Though the film has previously been pimped at both this year's San Diego Comic-Con and D23, Kevin Feige has taken the opportunity of his appearance at Brazil's CCXP event to spill more details about Marvel's The Eternals.
While the MCU team is following the massive Avengers: Endgame and the Euro-tripping Spider-Man: Far From Home with the slightly more grounded Black Widow, Eternals will expand the reach of the MCU to an even grander level. Based upon Jack Kirby’s comic creations, the film will introduce a group of immortals called the Eternals and their rivals, the Deviants.
"The Eternals is an epic that spans 7,000 years of human history, has cosmic connotations, and changes everything we know about the MCU," Feige explained to coverage site Omelete. "It’s ambitious, and takes…from present-day to Mesopotamia to all sorts of locations and time periods and really feels like nothing we’ve done before."
And if you were wondering how the film adaptation – directed by Chloé Zhao and starring Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Kit Harington and Kumail Nanjiani, among others – would feature a real sampling of the galactically powerful characters, Feige is quick to assure fans that's the case, albeit in typically altered MCU style. "We will see the Celestials in their full, true, enormous power in Eternals, yes," Feige says. "Deviants are in the film. The Deviants in the comic book mythology were extremely important plans of the Celestials and we will see Deviants that look unlike anything we’ve seen in the comics. This is a new form of Deviants that we’ll see in the movie."
The film is scheduled for release on 6 November next year. The full interview with Feige is below.
