Eternals The Eternals General Disscussion and Speculation thread

[Loden Greatstorm]

Wish we could get a teaser soon.

Hopefully he can stay like that for good now for health reasons anyway.

By the time this movie comes out he'll be back to his old shape. At the movie premiere people will ask if he had a body double or was CGI-ed

 

[Silvermoth]

Maybe that’s for the best. Everyone looking super ripped all the time is maybe not the healthiest body image wise

 

[Albright]

pretty sure they‘ll delay until May, so he‘ll might be in his form again because of summer

Seems most likely.

 

[Dark Raven]

During lockdown we'll get fat Thor and fat Kingo, but they'll be back in shape in time for the premieres.

 

[Albright]

They changed the title and moved up the release date (for 6 days).
Looks like they‘re confident for a February release - which means:
we‘ll get a trailer soon (6 months prior)
and that they‘re not planning to delay BW again and rearange the shedule
So if they won‘t be able to release BW in November, they‘ll go full Mulan

Director Chloe Zhao Arrives With Early Oscar Contender 'Nomadland' and Next Year's 'Eternals': "It's a Bit Surreal" | Hollywood Reporter

When Zhao met with Disney-owned Marvel about the Eternals job, says Feige, she brought reams of visuals to deliver a compelling pitch about 10 little-known immortal Marvel characters in a story set after the events of the last Avengers movie. "Her initial pitch to us was fascinating," says Feige. "And frankly one of the reasons we moved forward on the movie was because of the vision that she brought to it." One of the ideas Zhao embedded in Eternals was stylistic and rooted in her childhood. "I have such deep, strong, manga roots," says Zhao. “I brought some of that into Eternals. And I look forward to pushing more of that marriage of East and West." Zhao also was pushing big thematic ideas — Eternals is literally about the history of humanity. "How much further and bigger can we go after [Avengers:] Endgame?" asks Zhao. "Because I’m not just making the film as a director. I’m making the film as a fan."

Despite working with a much bigger budget than she ever had before, Zhao says she was allowed the same creative freedom on Eternals that she had grown used to on her smaller films. "I shot exactly the way I wanted to shoot," she says. "On location. A lot of magic hour. Three-hundred-sixty degrees on the same camera as I did on Nomadland. Same rigs. It’s a bit surreal. I’m still waiting for the shoe to drop. It hasn’t. I think I got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different."

An LGBTQ relationship in the film "was always sort of inherent in the story and the makeup of the different types of Eternals," says Feige. "I think it is extremely well done, and I look forward to that level of inclusion in our future movies being less of a topic."

Among the movie’s unexpected set pieces is a Bollywood dance sequence, with some 50 dancers. "When I walked onto the set and saw a huge group of brown people who were going to be in a Marvel movie, I felt such gratitude towards Chloé for creating the situation," says Pakistani-American actor Kumail Nanjiani, who plays an Eternal who also happens to be a Bollywood star. "The scene was full of joy."

With her multicultural cast, which also includes Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek and a deaf actress named Lauren Ridloff, Zhao describes a vision of an outsider’s superhero movie. "I wanted it to reflect the world we live in," she says. "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. You see them as individuals."

Can't wait!​

‘Nomadland’: How Chloé Zhao Made a Secret Road Movie While Becoming a Marvel Director

While Phase 4 of the MCU remains shrouded in secrecy, “Eternals” is already known as a boundary-breaking film with the series’ first LGBT character and an Indian hero played by Kumail Nanjiani. Zhao, who has the kind of gentle, muted presence embodied by her movies, shrugged off the pressure of the commercial enterprise. “I’ve been a fan of the MCU for over a decade, so it makes sense for me to jump into a Marvel movie,” she said. “I want to make films that last, that have a timeless feel to them, that aren’t just a flash in the pan with whatever topic is trending on Twitter right now. I’m not interested in that stuff.”

...hasn‘t happened yet

 

[Iceman]

He’s selling it well (even given that he’s in it lol).

 

[Albright]

I‘m afraid he speaks the truth.
Marvel Studios doesn‘t know, what to do with BW and this might result in a shifting of releases again. Eternals in May - then we could expect a trailer around December at earliest.

IF Oscars really happen in April. I doubt it. Cant wait to see Nomadland 3rd Oct!
The reviews are really amazing.

 

[NotNickFury]

Pretty big push back for The Eternals.

 

[Albright]

Every movie now being delayed for almost a year...but why does Shang Chi being placed now between BW and Eternals (which isn’t completed other than Eternals)

 

[KaijuDude1992]

This is going to the most excruciating wait ever. We just can't seem to get this movie unless Black Widow comes out first and that forking sucks IMO, because this was always one of my most anticipated Marvel films.

At least we are still likely getting WandaVison this year, but man the wait for The Eternals and Multiverse of Madness is going to hurt, but hopefully it ends up being worth it.

 

[Albright]

This sucks the most... one year from now we haven‘t seen it yet.
It will be 9 months minimum when we really something of this movie...stills, concept art and of course a trailer.
9 months ago we didn’t even know about that bench corona

Every movie now being delayed for almost a year...but why does Shang Chi being placed now between BW and Eternals (which isn’t completed other than Eternals)

Either because of some connection to the television side of things or because Eternals is harder to market so they don't want to put it in the summer blockbuster months.

 

[Albright]

A movie with so many famous faces and probably connections to Thanos is harder to market than a movie with many unknown actors?
