Eternals actor on the MCU’s first ever sex scene: "A special, delicate thing"
Richard Madden on how the wat🥀ershed moment enhances a new Marvel relaඣtionship

Let’s talk about sex. Despite being around for over a decade, the MCU has barely broached the topic. In fact, the only prominent Marvel sex scene of note can be found over on Netflix with Jessica Jones. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Marvel Studios, for the most part, has kept things rela🐟tively♛ chaste.
Until now, that is. Eternals is set to feature the MCU’s💙 first sex scene, between Etern♔als Ikaris (Richard Madden) and Sersi (Gemma Chan).
Speaking to GamesRadar+, Madden explains why the watershed moment was integral to the movie a♛nd the chꦦaracters’ relationship.
"I think there was something nice about having an intimate scene where you see these characters who do make love… showing an intimacy in their relationship oveꦰr the years. Much like the diversity in the film, I feel like that intimate moment is also something that should be normalized," says Madden.
"I think it gives an insight into a very intimate moment in the lives of people who are actuall🥂y very private and untouchable beings. To see them be intimate together is a special, delicate 𝔉thing."
Co-star Kit Hari♚ngton has also spoken about how Eternals mixes things up in another way – by "reinventing"ജ parts of the Marvel formula to bring more diversity and inclusivity into the fold.
"That’s huge in this movie. I think the significance of that is massive," Harington says. "A De൩af young person around the world can see this movie, that’s massive."
