Eternals director Chloé Zhao has explained the reference to Superm🐟an in the upcoming Marvel movie.

A recent Eternals featurette 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:included a name drop of the DC hero, with the son of Brian Tyree Henry's Phastos thinking Richard Madden's Ikaris is the Man of Steel himself: "Da♊d, that's Superman – with the cape... and you were shooting laser beams out of your eyes."

, Zhao revealed how the DC hero came to be part of the MCU. "I take responsibility for that," she said.

"You write it on the page, show it to Kevin [Feige, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios Presi🌃den🥀t], if he doesn't say anything, that's a go," Zhao added. "I don't think there was a conversation. Not really, except, he goes, 'Oh, that’s cool.'"

As for why Superman was🥂 mentioned, that all has to do with Eternals' focus on humankind's myths🐓 and legends. 

"We're playing on a genre that draws so much from mythology, and Superman, for example, was created in the comics and also by these brilliant filmmakers along the way – they're modern reinterpretations of a mythical characters that exist in different cultures," Zhao explained. "Ikaris is our interpretation of it. It doesn't mean we can't pay tribute to the really iconic ve💙rsion that we've all grown to love and has influenced us."

While we might not be seeing Superman fly t꧃o the Avengers' aid anytime soon, then, it’s still a cool crossover – and the first time a DC character has been directly referenced in t🐻he MCU.
