
]
In March 2020,
Scanline VFX
, one of the companies working on the film's visual effects, confirmed that they would be working remotely due to the
COVID-19 pandemic
.
[
74
]
Industrial Light & Magic
,
Luma Pictures
,
RISE
, and
Weta Digital
also worked on the film's visual effects.

Dylan Tichenor
and
Craig Wood
serve as co-editors of the film.
[

Tichenor said Zhao usually edits her own films and has "strong opinions", but on
Eternals
she was relying on Tichenor and Wood due to the size of the production and the ongoing awards season for
Nomadland
. Tichenor added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback and were still working on the editing in April 2021.
[
81
]
At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film was in its "final stretch",
[

and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the film, after previously starring in Zhao's film
Songs My Brothers Taught Me
(2015).

At the end of May 2021, with the release of the first teaser trailer and poster for the film, the official writing credits were revealed: Zhao was credited as the screenwriter, both as a solo contributor and as part of a writing team with Burleigh, while Ryan and Kaz Firpo received story credit.

Moore believed the studio had "bit off as much as we could chew" with the film, creating one that "felt urgent and present and had [a fast] pace, but also took time to reflect back over the centuries".

At the film's world premiere, Matt Donnelly of
Variety
tweeted
that
Harry Styles
made an appearance in a
post-credits scene
as
Eros / Starfox
,
Thanos
's brother in the comics, which was not shown in early press screenings of the film.
[

Zhao later revealed that she "kept tabs on [Styles]" since his appearance in the film
Dunkirk

WWE
wrestler
Becky Lynch
had a role in the film for a planned post-credits scene that was intended to set up a future project. The scene was removed for being reportedly "too depressing".

[

Though the footage was limited and "vague", Hoai-Tran Bui at
/Film
still felt it was "very exciting".
[
93
]
Chaim Gartenberg of
The Verge
felt one of the biggest moments of the footage was seeing Jolie wielding a sword made of light. He was also encouraged that
Eternals
appeared to be one of Marvel's first films to "deliver on [their] years-long promise of creating films with more diverse casts".
[

Nerdist
's
Michael Arbeiter said the footage was quick, but felt that it "manages an air of wonderment".
[

The first teaser for the film was released on May 24, 2021. Gartenberg felt the teaser was light on plot elements, with it instead focusing on the "civilization-spanning scope of the superhero team and its members throughout human history". He also believed the film was "a big swing" from Marvel Studios to entice audiences with a lesser-known comics property, but believed that it would succeed due to its diverse cast of well-known actors and Zhao's status as "one of the most exciting directors around".

Charlies Pulliam-Moore felt the trailer was a "multiple millennia-spanning recap of Earth's history", and said it was unclear how much the larger MCU would impact on the film outside of a brief reference to the Avengers at the end of the trailer.
[
95

Writing for
Entertainment Weekly
, Nick Romano felt the teaser was a combination of "thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments" and some jokes.
[
96
]
Erik Adams of
The A.V. Club
felt the spot teased some fresh angles for the MCU in a similar way to
Thor: Ragnarok
(2017) and
Guardians of the Galaxy
(2014), and he enjoyed the images of Kingo's Bollywood dance, Sprite performing karaoke, and the end scene of the Eternals eating together and joking about the Avengers.
[
97

After seeing the teaser,
Variety
's
Adam B. Vary described the film as "unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film.
[

]
Adele Ankers of
IGN
discussed the poster that was released at the same time as the trailer, highlighting how the Eternals appear in silhouette against a sunlit background which she described as "another taste of Chloé Zhao's signature filming style and the use of natural light to illuminate a frame" that would be seen in the film.
[
98
]
Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one trending video on
YouTube
and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24 hours.
[
99
]
Disney's president of marketing Asad Ayaz said the teaser was designed to just be an introduction to the characters and tone and not give much of the film away, adding the marketing team would be "very judicious" on when more material would be revealed, while also using the releases of
Black Widow
and
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
before
Eternals
to help expose audiences to the characters.
[

]
The final trailer was released in August 2021, with Ethan Shanfeld and Manori Ravindran of
Variety
feeling it was "more serious in tone" than the teaser with the Eternals "grappling with the prospect of emerging after centuries living apart in order to help humans".
[

Entertainment Weekly
's
Devan Coggan felt that the trailer was the "best glimpse yet" of the film and gave a "sense of the vast scale and scope of the film", while answering "one important question" about the absence of the Eternals during the conflict against
Thanos
in
Avengers: Infinity War
and
Avengers: Endgame
.
[
102
]
Aaron Couch at
The Hollywood Reporter
said the trailer "reveals much of [the film's] plot as well as its characters' powers, teasing the answers to key questions about who the Eternals answer to, their relationship to Earth and why they ultimately didn't intervene" in the conflict against Thanos.

In May 2021, a Chinese state media report excluded
Eternals
, as well as
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
, from its list of upcoming MCU films releasing, which
Variety
noted "added to rumors" that the films would not be released in China, especially since Zhao had become "an unexpected
persona non grata
" in the country after she was scrutinized by Chinese
netizens
over her remarks in a 2013 interview with
Filmmaker
magazine in which she described China as "a place where there are lies everywhere".
[

[

By September 2021,
Deadline Hollywood
reported it remained "an open question" if the Chinese government or Zhao would attempt to "rehabilitate" the situation, but it "seems likely" the film would not be released in China following the country's response to
Nomadland
as well as
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
likely not being released in the country either following backlash to comments made by star
Simu Liu

The film was not released in
Saudi Arabia

Kuwait

Qatar
,
Bahrain
and
Oman
due to the depiction of a gay couple. Theaters in the
United Arab Emirates
,
Jordan
,
Lebanon

Egypt

[
116

Angelina Jolie criticized the countries' decision to ban the film, saying: "I'm sad for [those audiences]. And I'm proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don't understand how we live in a world today where there's still [people who] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn't approve or appreciate it is ignorant."
[
117
]
Lebanese actor
Haaz Sleiman
, who played Phastos' husband Ben in the film, also voiced the same reaction towards the matter: "They stood their ground and said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film.' It made these Arab countries looks [
sic
] so ignorant and pathetic. I have no respect for those governments. They have displayed to the world that they are not only a disgrace to humanity, but to God. Hopefully this will inspire the Saudi people, the Kuwaiti people and the people in Qatar to fight back."

Marvel later agreed to cut any kind of love scenes, including the gay couple kiss for the film's release in
Indonesia

Oliver Jones of the

Owen Gleiberman
was disappointed over Zhao's missing filmmaking style that shaped her films
The Rider
(2017) and
Nomadland
(2020) to "embrace the straight-up expository conventionality of Marvel filmmaking", but felt that the film was a "squarely fun and gratifying watch".
[
151
]
Moira Macdonald of
The Seattle Times
thought "it's got some pretty slow spots midfilm and it's desperately in need of a bit more wit ... what it does have is a palpable, artful mood; this is a movie full of superheroes who spend time thinking and feeling, and of special effects that aren't just zippy but often delicately elegant".
[
152
]
Linda Marric of
The Jewish Chronicle
described it as "a mishmash of well-meaning, yet jarringly verbose and bafflingly incoherent nonsense which is only just about saved by some half decent performances";
[
153
]
Nicholas Barber of
BBC Culture
called Zhao's direction "workmanlike";
[
154

and Clarisse Loughrey of
The Independent
said that it "strives for the same expansive soulfulness" as
Nomadland
"but discovers there's room enough only for the occasional burst of it".

Brian Truitt of
USA Today
praised Zhao's "penchant for naturalistic environments", but wrote that the narrative "struggles to juggle its many subplots and tries to do too much".

Mark Kennedy of the
Associated Press
criticized the dialogue and fight scenes, but praised the visual effects and Nanjiani's performance.

Shirley Li of

felt that "Zhao's delicate examination of her characters outshines
Eternals
'
duller and more convoluted moments".
[

Robbie Collin

[
159
]
Kevin Maher
felt "a strange self-sabotaging energy at the heart";
[
160

and Steve Rose of
The Guardian
missed "the breezy wit of Marvel's best movies ... like coming into
Avengers: Endgame
cold without having seen any of the preceding installments".
[
161
]
K. Austin Collins of
Rolling Stone
felt that the film was "good at telling us where to look, at impressing us with its manufactured sense of grandeur", but lacked "any credible sense of what's actually worth seeing".
[
162

Justin Chang
of the
Los Angeles Times
had a "depressing realization that you've just seen one of the more interesting movies Marvel will ever make, and hopefully the least interesting one Chloé Zhao will ever make".
[

Brian Lowry of
CNN
thought "the movie's structural flaws offset its stunning visuals and strong performances".
[
164

Kyle Smith
of
National Review
was harsher, describing it as "one of the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite, and least human" of the MCU films.
[
165
]
The mixed reception surprised some commentators, given the MCU's positive track record and the acclaim of Zhao's previous work. Richard Newby of
The Hollywood Reporter
wrote that "much of the criticism of Kirby's work", which was divisive for its subject matter and relationship to the wider
Marvel Universe
, "has followed Zhao in her adaptation." He compared the divided response to that of Zack Snyder's
DC Extended Universe
(DCEU) films
Man of Steel
and
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
(2016), writing that they and
Eternals
share "a deconstructive approach to superheroes and force them to question their purpose in the world, through meditative and melancholy narrative beats, and a tragic yet hopeful ending." This approach, he felt, subverted critics' and audiences' expectations, which made them review the film more harshly.
[
166
]
Zhao addressed some of the criticisms of the film, believing some of the division came from everyone "having an existential crisis" because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the film being an "existential crisis, both for humanity and God". She also felt the reactions to how the film incorporated her filmmaking sensibilities with Marvel's were "a testament to how much we had merged with each other; how uncomfortable that might make people feel".

The next month, Kaz and Ryan Firpo expressed interest in making a prequel series for Disney+ that would focus on one Eternal in a different time period each episode, such as an episode about Thena in Ancient Greece and one about Kingo in 1890s Mumbai where he balances his life as a film star with
Mahatma Gandhi

***Eternals*** is a 2021 American [superhero film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero_film "Superhero film") based on the [Marvel Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Comics "Marvel Comics") race the [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\) "Eternals (comics)"). Produced by [Marvel Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Studios "Marvel Studios") and distributed by [Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_Motion_Pictures "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures"), it is [the 26th film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_films "List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films") in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe "Marvel Cinematic Universe") (MCU). The film was directed by [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao"), who wrote the screenplay with [Patrick Burleigh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Burleigh "Patrick Burleigh"), Ryan Firpo, and [Kaz Firpo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaz_Firpo "Kaz Firpo"). It stars an [ensemble cast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_cast "Ensemble cast") including [Gemma Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemma_Chan "Gemma Chan"), [Richard Madden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Madden "Richard Madden"), [Kumail Nanjiani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumail_Nanjiani "Kumail Nanjiani"), [Lia McHugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_McHugh "Lia McHugh"), [Brian Tyree Henry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tyree_Henry "Brian Tyree Henry"), [Lauren Ridloff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Ridloff "Lauren Ridloff"), [Barry Keoghan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Keoghan "Barry Keoghan"), [Don Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Dong-seok "Ma Dong-seok"), [Kit Harington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Harington "Kit Harington"), [Salma Hayek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salma_Hayek "Salma Hayek"), and [Angelina Jolie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie "Angelina Jolie"). In the film, the Eternals are immortal beings who emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviants_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").
In April 2018, Marvel Studios president [Kevin Feige](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Feige "Kevin Feige") announced that a film based on the Eternals was in development and would explore the group as [ancient aliens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_alien "Ancient alien") living throughout human history. Ryan and Kaz Firpo were hired to write the script, and Zhao was set to direct in September. She was given significant creative freedom to rewrite the script, taking particular inspiration from [Terrence Malick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Malick "Terrence Malick")'s films, and to use more locations and natural lighting than previous MCU films had. Casting began in early 2019 and Burleigh joined to work on the script ahead of [principal photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography "Principal photography"), which took place from July 2019 to February 2020 at [Pinewood Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinewood_Studios "Pinewood Studios") and on location in England and the [Canary Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands "Canary Islands").
*Eternals* premiered at the [Dolby Theatre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Theatre "Dolby Theatre") in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles") on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5 as part of [Phase Four](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe:_Phase_Four "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four") of the MCU. It grossed \$402.1 million worldwide and received several awards and nominations, but it also became the first MCU film to not receive generally positive reviews. Particular criticism went to the screenplay and pacing, with commentators feeling it did not live up to Zhao's previous work or to previous MCU films. The themes and visuals received some praise.
## Plot
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(film\)&action=edit§ion=1 "Edit section: Plot")\]
In 5000 BC, ten superpowered beings known as [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)")—[Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Phastos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phastos_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Druig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druig_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Gilgamesh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), and [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)")—are sent to Earth by [Arishem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arishem_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Arishem (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), a [Celestial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestials_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Celestials (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), on the [starship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship "Starship") *[Domo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Domo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)")*. They are charged with exterminating invasive entities known as the [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviants_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"). After the last Deviants are killed in 1521, the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next 500 years, they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.
In the present, Sersi and Sprite live together in [London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London "London"). After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human [Dane Whitman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Whitman_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") who works at the [Natural History Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_History_Museum,_London "Natural History Museum, London"). When the trio is attacked by the Deviant [Kro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kro_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kro (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.
Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the [Emergence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Emergence (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") of a new Celestial. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the [apex predators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apex_predator "Apex predator") of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when they evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the recent end of [the Blip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blip "The Blip") restoring Earth's population,[\[b\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-7) humankind has reached the necessary size to allow the Celestial [Tiamut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamut_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Tiamut (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") to be born, which will result in Earth's destruction.
Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reunite. At Druig's residence in the [Amazon rainforest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rainforest "Amazon rainforest"), they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes they use the [Uni-Mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni-Mind_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Uni-Mind (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his [mind-control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwashing "Brainwashing") abilities. However, Ikaris is loyal to Arishem and refuses to help stop the Emergence. He reveals that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave, agreeing with Ikaris but not wanting to hurt his friends.
Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an [active volcano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_volcano "Active volcano") in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep, and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into stone. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but is unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind, and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into stone. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. Sersi uses the remaining Uni-Mind energy to turn Sprite into a human, ending her [permanent childlike state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puer_aeternus "Puer aeternus").
Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the *Domo* to warn Eternals on other planets of the Emergences. Whitman professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. He vows to return for judgment and takes the trio into a singularity.
In a [mid-credits scene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-credits_scene "Mid-credits scene"), Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal [Eros](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eros (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") and his assistant [Pip the Troll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Pip (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"). In a post-credits scene, an unseen person[\[c\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-9) questions whether Whitman is ready to wield the [Ebony Blade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebony_Blade_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ebony Blade (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").

- [Gemma Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemma_Chan "Gemma Chan") as [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"):
An empathetic [Eternal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") with a strong connection to humanity and the Earth, who can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Sersi has been in love with Ikaris for centuries and has a strong connection with Sprite. In the present day, she is a [museum curator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_curator "Museum curator") on Earth and dating Dane Whitman.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanVogue-10)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11) Producer [Kevin Feige](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Feige "Kevin Feige") said Sersi was the lead character of the film.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeApril2021-12) Director [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao") said she and Chan were interested in creating the kind of nuanced female superhero that they felt was rarely seen in the genre, and Zhao felt Chan had imbued the character with gentleness, compassion, and vulnerability that would "invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic".[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanVogue-10) Chan said Sersi was free-spirited and loved being around humans.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13)

A powerful Eternal who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) Speaking to the relationship between Ikaris and Sersi, Madden said the fact that they had loved each other for centuries showed a "deep level of romance" between the two. They are on opposing sides of how the Eternals connect to the world, with Sersi having compassion for humans while Ikaris is more disconnected.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) The biggest struggle for Madden was showing that Ikaris has "seen everything and done everything" without the character coming across as bored.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) Zhao's take on Ikaris was influenced by director [Zack Snyder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_Snyder "Zack Snyder")'s [interpretation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_\(DC_Extended_Universe\) "Superman (DC Extended Universe)") of [Superman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman "Superman") in *[Man of Steel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Steel_\(film\) "Man of Steel (film)")* (2013) which left a strong impression on her for its "authentic and very real" approach.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SupermanInfluence-14)

Nanjiani, who is not a dancer, grew up watching [Bollywood dances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood_dance "Bollywood dance") and spent several months training for the film's own such sequence in hopes of capturing the same energy and joy.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) He underwent rigorous fitness training to build muscle for the role, despite [Marvel Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Studios "Marvel Studios") being happy for him to look "normal", because Nanjiani saw an opportunity to create a South Asian superhero with a comparable physique to Superman and [Thor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thor (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NanjianiTraining-17) Nanjiani signed a contract to appear in six films, a video game, and a theme park ride.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NanjianiContract-18)

Sprite is in a [permanent childlike state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puer_aeternus "Puer aeternus"), appearing as a young girl despite being thousands of years old.

Similarly, [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman") and [John Romita Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Romita_Jr. "John Romita Jr.")'s [2006 *Eternals* comic book miniseries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#Memory_loss_and_the_Dreaming_Celestial "Eternals (comics)") compared Sprite to the never-aging Peter Pan and gave them similar short, red hair, which the film also uses. The film ends with Sprite becoming human and being able to grow old.[\[17\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SpritePeterPan-20)

In April 2015, [Marvel Television](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Television "Marvel Television") was working with screenwriter [John Ridley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ridley "John Ridley") to craft a new television series for [ABC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company "American Broadcasting Company"), "reinventing" an existing [Marvel Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Comics "Marvel Comics") character or property.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RidleySeries-30) This was revealed years later to be the [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\) "Eternals (comics)"), a race of long-lived superheroes created by [Jack Kirby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kirby "Jack Kirby").[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RidleyEternalsSeries-31) Ridley said he was trying to make a superhero series that viewers had not seen before, differentiating it from Marvel's other projects,[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RidleyIGNJan2017-32) and said his approach would have been a "really weird story" that may not have been entertaining for everyone. It ultimately did not move forward with Ridley,[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RidleyEternalsSeries-31) and Marvel Television was folded into [Marvel Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Studios "Marvel Studios") in December 2019.[\[30\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-MarvelTVFolded-33)
Marvel Studios president [Kevin Feige](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Feige "Kevin Feige") said in April 2018 that the studio was actively developing a film based on the Eternals, to be released as part of their [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe "Marvel Cinematic Universe") (MCU) [Phase Four](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe:_Phase_Four "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four") slate of films. Marvel Studios had met with multiple screenwriters and was believed to be focusing on the character [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") in the film.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeApr2018-34) Marvel set Ryan and [Kaz Firpo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaz_Firpo "Kaz Firpo") to write the script a month later,[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Firpos-35) with their outline including a love story between the characters Sersi and [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36) The Firpos said the 1999 limited comic book series *[Earth X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_X "Earth X")* by [Jim Krueger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Krueger "Jim Krueger") and [John Paul Leon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Leon "John Paul Leon"), which is about a [dystopian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystopian "Dystopian") version of the [Marvel Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe "Marvel Universe"), was a major inspiration for them.[\[34\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EarthX-37) In June, Feige said Marvel was interested in exploring the "[ancient aliens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_alien "Ancient alien") kind of sci-fi trope" by having the Eternals be the inspiration for myths and legends throughout the history of the MCU.[\[35\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeJun2018-38)

Director [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao") promoting *Eternals* at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con
During late August, Marvel's director search for *Eternals* narrowed to a shortlist that included [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao")—who had also been in the running to direct Marvel's *[Black Widow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Widow_\(2021_film\) "Black Widow (2021 film)")* (2021)—[Nicole Kassell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Kassell "Nicole Kassell"), [Travis Knight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Knight "Travis Knight"), and the pair of [Cristina Gallego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristina_Gallego "Cristina Gallego") and [Ciro Guerra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciro_Guerra "Ciro Guerra").[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36) Zhao approached Marvel Studios about making the film as she had been a fan of the MCU. She wanted to work with the studio to bring her own take and [world-building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World-building "World-building") to the franchise,[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoDec2020-39) and impressed them with a presentation that Feige described as fascinating, with "reams of visuals".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) Feige was also impressed with Zhao's passion for the project, since it was not a top priority for the studio.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistJan2026-41) Zhao worked with producer [Nate Moore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Moore_\(film_producer\) "Nate Moore (film producer)") to develop her [pitch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_\(filmmaking\) "Pitch (filmmaking)"),[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) noting she became interested in the project after reading its [treatment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_treatment "Film treatment") that read like a Greek play "where gods get to discuss everything about human nature based on their own relationship".[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistJan2026-41) The presentation left Marvel concerned that she might take on a different big-studio project instead of *Eternals*, forcing them to move quickly to secure her, and Zhao was hired as director in September.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36)[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao2-43) This was ahead of her beginning production on her film *[Nomadland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland "Nomadland")* (2020), with Zhao beginning to work on the *Eternals* script during the filming of *Nomadland*.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistJan2026-41) Zhao hoped to push the scope of the film further than Marvel's *[Avengers: Endgame](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Endgame "Avengers: Endgame")* (2019),[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) but also wanted it to have intimacy.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoWriterJan2021-44) Zhao described the film as a melting pot of influences, taking from Kirby's original *Eternals* comics, [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman")'s [2006 comic book run](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#Memory_loss_and_the_Dreaming_Celestial "Eternals (comics)"), previous MCU projects, and Zhao's love of science fiction and fantasy films and [manga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga "Manga").[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Speaking specifically to her love of manga, she hoped those influences would create a "marriage of East and West".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) Zhao cited the television series *[Ancient Aliens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Aliens "Ancient Aliens")* (2009–present), the *[Final Fantasy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy "Final Fantasy")* video game franchise, concepts from [Yuval Noah Harari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuval_Noah_Harari "Yuval Noah Harari")'s book *[Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapiens:_A_Brief_History_of_Humankind "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind")* (2011), and the films of [Terrence Malick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Malick "Terrence Malick") as inspirations.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoNov2020-45)
Marvel saw *Eternals* as an opportunity to create an [ensemble film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_film "Ensemble film") that is not a [crossover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_\(fiction\) "Crossover (fiction)"), similar to *[Guardians of the Galaxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_\(film\) "Guardians of the Galaxy (film)")* (2014), and to introduce relatively unknown characters to audiences as they did with the [Guardians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_\(2008_team\) "Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)") and the [Avengers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_\(comics\) "Avengers (comics)").[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeFeb2019-46) The studio also considered *Eternals* to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films along with projects such as *[Captain Marvel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Marvel_\(film\) "Captain Marvel (film)")* (2019),[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao2-43) allowing them to cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36) Moore's initial planning documents for the project included the swapping of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters, and Zhao further advocated for this approach.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeApril2021-12) In February 2019, Feige reiterated that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning story,[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeFeb2019-46) with the film version covering 7,000 years and exploring humanity's place in the cosmos.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Zhao said the Eternals "have lived among us for so long, \[they have\] the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal freedom versus greater good—all the duality and flaws that make us human". With a story that spans so many years, the characters' relationships evolve like a complex family unit where friends "turn into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship". Zhao considered the Earth to be an eleventh character in the film.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)
### Pre-production
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(film\)&action=edit§ion=5 "Edit section: Pre-production")\]
Zhao continued working on a draft of the script throughout early 2019, which built upon the multiple drafts submitted by the Firpos. Approximately four months ahead of filming, the script was not finalized. Moore introduced Zhao to [Patrick Burleigh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Burleigh "Patrick Burleigh"), who had been part of Marvel's writers program, in the hopes that Burleigh could assist with the writing. Zhao hired him to work on the screenplay, which he did for about three months ahead of filming. Burleigh believed Zhao needed to write on the film as well as direct to "process the film through her own filter", and said her draft showed that she was "trying to make the Terrence Malick version of a Marvel film"; Zhao cited Malick's film *[The Tree of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tree_of_Life_\(film\) "The Tree of Life (film)")* (2011) as a particular inspiration. Burleigh said his work on the script was mostly "structural" to find "the flow of the film", and likened the story to a [road trip film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_trip_film "Road trip film").[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BurleighTHR-47)
> "I wanted it to reflect the world we live in. But also I wanted to put a cast together that feels like a group of misfits. I didn't want the jocks. I want you to walk away at the end of the movie not thinking, 'This person is this ethnicity, that person is that nationality.' No. I want you to walk away thinking, 'That's a family.' You don't think about what they represent."
—Zhao on the diverse cast of the film[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40)
[Angelina Jolie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie "Angelina Jolie") joined the cast in March 2019, reportedly as Sersi,[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Jolie-48)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Nanjiani-49) with [Kumail Nanjiani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumail_Nanjiani "Kumail Nanjiani") and [Don Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Dong-seok "Ma Dong-seok") cast in undisclosed roles the next month.[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Nanjiani-49)[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Ma-50) At that time, the film was expected to feature Marvel Studios' first gay superhero.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Ma2-51) In May, [Richard Madden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Madden "Richard Madden") entered negotiations for the role of Ikaris,[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-MaddenTalks-52) and [Salma Hayek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salma_Hayek "Salma Hayek") had entered early negotiations for an undisclosed role the following month.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Hayek-53) In July, *[Variety](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_\(magazine\) "Variety (magazine)")* reported that the cast included Jolie, Madden, and [Millie Bobby Brown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millie_Bobby_Brown "Millie Bobby Brown"), but Brown denied that she had been cast.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Brown-54)[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NoBrown-55)
At the 2019 [San Diego Comic-Con](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Comic-Con "San Diego Comic-Con"), Feige officially announced *The Eternals* with a release date of November 6, 2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Nanjiani as [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Lee as [Gilgamesh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Madden as Ikaris, and Hayek as [Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), along with [Lauren Ridloff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Ridloff "Lauren Ridloff") as [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Brian Tyree Henry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tyree_Henry "Brian Tyree Henry") as [Phastos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phastos_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), and [Lia McHugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_McHugh "Lia McHugh") as [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-McHugh-56) Zhao looked for actors for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character".[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11) Feige added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character,[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-LGBTQ-57) with actor [Haaz Sleiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaz_Sleiman "Haaz Sleiman") later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film. Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film. Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous media.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SleimanFeb2020-21) Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story" and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film,[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) while Sleiman said it was a "thoughtful" depiction.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SleimanJan2021-58)
*Eternals* is set around eight months after the events of *Avengers: Endgame*,[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EternalsTimeline-59) and addresses why the Eternals did not interfere in any previous conflicts in the MCU. Both Feige and Moore said the film would have "major ripple effects" on the future of the MCU, and at times, it was "a challenge" to balance the grounded nature of the MCU with the "mythic grandeur" of the Eternals property.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)
### Filming
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(film\)&action=edit§ion=6 "Edit section: Filming")\]
By the time of the film's official announcement in July 2019, [principal photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography "Principal photography") had begun at [Pinewood Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinewood_Studios "Pinewood Studios") in [Buckinghamshire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckinghamshire "Buckinghamshire"), England.[\[57\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FilmingStart-60)[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PinewoodStudios-61) [Ben Davis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Davis_\(cinematographer\) "Ben Davis (cinematographer)") served as director of photography, after doing so on several previous MCU films.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeApril2021-12)[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Davis-62) Zhao said Marvel Studios allowed her creative freedom to shoot the film on location, "exactly the way \[she\] wanted to shoot" it. She was able to use a similar style to her previous films, including 360° shots and working with the same camera and rigs as were used for her film *[Nomadland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland "Nomadland")* (2020),[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) which Zhao was set to complete [back-to-back](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-to-back_film_production "Back-to-back film production") with *Eternals*.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Zhao felt that she "got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) Zhao cited *[The Revenant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revenant_\(2015_film\) "The Revenant (2015 film)")* (2015) as a primary influence when composing the film's action sequences.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoRevenantInfluence-63)
[Gemma Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemma_Chan "Gemma Chan") and [Barry Keoghan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Keoghan "Barry Keoghan") were in talks to join the cast in August 2019.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Chan-64)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Keoghan-65) Chan previously portrayed [Minn-Erva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minn-Erva_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Minn-Erva (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") in *Captain Marvel*, but reports noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate character in this film.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Chan-64) Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for the film to cast.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanTHRDec2020-66) Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at the [D23 Expo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D23_\(Disney\) "D23 (Disney)") in August, in the roles of Sersi and [Druig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druig_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), respectively, along with [Kit Harington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Harington "Kit Harington") as [Dane Whitman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Whitman_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-D232019-67) Chan said she and Marvel Studios were surprised by how soon after *Captain Marvel* her new MCU role came, with both assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanTHRDec2020-66) [Harish Patel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harish_Patel "Harish Patel") was cast at the end of August as [Karun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karun_Patel "Karun Patel"), Kingo's manager,[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PatelNews18-68)[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PatelHindustanTimes-69) and filmed his role from September 2019 until January 2020.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PatelNews18-68)
By early November, filming had taken place in the [Canary Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands "Canary Islands"). The cast and crew, including Jolie and Madden, had to be evacuated from a shooting location on the island of [Fuerteventura](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuerteventura "Fuerteventura") when an explosive device, thought to be a remnant armament from a Nazi base, was found there.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Canary-70) Later that month, [Zain Al Rafeea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zain_Al_Rafeea "Zain Al Rafeea") joined the cast.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Rafeea-28)[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Rafeea2-71) In early January 2020, filming took place outside the [Oxford University Museum of Natural History](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_Museum_of_Natural_History "Oxford University Museum of Natural History") in [Oxford](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford "Oxford"), England,[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Oxford-72) as well as [Hampstead Heath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampstead_Heath "Hampstead Heath") and in [Camden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camden_Town "Camden Town") in London,[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-London-73)[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Camden-74) under the [working title](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_title "Working title") *Sack Lunch*.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Camden-74)[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-WorkingTitle-75) Chan said the filming process felt very different from what she experienced on *Captain Marvel*, explaining that *Eternals* shot more on location and used natural light while *Captain Marvel* had more studio work and bluescreens.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanTHRDec2020-66) Filming [wrapped](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrap_\(filmmaking\) "Wrap (filmmaking)") on February 4, 2020.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Wrap-76)
### Post-production

In March 2020, [Scanline VFX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanline_VFX "Scanline VFX"), one of the companies working on the film's visual effects, confirmed that they would be working remotely due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ScanLineVFX-77) [Industrial Light & Magic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Light_%26_Magic "Industrial Light & Magic"), [Luma Pictures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luma_Pictures "Luma Pictures"), [RISE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_FX "Rise FX"), and [Weta Digital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weta_Digital "Weta Digital") also worked on the film's visual effects.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-78) In early April, Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of films due to the pandemic, moving *The Eternals*' release date to February 12, 2021.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Phase4Delay-79) In August, the film's title was officially shortened from *The Eternals* to *Eternals*,[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NoThe-80) and the next month, the release date was pushed back to November 5, 2021.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Phase4DelayAgain-81) Reshoots had taken place by mid-November 2020.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RidloffReshoots-82)
Additional filming occurred in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles") in early February, also under the working title *Sack Lunch*.[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Feb7LAFilming-83) [Dylan Tichenor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Tichenor "Dylan Tichenor") and [Craig Wood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Wood_\(film_editor\) "Craig Wood (film editor)") serve as co-editors of the film.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Tichenor said Zhao usually edits her own films and has "strong opinions", but on *Eternals* she was relying on Tichenor and Wood due to the size of the production and the ongoing awards season for *Nomadland*. Tichenor added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback and were still working on the editing in April 2021.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TichenorWood-84) At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film was in its "final stretch",[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the film, after previously starring in Zhao's film *[Songs My Brothers Taught Me](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_My_Brothers_Taught_Me "Songs My Brothers Taught Me")* (2015).[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-StJohn-85)

At the film's world premiere, Matt Donnelly of *[Variety](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_\(magazine\) "Variety (magazine)")* [tweeted](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tweeted "Tweeted") that [Harry Styles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Styles "Harry Styles") made an appearance in a [post-credits scene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-credits_scene "Post-credits scene") as [Eros / Starfox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eros (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos "Thanos")'s brother in the comics, which was not shown in early press screenings of the film.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-StylesEros-88) Zhao later revealed that she "kept tabs on \[Styles\]" since his appearance in the film *[Dunkirk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkirk_\(2017_film\) "Dunkirk (2017 film)")* (2017), believing that he "makes me think of Eros as a character".[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoCastingStyles-89) [WWE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWE "WWE") wrestler [Becky Lynch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becky_Lynch "Becky Lynch") had a role in the film for a planned post-credits scene that was intended to set up a future project.

The first footage of the film was released in May 2021, as part of a promotional video from Marvel Studios celebrating their films and a return to theaters in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VergeSizzleFootage-94)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NerdistSizzleFootage-95) Though the footage was limited and "vague", Hoai-Tran Bui at *[/Film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//Film "/Film")* still felt it was "very exciting".[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-/FilmSizzleFootage-96) Chaim Gartenberg of *[The Verge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Verge "The Verge")* felt one of the biggest moments of the footage was seeing Jolie wielding a sword made of light. He was also encouraged that *Eternals* appeared to be one of Marvel's first films to "deliver on \[their\] years-long promise of creating films with more diverse casts".[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VergeSizzleFootage-94) *[Nerdist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerdist "Nerdist")*'s Michael Arbeiter said the footage was quick, but felt that it "manages an air of wonderment".[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NerdistSizzleFootage-95)
The first teaser for the film was released on May 24, 2021. Gartenberg felt the teaser was light on plot elements, with it instead focusing on the "civilization-spanning scope of the superhero team and its members throughout human history". He also believed the film was "a big swing" from Marvel Studios to entice audiences with a lesser-known comics property, but believed that it would succeed due to its diverse cast of well-known actors and Zhao's status as "one of the most exciting directors around".[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VergeTeaser-97) *[io9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io9 "Io9")*'s Charlies Pulliam-Moore felt the trailer was a "multiple millennia-spanning recap of Earth's history", and said it was unclear how much the larger MCU would impact on the film outside of a brief reference to the Avengers at the end of the trailer.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-io9Teaser-98) Writing for *[Entertainment Weekly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Weekly "Entertainment Weekly")*, Nick Romano felt the teaser was a combination of "thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments" and some jokes.[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWTeaser-99) Erik Adams of *[The A.V. Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A.V._Club "The A.V. Club")* felt the spot teased some fresh angles for the MCU in a similar way to *[Thor: Ragnarok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor:_Ragnarok "Thor: Ragnarok")* (2017) and *Guardians of the Galaxy* (2014), and he enjoyed the images of Kingo's Bollywood dance, Sprite performing karaoke, and the end scene of the Eternals eating together and joking about the Avengers.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-AVClubTeaser-100) After seeing the teaser, *Variety*'s Adam B. Vary described the film as "unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyTeaser-1) Adele Ankers of *[IGN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGN "IGN")* discussed the poster that was released at the same time as the trailer, highlighting how the Eternals appear in silhouette against a sunlit background which she described as "another taste of Chloé Zhao's signature filming style and the use of natural light to illuminate a frame" that would be seen in the film.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-IGNTeaserPoster-101) Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one trending video on [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24 hours.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TeaserViews-102) Disney's president of marketing Asad Ayaz said the teaser was designed to just be an introduction to the characters and tone and not give much of the film away, adding the marketing team would be "very judicious" on when more material would be revealed, while also using the releases of *Black Widow* and *[Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shang-Chi_and_the_Legend_of_the_Ten_Rings "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings")* before *Eternals* to help expose audiences to the characters.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-AyazJun2021-103)
The final trailer was released in August 2021, with Ethan Shanfeld and Manori Ravindran of *Variety* feeling it was "more serious in tone" than the teaser with the Eternals "grappling with the prospect of emerging after centuries living apart in order to help humans".[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyFinalTrailer-104) *Entertainment Weekly*'s Devan Coggan felt that the trailer was the "best glimpse yet" of the film and gave a "sense of the vast scale and scope of the film", while answering "one important question" about the absence of the Eternals during the conflict against [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") in *Avengers: Infinity War* and *Avengers: Endgame*.[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWFinalTrailer-105) Aaron Couch at *[The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter")* said the trailer "reveals much of \[the film's\] plot as well as its characters' powers, teasing the answers to key questions about who the Eternals answer to, their relationship to Earth and why they ultimately didn't intervene" in the conflict against Thanos.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-THRFinalTrailer-106)
In October 2021, [Lexus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus "Lexus") released a commercial promoting the film and its [Lexus IS 500](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_IS#XE30 "Lexus IS") sports sedan starring Nanjiani as Kingo, with frequent MCU directors [Joe and Anthony Russo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_and_Anthony_Russo "Joe and Anthony Russo") guiding its development and [Framestore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framestore "Framestore") working on the visual effects.[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Lexus-107) Lexus created ten [concept cars](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_cars "Concept cars") based on the ten Eternals characters from the film.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-LexusConcept-108) The [LS 500h](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_LS#XF50 "Lexus LS") and [NX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_NX#AZ10 "Lexus NX") are featured in the film.[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Lexus-107) Beginning on November 20, 2021, select costumes from the film were part of the *Futures* exhibit at the [Smithsonian Institution](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smithsonian_Institution "Smithsonian Institution")'s [Arts and Industries Building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arts_and_Industries_Building "Arts and Industries Building"), which ran through July 2022.

#### Censorship
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(film\)&action=edit§ion=12 "Edit section: Censorship")\]
In May 2021, a Chinese state media report excluded *Eternals*, as well as *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings*, from its list of upcoming MCU films releasing, which *Variety* noted "added to rumors" that the films would not be released in China, especially since Zhao had become "an unexpected *[persona non grata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_non_grata "Persona non grata")*" in the country after she was scrutinized by Chinese [netizens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netizens "Netizens") over her remarks in a 2013 interview with *[Filmmaker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmmaker_\(magazine\) "Filmmaker (magazine)")* magazine in which she described China as "a place where there are lies everywhere".[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyChinaReleaseMay2021-115)[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyGoldenGlobesMarch2021-116)[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SouthChinaMorningPostApril2021-117) By September 2021, *[Deadline Hollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadline_Hollywood "Deadline Hollywood")* reported it remained "an open question" if the Chinese government or Zhao would attempt to "rehabilitate" the situation, but it "seems likely" the film would not be released in China following the country's response to *Nomadland* as well as *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings* likely not being released in the country either following backlash to comments made by star [Simu Liu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simu_Liu "Simu Liu") in 2017.[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-DeadlineChinaReleaseSep2021-118)
The film was not released in [Saudi Arabia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia "Saudi Arabia"), [Kuwait](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait "Kuwait"), [Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar "Qatar"), [Bahrain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain "Bahrain") and [Oman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman "Oman") due to the depiction of a gay couple. Theaters in the [United Arab Emirates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Arab_Emirates "United Arab Emirates"), [Jordan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan "Jordan"), [Lebanon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon "Lebanon"), and [Egypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt "Egypt") were set to show an edited version of the film which is missing all the love scenes.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-MiddleEastBan-119) Angelina Jolie criticized the countries' decision to ban the film, saying: "I'm sad for \[those audiences\]. And I'm proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don't understand how we live in a world today where there's still \[people who\] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn't approve or appreciate it is ignorant."[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-JolieGayScenes-120) Lebanese actor [Haaz Sleiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaz_Sleiman "Haaz Sleiman"), who played Phastos' husband Ben in the film, also voiced the same reaction towards the matter: "They stood their ground and said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film.' It made these Arab countries looks \[*[sic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic "Sic")*\] so ignorant and pathetic. I have no respect for those governments. They have displayed to the world that they are not only a disgrace to humanity, but to God. Hopefully this will inspire the Saudi people, the Kuwaiti people and the people in Qatar to fight back."[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-MiddleEast-121) Marvel later agreed to cut any kind of love scenes, including the gay couple kiss for the film's release in [Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia "Indonesia"), which received praise from the Indonesian [Film Censorship Board](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_Censorship_Board "Film Censorship Board") (LSF).[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-IndoCensor-122)

Advanced ticket sales for *Eternals* were estimated to be \$2.6 million in its first 24 hours, outpacing those for *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings* (\$1.4 million) and *Black Widow* (\$2 million) during the same time frame, while [AMC Theatres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Theatres "AMC Theatres") had the largest first-day sales of 2021 for the film.[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-DeadlineAdvanceTickets-136) In November, [Fandango](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandango_Media "Fandango Media") reported that pre-sales for *Eternals* were the second-largest of 2021, behind *Black Widow*.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FandangoProjections-137) In October, *[Boxoffice Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxoffice_Pro "Boxoffice Pro")* initially projected that the film would earn \$82–102 million within its opening weekend, and around \$210–280 million in total domestic box office.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BoxofficeProProjections-138) At the end of the month, *Boxoffice Pro* modified their projections to \$67–92 million for the film's opening weekend, and around \$165–215 million in total domestic box office, due to mixed early critical reception.[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BoxofficeProProjections2-139) According to *[Deadline Hollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadline_Hollywood "Deadline Hollywood")*, *Eternals* was expected to earn \$75 million within its domestic opening weekend, and around \$150 million globally.[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-WorldwideOpening-140)
#### Performance
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(film\)&action=edit§ion=17 "Edit section: Performance")\]
In the United States and Canada, *Eternals* earned \$30.7 million on its opening day, which included \$9.5 million from Thursday night previews, marking the third-largest opening day of the pandemic, behind *Black Widow* and *[Venom: Let There Be Carnage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venom:_Let_There_Be_Carnage "Venom: Let There Be Carnage")*. Its opening weekend earned \$71.3 million from 5.5 million theater admissions, making it the top film of the weekend.[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BoxOfficeMojo-141) IMAX accounted for over \$7.6 million over the weekend. This marked the fourth-largest opening weekend of the pandemic. The domestic opening weekend gross was lower than various pre-release projections. *Deadline* attributed this to the film's overall mixed reception from critics and audiences.[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EternalsPostTrak-135) In its second weekend, *Eternals* remained the top film, grossing over \$27.5 million.[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BO2ndWknd-142) *Eternals* became the [sixth-highest-grossing film of 2021 in the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_films_of_2021 "List of American films of 2021").[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-2021Boxoffice-143)
Outside of North America, *Eternals* earned over \$90.7 million within its opening weekend from 46 markets. It was number one in nearly all of these markets. The international opening weekend gross had exceeded various pre-release projections. IMAX contributed to \$6 million of the opening gross, from 58 countries. The film scored the largest opening of the pandemic in Italy, Brazil, and Hong Kong. In South Korea, *Eternals* earned \$14.4 million, marking the largest debut for a Hollywood film amid the pandemic.[\[141\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-InternationalOpening-144) In Russia, the film earned an opening of \$5.4 million through six days. In its second weekend, *Eternals* earned \$48 million from 49 markets, a drop of 49%. It remained number one in many of these territories.[\[142\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-InternationalGross-145) The following weekend, the film earned \$22.7 million. It was the top film of the weekend internationally, remaining the top film in many territories, including all markets across Latin America, except for Mexico.[\[143\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-InternationalBO-146) As of November 28, 2021, the film's largest markets were South Korea (\$26.4 million), the United Kingdom (\$18.7 million), France (\$14.9 million), Mexico (\$14.3 million), and Brazil (\$11.1 million).[\[144\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-InternationalMarketGross-147)
### Critical response
\[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eternals_\(film\)&action=edit§ion=18 "Edit section: Critical response")\]
The [review aggregator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Review_aggregator "Review aggregator") [Rotten Tomatoes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_Tomatoes "Rotten Tomatoes") reports an approval rating of 47% based on 417 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "An ambitious superhero epic that soars as often as it strains, *Eternals* takes the MCU in intriguing—and occasionally confounding—new directions."[\[145\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Rotten_Tomatoes-148) On [Metacritic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacritic "Metacritic"), the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[\[146\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-149) Upon release, it became the lowest-rated MCU film on both websites and the first installment to be classified as "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes.[\[147\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EternalsLowestRT-150) Audiences polled by [CinemaScore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CinemaScore "CinemaScore") gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, the lowest grade for an MCU film at the time of its release, and [PostTrak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostTrak "PostTrak") reported 78% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely recommend it.[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EternalsPostTrak-135)
Charlotte O'Sullivan of the *[Evening Standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evening_Standard "Evening Standard")* described the film as "lavish" and "ambitious", and praised the fight sequences as "astounding, beautifully paced and crammed with detail".[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EveningStandardReview-151) Robert Abele of *[TheWrap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheWrap "TheWrap")* commended the cinematography and felt "an earnestness to the operatic stakes".[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheWrapReview-152) Oliver Jones of the *[Observer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer.com "Observer.com")* called it "full of wonder and romance and fueled by an agenda and audacity all its own".[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ObserverReview-153) [Owen Gleiberman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Gleiberman "Owen Gleiberman") was disappointed over Zhao's missing filmmaking style that shaped her films *[The Rider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rider_\(film\) "The Rider (film)")* (2017) and *[Nomadland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland "Nomadland")* (2020) to "embrace the straight-up expository conventionality of Marvel filmmaking", but felt that the film was a "squarely fun and gratifying watch".[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-GleibermanVariety-154) Moira Macdonald of *[The Seattle Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seattle_Times "The Seattle Times")* thought "it's got some pretty slow spots midfilm and it's desperately in need of a bit more wit ... what it does have is a palpable, artful mood; this is a movie full of superheroes who spend time thinking and feeling, and of special effects that aren't just zippy but often delicately elegant".[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheSeattleTimesReview-155)
Linda Marric of *[The Jewish Chronicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jewish_Chronicle "The Jewish Chronicle")* described it as "a mishmash of well-meaning, yet jarringly verbose and bafflingly incoherent nonsense which is only just about saved by some half decent performances";[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheJewishChronicleReview-156) Nicholas Barber of *[BBC Culture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Culture "BBC Culture")* called Zhao's direction "workmanlike";[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BBCReview-157) and Clarisse Loughrey of *[The Independent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Independent "The Independent")* said that it "strives for the same expansive soulfulness" as *Nomadland* "but discovers there's room enough only for the occasional burst of it".[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheIndependentReview-158) Brian Truitt of *[USA Today](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Today "USA Today")* praised Zhao's "penchant for naturalistic environments", but wrote that the narrative "struggles to juggle its many subplots and tries to do too much".[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-USATodayReview-159) Mark Kennedy of the [Associated Press](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press "Associated Press") criticized the dialogue and fight scenes, but praised the visual effects and Nanjiani's performance.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-AssociatedPressReview-160) Shirley Li of *[The Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic "The Atlantic")* felt that "Zhao's delicate examination of her characters outshines *Eternals*' duller and more convoluted moments".[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheAtlanticReview-161)
[Robbie Collin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Collin "Robbie Collin") wrote the film was "constantly engaged in a kind of grit-toothed authenticity theatre, going out of its way to show you it's doing all the things proper cinema does, even though none of them bring any discernible benefit";[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheDailyTelegraphReview-162) [Kevin Maher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Maher_\(writer\) "Kevin Maher (writer)") felt "a strange self-sabotaging energy at the heart";[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheTimesReview-163) and Steve Rose of *[The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian")* missed "the breezy wit of Marvel's best movies ... like coming into *[Avengers: Endgame](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Endgame "Avengers: Endgame")* cold without having seen any of the preceding installments".[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheGuardianReview-164) K. Austin Collins of *[Rolling Stone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone "Rolling Stone")* felt that the film was "good at telling us where to look, at impressing us with its manufactured sense of grandeur", but lacked "any credible sense of what's actually worth seeing".[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RollingStoneReview-165) [Justin Chang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Chang "Justin Chang") of the *[Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times")* had a "depressing realization that you've just seen one of the more interesting movies Marvel will ever make, and hopefully the least interesting one Chloé Zhao will ever make".[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-LosAngelesTimesReview-166) Brian Lowry of [CNN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN "CNN") thought "the movie's structural flaws offset its stunning visuals and strong performances".[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-CNNReview-167) [Kyle Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Smith_\(critic\) "Kyle Smith (critic)") of *[National Review](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Review "National Review")* was harsher, describing it as "one of the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite, and least human" of the MCU films.[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SmithNationalReview-168)
The mixed reception surprised some commentators, given the MCU's positive track record and the acclaim of Zhao's previous work. Richard Newby of *[The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter")* wrote that "much of the criticism of Kirby's work", which was divisive for its subject matter and relationship to the wider [Marvel Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe "Marvel Universe"), "has followed Zhao in her adaptation." He compared the divided response to that of Zack Snyder's [DC Extended Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Extended_Universe "DC Extended Universe") (DCEU) films *Man of Steel* and *[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_v_Superman:_Dawn_of_Justice "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice")* (2016), writing that they and *Eternals* share "a deconstructive approach to superheroes and force them to question their purpose in the world, through meditative and melancholy narrative beats, and a tragic yet hopeful ending." This approach, he felt, subverted critics' and audiences' expectations, which made them review the film more harshly.[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-THRDividing-169) Zhao addressed some of the criticisms of the film, believing some of the division came from everyone "having an existential crisis" because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the film being an "existential crisis, both for humanity and God". She also felt the reactions to how the film incorporated her filmmaking sensibilities with Marvel's were "a testament to how much we had merged with each other; how uncomfortable that might make people feel".[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoCriticismResponse-170)

In October 2021, Zhao said she was open to making a sequel.[\[185\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistOct2021-188) The next month, Kaz and Ryan Firpo expressed interest in making a prequel series for Disney+ that would focus on one Eternal in a different time period each episode, such as an episode about Thena in Ancient Greece and one about Kingo in 1890s Mumbai where he balances his life as a film star with [Mahatma Gandhi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahatma_Gandhi "Mahatma Gandhi")'s [campaign for India's independence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_independence_movement "Indian independence movement") from [British rule](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Raj "British Raj"). They also felt there were opportunities to continue the film's story by further exploring Dane Whitman and showing the Eternals confronting the Celestials.[\[186\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-THRFirpoNov2021-189) Chan said in January 2022 that she would reprise the role of Sersi in the future.[\[187\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanJan2022-190) Feige was asked about Styles's future in the MCU that July and said Marvel Studios was excited to further explore the characters Eros and Pip as part of the MCU's more cosmic stories.[\[188\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeHarryStylesJul2022-191) A month later, Oswalt said a sequel had been confirmed by Marvel Studios and Zhao was returning to direct. He hoped it would further explore Eros and Pip, and expressed interest in a spin-off film for the characters.[\[189\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-OswaltAug2022-192) In October, Moore said Marvel intended to bring back the Eternals characters in the future of the MCU.[\[190\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-MooreCharactersReturn-193) Nanjiani said the following month that he was unaware of a sequel and believed Oswalt was mistaken, but expressed interest in reprising his role as Kingo.[\[191\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NanjianiUnclear-194) Don Lee's talent agency indicated in December that he would reprise his role as Gilgamesh in an *Eternals* sequel.[\[192\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-LeeDec2022-195) Oswalt clarified his statements in February 2023, saying a sequel was not in development at that time and that he had been misled.[\[193\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-OswaltNoSequel-196) In July 2024, Feige said there were no plans for a sequel at the time.[\[194\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeJul2024-197) In August 2025, Nanjiani said the film's poor reception "shattered \[him\]" and tempered his expectations of reprising the role for the next ten years.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NanjianiContract-18)

***Eternals*** is a 2021 American [superhero film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero_film "Superhero film") based on the [Marvel Comics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Comics "Marvel Comics") race the [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\) "Eternals (comics)"). Produced by [Marvel Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Studios "Marvel Studios") and distributed by [Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Disney_Studios_Motion_Pictures "Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures"), it is [the 26th film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvel_Cinematic_Universe_films "List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films") in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe "Marvel Cinematic Universe") (MCU). The film was directed by [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao"), who wrote the screenplay with [Patrick Burleigh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Burleigh "Patrick Burleigh"), Ryan Firpo, and [Kaz Firpo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaz_Firpo "Kaz Firpo"). It stars an [ensemble cast](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_cast "Ensemble cast") including [Gemma Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemma_Chan "Gemma Chan"), [Richard Madden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Madden "Richard Madden"), [Kumail Nanjiani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumail_Nanjiani "Kumail Nanjiani"), [Lia McHugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_McHugh "Lia McHugh"), [Brian Tyree Henry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tyree_Henry "Brian Tyree Henry"), [Lauren Ridloff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Ridloff "Lauren Ridloff"), [Barry Keoghan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Keoghan "Barry Keoghan"), [Don Lee](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Dong-seok "Ma Dong-seok"), [Kit Harington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Harington "Kit Harington"), [Salma Hayek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salma_Hayek "Salma Hayek"), and [Angelina Jolie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Jolie "Angelina Jolie"). In the film, the Eternals are immortal beings who emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviants_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").
In April 2018, Marvel Studios president [Kevin Feige](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Feige "Kevin Feige") announced that a film based on the Eternals was in development and would explore the group as [ancient aliens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_alien "Ancient alien") living throughout human history. Ryan and Kaz Firpo were hired to write the script, and Zhao was set to direct in September. She was given significant creative freedom to rewrite the script, taking particular inspiration from [Terrence Malick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Malick "Terrence Malick")'s films, and to use more locations and natural lighting than previous MCU films had. Casting began in early 2019 and Burleigh joined to work on the script ahead of [principal photography](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_photography "Principal photography"), which took place from July 2019 to February 2020 at [Pinewood Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinewood_Studios "Pinewood Studios") and on location in England and the [Canary Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands "Canary Islands").
*Eternals* premiered at the [Dolby Theatre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Theatre "Dolby Theatre") in [Los Angeles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles "Los Angeles") on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5 as part of [Phase Four](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Cinematic_Universe:_Phase_Four "Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four") of the MCU. It grossed \$402.1 million worldwide and received several awards and nominations, but it also became the first MCU film to not receive generally positive reviews. Particular criticism went to the screenplay and pacing, with commentators feeling it did not live up to Zhao's previous work or to previous MCU films. The themes and visuals received some praise.
In 5000 BC, ten superpowered beings known as [Eternals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)")—[Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Phastos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phastos_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Druig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druig_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Gilgamesh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), and [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)")—are sent to Earth by [Arishem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arishem_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Arishem (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), a [Celestial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestials_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Celestials (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), on the [starship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship "Starship") *[Domo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Domo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)")*. They are charged with exterminating invasive entities known as the [Deviants](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviants_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"). After the last Deviants are killed in 1521, the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next 500 years, they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.
In the present, Sersi and Sprite live together in [London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London "London"). After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human [Dane Whitman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Whitman_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") who works at the [Natural History Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_History_Museum,_London "Natural History Museum, London"). When the trio is attacked by the Deviant [Kro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kro_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kro (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.
Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the [Emergence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Emergence (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") of a new Celestial. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the [apex predators](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apex_predator "Apex predator") of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when they evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the recent end of [the Blip](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blip "The Blip") restoring Earth's population,[\[b\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-7) humankind has reached the necessary size to allow the Celestial [Tiamut](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiamut_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Tiamut (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") to be born, which will result in Earth's destruction.
Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reunite. At Druig's residence in the [Amazon rainforest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_rainforest "Amazon rainforest"), they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes they use the [Uni-Mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni-Mind_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Uni-Mind (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his [mind-control](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainwashing "Brainwashing") abilities. However, Ikaris is loyal to Arishem and refuses to help stop the Emergence. He reveals that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave, agreeing with Ikaris but not wanting to hurt his friends.
Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an [active volcano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_volcano "Active volcano") in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep, and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into stone. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but is unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind, and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into stone. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. Sersi uses the remaining Uni-Mind energy to turn Sprite into a human, ending her [permanent childlike state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puer_aeternus "Puer aeternus").
Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the *Domo* to warn Eternals on other planets of the Emergences. Whitman professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. He vows to return for judgment and takes the trio into a singularity.
In a [mid-credits scene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-credits_scene "Mid-credits scene"), Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal [Eros](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eros_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eros (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") and his assistant [Pip the Troll](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Pip (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"). In a post-credits scene, an unseen person[\[c\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-9) questions whether Whitman is ready to wield the [Ebony Blade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebony_Blade_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ebony Blade (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").

The cast of *Eternals* at the 2019 [San Diego Comic-Con](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Comic-Con "San Diego Comic-Con") (L to R): Madden, Nanjiani, Ridloff, Henry, Hayek, McHugh, Lee, and Jolie
- [Gemma Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemma_Chan "Gemma Chan") as [Sersi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sersi_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"):
An empathetic [Eternal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") with a strong connection to humanity and the Earth, who can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Sersi has been in love with Ikaris for centuries and has a strong connection with Sprite. In the present day, she is a [museum curator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_curator "Museum curator") on Earth and dating Dane Whitman.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanVogue-10)[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11) Producer [Kevin Feige](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Feige "Kevin Feige") said Sersi was the lead character of the film.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeApril2021-12) Director [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao") said she and Chan were interested in creating the kind of nuanced female superhero that they felt was rarely seen in the genre, and Zhao felt Chan had imbued the character with gentleness, compassion, and vulnerability that would "invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic".[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanVogue-10) Chan said Sersi was free-spirited and loved being around humans.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13)
- [Richard Madden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Madden "Richard Madden") as [Ikaris](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikaris_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"):
A powerful Eternal who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) Speaking to the relationship between Ikaris and Sersi, Madden said the fact that they had loved each other for centuries showed a "deep level of romance" between the two. They are on opposing sides of how the Eternals connect to the world, with Sersi having compassion for humans while Ikaris is more disconnected.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) The biggest struggle for Madden was showing that Ikaris has "seen everything and done everything" without the character coming across as bored.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) Zhao's take on Ikaris was influenced by director [Zack Snyder](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zack_Snyder "Zack Snyder")'s [interpretation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_\(DC_Extended_Universe\) "Superman (DC Extended Universe)") of [Superman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman "Superman") in *[Man of Steel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_of_Steel_\(film\) "Man of Steel (film)")* (2013) which left a strong impression on her for its "authentic and very real" approach.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SupermanInfluence-14)
- [Kumail Nanjiani](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumail_Nanjiani "Kumail Nanjiani") as [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"):
An Eternal who can create cosmic energy projectiles. Enamored with fame, Kingo becomes a popular [Bollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood "Bollywood") film star to blend in on Earth.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)[\[12\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-KingoBollywood-15) Nanjiani wanted to combine the wisecracking attitude of [John McClane](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McClane "John McClane") from the [*Die Hard* film series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Hard_\(film_series\) "Die Hard (film series)") with the look of Bollywood actor [Hrithik Roshan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hrithik_Roshan "Hrithik Roshan").[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Nanjiani2-16) He studied [Errol Flynn films](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errol_Flynn_filmography "Errol Flynn filmography") and some of the original [*Zorro* films](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zorro#Films "Zorro") to emulate "old school Hollywood stars whose characters really enjoyed fighting". Nanjiani, who is not a dancer, grew up watching [Bollywood dances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood_dance "Bollywood dance") and spent several months training for the film's own such sequence in hopes of capturing the same energy and joy.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCharactersAug2021-13) He underwent rigorous fitness training to build muscle for the role, despite [Marvel Studios](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Studios "Marvel Studios") being happy for him to look "normal", because Nanjiani saw an opportunity to create a South Asian superhero with a comparable physique to Superman and [Thor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thor (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[14\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NanjianiTraining-17) Nanjiani signed a contract to appear in six films, a video game, and a theme park ride.[\[15\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NanjianiContract-18)
- [Lia McHugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_McHugh "Lia McHugh") as [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"):
An Eternal who can project life-like illusions. Sprite is in a [permanent childlike state](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puer_aeternus "Puer aeternus"), appearing as a young girl despite being thousands of years old. The film explores her struggles with this,[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11) including her jealousy of humans who can grow old, know love, and have families.[\[16\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VultureEEs-19) She has an unrequited love for Ikaris which Kingo compares to that of [Tinker Bell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinker_Bell "Tinker Bell") for [Peter Pan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Pan_\(character\) "Peter Pan (character)").

Director [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao") promoting *Eternals* at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con
During late August, Marvel's director search for *Eternals* narrowed to a shortlist that included [Chloé Zhao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlo%C3%A9_Zhao "Chloé Zhao")—who had also been in the running to direct Marvel's *[Black Widow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Widow_\(2021_film\) "Black Widow (2021 film)")* (2021)—[Nicole Kassell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicole_Kassell "Nicole Kassell"), [Travis Knight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Knight "Travis Knight"), and the pair of [Cristina Gallego](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristina_Gallego "Cristina Gallego") and [Ciro Guerra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciro_Guerra "Ciro Guerra").[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36) Zhao approached Marvel Studios about making the film as she had been a fan of the MCU. She wanted to work with the studio to bring her own take and [world-building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World-building "World-building") to the franchise,[\[36\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoDec2020-39) and impressed them with a presentation that Feige described as fascinating, with "reams of visuals".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) Feige was also impressed with Zhao's passion for the project, since it was not a top priority for the studio.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistJan2026-41) Zhao worked with producer [Nate Moore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nate_Moore_\(film_producer\) "Nate Moore (film producer)") to develop her [pitch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_\(filmmaking\) "Pitch (filmmaking)"),[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) noting she became interested in the project after reading its [treatment](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_treatment "Film treatment") that read like a Greek play "where gods get to discuss everything about human nature based on their own relationship".[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistJan2026-41) The presentation left Marvel concerned that she might take on a different big-studio project instead of *Eternals*, forcing them to move quickly to secure her, and Zhao was hired as director in September.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36)[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao2-43) This was ahead of her beginning production on her film *[Nomadland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland "Nomadland")* (2020), with Zhao beginning to work on the *Eternals* script during the filming of *Nomadland*.[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoPlaylistJan2026-41) Zhao hoped to push the scope of the film further than Marvel's *[Avengers: Endgame](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Endgame "Avengers: Endgame")* (2019),[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) but also wanted it to have intimacy.[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoWriterJan2021-44) Zhao described the film as a melting pot of influences, taking from Kirby's original *Eternals* comics, [Neil Gaiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Gaiman "Neil Gaiman")'s [2006 comic book run](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(comics\)#Memory_loss_and_the_Dreaming_Celestial "Eternals (comics)"), previous MCU projects, and Zhao's love of science fiction and fantasy films and [manga](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga "Manga").[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Speaking specifically to her love of manga, she hoped those influences would create a "marriage of East and West".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) Zhao cited the television series *[Ancient Aliens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Aliens "Ancient Aliens")* (2009–present), the *[Final Fantasy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy "Final Fantasy")* video game franchise, concepts from [Yuval Noah Harari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuval_Noah_Harari "Yuval Noah Harari")'s book *[Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapiens:_A_Brief_History_of_Humankind "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind")* (2011), and the films of [Terrence Malick](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrence_Malick "Terrence Malick") as inspirations.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoNov2020-45)
Marvel saw *Eternals* as an opportunity to create an [ensemble film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_film "Ensemble film") that is not a [crossover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_\(fiction\) "Crossover (fiction)"), similar to *[Guardians of the Galaxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_\(film\) "Guardians of the Galaxy (film)")* (2014), and to introduce relatively unknown characters to audiences as they did with the [Guardians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_\(2008_team\) "Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)") and the [Avengers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers_\(comics\) "Avengers (comics)").[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeFeb2019-46) The studio also considered *Eternals* to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films along with projects such as *[Captain Marvel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Marvel_\(film\) "Captain Marvel (film)")* (2019),[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao2-43) allowing them to cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals.[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Zhao-36) Moore's initial planning documents for the project included the swapping of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters, and Zhao further advocated for this approach.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeApril2021-12) In February 2019, Feige reiterated that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning story,[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FeigeFeb2019-46) with the film version covering 7,000 years and exploring humanity's place in the cosmos.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Zhao said the Eternals "have lived among us for so long, \[they have\] the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal freedom versus greater good—all the duality and flaws that make us human". With a story that spans so many years, the characters' relationships evolve like a complex family unit where friends "turn into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship". Zhao considered the Earth to be an eleventh character in the film.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)
Zhao continued working on a draft of the script throughout early 2019, which built upon the multiple drafts submitted by the Firpos. Approximately four months ahead of filming, the script was not finalized. Moore introduced Zhao to [Patrick Burleigh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Burleigh "Patrick Burleigh"), who had been part of Marvel's writers program, in the hopes that Burleigh could assist with the writing. Zhao hired him to work on the screenplay, which he did for about three months ahead of filming. Burleigh believed Zhao needed to write on the film as well as direct to "process the film through her own filter", and said her draft showed that she was "trying to make the Terrence Malick version of a Marvel film"; Zhao cited Malick's film *[The Tree of Life](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tree_of_Life_\(film\) "The Tree of Life (film)")* (2011) as a particular inspiration. Burleigh said his work on the script was mostly "structural" to find "the flow of the film", and likened the story to a [road trip film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_trip_film "Road trip film").[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BurleighTHR-47)
> "I wanted it to reflect the world we live in. But also I wanted to put a cast together that feels like a group of misfits. I didn't want the jocks.

At the 2019 [San Diego Comic-Con](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Comic-Con "San Diego Comic-Con"), Feige officially announced *The Eternals* with a release date of November 6, 2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as [Thena](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thena_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Nanjiani as [Kingo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingo_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Lee as [Gilgamesh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilgamesh_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), Madden as Ikaris, and Hayek as [Ajak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajak_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), along with [Lauren Ridloff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauren_Ridloff "Lauren Ridloff") as [Makkari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Makkari_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), [Brian Tyree Henry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tyree_Henry "Brian Tyree Henry") as [Phastos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phastos_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), and [Lia McHugh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_McHugh "Lia McHugh") as [Sprite](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[53\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-McHugh-56) Zhao looked for actors for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character".[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11) Feige added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character,[\[54\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-LGBTQ-57) with actor [Haaz Sleiman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haaz_Sleiman "Haaz Sleiman") later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film. Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film. Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous media.[\[18\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SleimanFeb2020-21) Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story" and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film,[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) while Sleiman said it was a "thoughtful" depiction.[\[55\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SleimanJan2021-58)
*Eternals* is set around eight months after the events of *Avengers: Endgame*,[\[56\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EternalsTimeline-59) and addresses why the Eternals did not interfere in any previous conflicts in the MCU. Both Feige and Moore said the film would have "major ripple effects" on the future of the MCU, and at times, it was "a challenge" to balance the grounded nature of the MCU with the "mythic grandeur" of the Eternals property.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWCoverStoryAug2021-11)

She was able to use a similar style to her previous films, including 360° shots and working with the same camera and rigs as were used for her film *[Nomadland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland "Nomadland")* (2020),[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) which Zhao was set to complete [back-to-back](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-to-back_film_production "Back-to-back film production") with *Eternals*.[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) Zhao felt that she "got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different".[\[37\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoSept2020-40) Zhao cited *[The Revenant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Revenant_\(2015_film\) "The Revenant (2015 film)")* (2015) as a primary influence when composing the film's action sequences.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoRevenantInfluence-63)
[Gemma Chan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemma_Chan "Gemma Chan") and [Barry Keoghan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Keoghan "Barry Keoghan") were in talks to join the cast in August 2019.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Chan-64)[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Keoghan-65) Chan previously portrayed [Minn-Erva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minn-Erva_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Minn-Erva (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") in *Captain Marvel*, but reports noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate character in this film.[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Chan-64) Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for the film to cast.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanTHRDec2020-66) Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at the [D23 Expo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D23_\(Disney\) "D23 (Disney)") in August, in the roles of Sersi and [Druig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druig_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)"), respectively, along with [Kit Harington](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Harington "Kit Harington") as [Dane Whitman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dane_Whitman_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)").[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-D232019-67) Chan said she and Marvel Studios were surprised by how soon after *Captain Marvel* her new MCU role came, with both assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanTHRDec2020-66) [Harish Patel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harish_Patel "Harish Patel") was cast at the end of August as [Karun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karun_Patel "Karun Patel"), Kingo's manager,[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PatelNews18-68)[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PatelHindustanTimes-69) and filmed his role from September 2019 until January 2020.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-PatelNews18-68)
By early November, filming had taken place in the [Canary Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_Islands "Canary Islands"). The cast and crew, including Jolie and Madden, had to be evacuated from a shooting location on the island of [Fuerteventura](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuerteventura "Fuerteventura") when an explosive device, thought to be a remnant armament from a Nazi base, was found there.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Canary-70) Later that month, [Zain Al Rafeea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zain_Al_Rafeea "Zain Al Rafeea") joined the cast.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Rafeea-28)[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Rafeea2-71) In early January 2020, filming took place outside the [Oxford University Museum of Natural History](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_University_Museum_of_Natural_History "Oxford University Museum of Natural History") in [Oxford](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford "Oxford"), England,[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Oxford-72) as well as [Hampstead Heath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampstead_Heath "Hampstead Heath") and in [Camden](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camden_Town "Camden Town") in London,[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-London-73)[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Camden-74) under the [working title](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_title "Working title") *Sack Lunch*.[\[71\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Camden-74)[\[72\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-WorkingTitle-75) Chan said the filming process felt very different from what she experienced on *Captain Marvel*, explaining that *Eternals* shot more on location and used natural light while *Captain Marvel* had more studio work and bluescreens.[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ChanTHRDec2020-66) Filming [wrapped](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrap_\(filmmaking\) "Wrap (filmmaking)") on February 4, 2020.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Wrap-76)
In March 2020, [Scanline VFX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanline_VFX "Scanline VFX"), one of the companies working on the film's visual effects, confirmed that they would be working remotely due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ScanLineVFX-77) [Industrial Light & Magic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Light_%26_Magic "Industrial Light & Magic"), [Luma Pictures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luma_Pictures "Luma Pictures"), [RISE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_FX "Rise FX"), and [Weta Digital](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weta_Digital "Weta Digital") also worked on the film's visual effects.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-78) In early April, Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of films due to the pandemic, moving *The Eternals*' release date to February 12, 2021.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Phase4Delay-79) In August, the film's title was officially shortened from *The Eternals* to *Eternals*,[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NoThe-80) and the next month, the release date was pushed back to November 5, 2021.[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Phase4DelayAgain-81) Reshoots had taken place by mid-November 2020.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RidloffReshoots-82)

Tichenor added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback and were still working on the editing in April 2021.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TichenorWood-84) At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film was in its "final stretch",[\[39\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoApril2021-42) and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the film, after previously starring in Zhao's film *[Songs My Brothers Taught Me](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_My_Brothers_Taught_Me "Songs My Brothers Taught Me")* (2015).[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-StJohn-85)

The first footage of the film was released in May 2021, as part of a promotional video from Marvel Studios celebrating their films and a return to theaters in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VergeSizzleFootage-94)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NerdistSizzleFootage-95) Though the footage was limited and "vague", Hoai-Tran Bui at *[/Film](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki//Film "/Film")* still felt it was "very exciting".[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-/FilmSizzleFootage-96) Chaim Gartenberg of *[The Verge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Verge "The Verge")* felt one of the biggest moments of the footage was seeing Jolie wielding a sword made of light. He was also encouraged that *Eternals* appeared to be one of Marvel's first films to "deliver on \[their\] years-long promise of creating films with more diverse casts".[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VergeSizzleFootage-94) *[Nerdist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerdist "Nerdist")*'s Michael Arbeiter said the footage was quick, but felt that it "manages an air of wonderment".[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-NerdistSizzleFootage-95)
The first teaser for the film was released on May 24, 2021. Gartenberg felt the teaser was light on plot elements, with it instead focusing on the "civilization-spanning scope of the superhero team and its members throughout human history". He also believed the film was "a big swing" from Marvel Studios to entice audiences with a lesser-known comics property, but believed that it would succeed due to its diverse cast of well-known actors and Zhao's status as "one of the most exciting directors around".[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VergeTeaser-97) *[io9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Io9 "Io9")*'s Charlies Pulliam-Moore felt the trailer was a "multiple millennia-spanning recap of Earth's history", and said it was unclear how much the larger MCU would impact on the film outside of a brief reference to the Avengers at the end of the trailer.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-io9Teaser-98) Writing for *[Entertainment Weekly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Weekly "Entertainment Weekly")*, Nick Romano felt the teaser was a combination of "thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments" and some jokes.[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWTeaser-99) Erik Adams of *[The A.V. Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A.V._Club "The A.V. Club")* felt the spot teased some fresh angles for the MCU in a similar way to *[Thor: Ragnarok](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor:_Ragnarok "Thor: Ragnarok")* (2017) and *Guardians of the Galaxy* (2014), and he enjoyed the images of Kingo's Bollywood dance, Sprite performing karaoke, and the end scene of the Eternals eating together and joking about the Avengers.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-AVClubTeaser-100) After seeing the teaser, *Variety*'s Adam B. Vary described the film as "unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyTeaser-1) Adele Ankers of *[IGN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IGN "IGN")* discussed the poster that was released at the same time as the trailer, highlighting how the Eternals appear in silhouette against a sunlit background which she described as "another taste of Chloé Zhao's signature filming style and the use of natural light to illuminate a frame" that would be seen in the film.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-IGNTeaserPoster-101) Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one trending video on [YouTube](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube "YouTube") and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24 hours.[\[99\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TeaserViews-102) Disney's president of marketing Asad Ayaz said the teaser was designed to just be an introduction to the characters and tone and not give much of the film away, adding the marketing team would be "very judicious" on when more material would be revealed, while also using the releases of *Black Widow* and *[Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shang-Chi_and_the_Legend_of_the_Ten_Rings "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings")* before *Eternals* to help expose audiences to the characters.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-AyazJun2021-103)
The final trailer was released in August 2021, with Ethan Shanfeld and Manori Ravindran of *Variety* feeling it was "more serious in tone" than the teaser with the Eternals "grappling with the prospect of emerging after centuries living apart in order to help humans".[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyFinalTrailer-104) *Entertainment Weekly*'s Devan Coggan felt that the trailer was the "best glimpse yet" of the film and gave a "sense of the vast scale and scope of the film", while answering "one important question" about the absence of the Eternals during the conflict against [Thanos](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanos_\(Marvel_Cinematic_Universe\) "Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)") in *Avengers: Infinity War* and *Avengers: Endgame*.[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EWFinalTrailer-105) Aaron Couch at *[The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter")* said the trailer "reveals much of \[the film's\] plot as well as its characters' powers, teasing the answers to key questions about who the Eternals answer to, their relationship to Earth and why they ultimately didn't intervene" in the conflict against Thanos.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-THRFinalTrailer-106)

In May 2021, a Chinese state media report excluded *Eternals*, as well as *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings*, from its list of upcoming MCU films releasing, which *Variety* noted "added to rumors" that the films would not be released in China, especially since Zhao had become "an unexpected *[persona non grata](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_non_grata "Persona non grata")*" in the country after she was scrutinized by Chinese [netizens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netizens "Netizens") over her remarks in a 2013 interview with *[Filmmaker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filmmaker_\(magazine\) "Filmmaker (magazine)")* magazine in which she described China as "a place where there are lies everywhere".[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyChinaReleaseMay2021-115)[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-VarietyGoldenGlobesMarch2021-116)[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SouthChinaMorningPostApril2021-117) By September 2021, *[Deadline Hollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadline_Hollywood "Deadline Hollywood")* reported it remained "an open question" if the Chinese government or Zhao would attempt to "rehabilitate" the situation, but it "seems likely" the film would not be released in China following the country's response to *Nomadland* as well as *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings* likely not being released in the country either following backlash to comments made by star [Simu Liu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simu_Liu "Simu Liu") in 2017.[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-DeadlineChinaReleaseSep2021-118)

And I'm proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don't understand how we live in a world today where there's still \[people who\] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love.

It made these Arab countries looks \[*[sic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic "Sic")*\] so ignorant and pathetic. I have no respect for those governments. They have displayed to the world that they are not only a disgrace to humanity, but to God. Hopefully this will inspire the Saudi people, the Kuwaiti people and the people in Qatar to fight back."[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-MiddleEast-121) Marvel later agreed to cut any kind of love scenes, including the gay couple kiss for the film's release in [Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia "Indonesia"), which received praise from the Indonesian [Film Censorship Board](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_Censorship_Board "Film Censorship Board") (LSF).[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-IndoCensor-122)

Advanced ticket sales for *Eternals* were estimated to be \$2.6 million in its first 24 hours, outpacing those for *Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings* (\$1.4 million) and *Black Widow* (\$2 million) during the same time frame, while [AMC Theatres](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_Theatres "AMC Theatres") had the largest first-day sales of 2021 for the film.[\[133\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-DeadlineAdvanceTickets-136) In November, [Fandango](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandango_Media "Fandango Media") reported that pre-sales for *Eternals* were the second-largest of 2021, behind *Black Widow*.[\[134\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-FandangoProjections-137) In October, *[Boxoffice Pro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxoffice_Pro "Boxoffice Pro")* initially projected that the film would earn \$82–102 million within its opening weekend, and around \$210–280 million in total domestic box office.[\[135\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BoxofficeProProjections-138) At the end of the month, *Boxoffice Pro* modified their projections to \$67–92 million for the film's opening weekend, and around \$165–215 million in total domestic box office, due to mixed early critical reception.[\[136\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BoxofficeProProjections2-139) According to *[Deadline Hollywood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadline_Hollywood "Deadline Hollywood")*, *Eternals* was expected to earn \$75 million within its domestic opening weekend, and around \$150 million globally.[\[137\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-WorldwideOpening-140)

Its opening weekend earned \$71.3 million from 5.5 million theater admissions, making it the top film of the weekend.[\[138\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BoxOfficeMojo-141) IMAX accounted for over \$7.6 million over the weekend. This marked the fourth-largest opening weekend of the pandemic. The domestic opening weekend gross was lower than various pre-release projections. *Deadline* attributed this to the film's overall mixed reception from critics and audiences.[\[132\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EternalsPostTrak-135) In its second weekend, *Eternals* remained the top film, grossing over \$27.5 million.[\[139\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BO2ndWknd-142) *Eternals* became the [sixth-highest-grossing film of 2021 in the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_films_of_2021 "List of American films of 2021").[\[140\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-2021Boxoffice-143)

Charlotte O'Sullivan of the *[Evening Standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evening_Standard "Evening Standard")* described the film as "lavish" and "ambitious", and praised the fight sequences as "astounding, beautifully paced and crammed with detail".[\[148\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-EveningStandardReview-151) Robert Abele of *[TheWrap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheWrap "TheWrap")* commended the cinematography and felt "an earnestness to the operatic stakes".[\[149\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheWrapReview-152) Oliver Jones of the *[Observer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer.com "Observer.com")* called it "full of wonder and romance and fueled by an agenda and audacity all its own".[\[150\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ObserverReview-153) [Owen Gleiberman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Gleiberman "Owen Gleiberman") was disappointed over Zhao's missing filmmaking style that shaped her films *[The Rider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rider_\(film\) "The Rider (film)")* (2017) and *[Nomadland](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomadland "Nomadland")* (2020) to "embrace the straight-up expository conventionality of Marvel filmmaking", but felt that the film was a "squarely fun and gratifying watch".[\[151\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-GleibermanVariety-154) Moira Macdonald of *[The Seattle Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seattle_Times "The Seattle Times")* thought "it's got some pretty slow spots midfilm and it's desperately in need of a bit more wit ... what it does have is a palpable, artful mood; this is a movie full of superheroes who spend time thinking and feeling, and of special effects that aren't just zippy but often delicately elegant".[\[152\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheSeattleTimesReview-155)
Linda Marric of *[The Jewish Chronicle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jewish_Chronicle "The Jewish Chronicle")* described it as "a mishmash of well-meaning, yet jarringly verbose and bafflingly incoherent nonsense which is only just about saved by some half decent performances";[\[153\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheJewishChronicleReview-156) Nicholas Barber of *[BBC Culture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Culture "BBC Culture")* called Zhao's direction "workmanlike";[\[154\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-BBCReview-157) and Clarisse Loughrey of *[The Independent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Independent "The Independent")* said that it "strives for the same expansive soulfulness" as *Nomadland* "but discovers there's room enough only for the occasional burst of it".[\[155\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheIndependentReview-158) Brian Truitt of *[USA Today](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USA_Today "USA Today")* praised Zhao's "penchant for naturalistic environments", but wrote that the narrative "struggles to juggle its many subplots and tries to do too much".[\[156\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-USATodayReview-159) Mark Kennedy of the [Associated Press](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press "Associated Press") criticized the dialogue and fight scenes, but praised the visual effects and Nanjiani's performance.[\[157\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-AssociatedPressReview-160) Shirley Li of *[The Atlantic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Atlantic "The Atlantic")* felt that "Zhao's delicate examination of her characters outshines *Eternals*' duller and more convoluted moments".[\[158\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheAtlanticReview-161)
[Robbie Collin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Collin "Robbie Collin") wrote the film was "constantly engaged in a kind of grit-toothed authenticity theatre, going out of its way to show you it's doing all the things proper cinema does, even though none of them bring any discernible benefit";[\[159\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheDailyTelegraphReview-162) [Kevin Maher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Maher_\(writer\) "Kevin Maher (writer)") felt "a strange self-sabotaging energy at the heart";[\[160\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheTimesReview-163) and Steve Rose of *[The Guardian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guardian "The Guardian")* missed "the breezy wit of Marvel's best movies ... like coming into *[Avengers: Endgame](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avengers:_Endgame "Avengers: Endgame")* cold without having seen any of the preceding installments".[\[161\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-TheGuardianReview-164) K. Austin Collins of *[Rolling Stone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_Stone "Rolling Stone")* felt that the film was "good at telling us where to look, at impressing us with its manufactured sense of grandeur", but lacked "any credible sense of what's actually worth seeing".[\[162\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-RollingStoneReview-165) [Justin Chang](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Chang "Justin Chang") of the *[Los Angeles Times](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times "Los Angeles Times")* had a "depressing realization that you've just seen one of the more interesting movies Marvel will ever make, and hopefully the least interesting one Chloé Zhao will ever make".[\[163\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-LosAngelesTimesReview-166) Brian Lowry of [CNN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN "CNN") thought "the movie's structural flaws offset its stunning visuals and strong performances".[\[164\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-CNNReview-167) [Kyle Smith](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Smith_\(critic\) "Kyle Smith (critic)") of *[National Review](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Review "National Review")* was harsher, describing it as "one of the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite, and least human" of the MCU films.[\[165\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-SmithNationalReview-168)
The mixed reception surprised some commentators, given the MCU's positive track record and the acclaim of Zhao's previous work. Richard Newby of *[The Hollywood Reporter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hollywood_Reporter "The Hollywood Reporter")* wrote that "much of the criticism of Kirby's work", which was divisive for its subject matter and relationship to the wider [Marvel Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Universe "Marvel Universe"), "has followed Zhao in her adaptation." He compared the divided response to that of Zack Snyder's [DC Extended Universe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Extended_Universe "DC Extended Universe") (DCEU) films *Man of Steel* and *[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_v_Superman:_Dawn_of_Justice "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice")* (2016), writing that they and *Eternals* share "a deconstructive approach to superheroes and force them to question their purpose in the world, through meditative and melancholy narrative beats, and a tragic yet hopeful ending." This approach, he felt, subverted critics' and audiences' expectations, which made them review the film more harshly.[\[166\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-THRDividing-169) Zhao addressed some of the criticisms of the film, believing some of the division came from everyone "having an existential crisis" because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the film being an "existential crisis, both for humanity and God". She also felt the reactions to how the film incorporated her filmmaking sensibilities with Marvel's were "a testament to how much we had merged with each other; how uncomfortable that might make people feel".[\[167\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ZhaoCriticismResponse-170)
The film was given the Seal of Authentic Representation from the [Ruderman Family Foundation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruderman_Family_Foundation "Ruderman Family Foundation") for Ridloff's role as Makkari. The seal is given to films and series that feature actors with disabilities who have at least five lines of dialogue.[\[168\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-Ruderman-171) *Eternals* was also one of 28 films that received [the ReFrame Stamp](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_ReFrame_Stamp "The ReFrame Stamp") for 2021, awarded by the gender equity coalition [ReFrame](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFrame "ReFrame") for films that are proven to have gender-balanced hiring.[\[169\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternals_\(film\)#cite_note-ReFrame-172)
