Eternals promises to be a Marvel movie like no other. Not only does the up☂coming release have Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao at t꧒he helm, but the story promises to dive further into MCU lore than any other film or TV series so far.
The Eternals themselves are alien beings that have lived for millennia. They are Earth’s protectors, yet t🅘he group did not interfere when Thanos was amassing Infinity Stones.
“[The audience] will understand why,” Zhao assures 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film in the upcoming issue of the magazine, . "Not o🐻nly why, but how complicated not interfering made them feel. We explore that. You’ll see that in the film. The Eternals were instructed not to interfere with any human conflict unless Deviants are involved. There’s a reason why that’s the case𝔍. And that was the instruction from the prime Celestial Arishem."
The Celestials have already had an impact in the MCU, as we've previously seen one of these great beings – Eson the Searcher – stomping around the universe and using the Power Stone in a flashback during 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Guardians of the Galaxy. We've also met the Celestial, St꧒ar Lord's father Ego.
Eternals promises to bring in more Celestial mythology, the movie heading back in time &ndas♏h; and having big repercussions on things to come.
"What excited me is the idea of going back in time, and exploring [the time] before Thanos was born, before anyone was born," Zhao says. "Where does the MCU go back in time? And that brings us to the mythology of the Celestials. Anything involving the Celestials is going to be at 𒁏a huge scale level of compliꦫcation, let’s put it that way.”
Eternals is set to open in cinemas on 5 November.
