Marvel boss Kevin Feige: Possibility of an "Eternals" film being actively discussed
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
Hey DC! Where's your New Gods? C'mon, step up!
Man, MARVEL could make a war drama starring Howard The Duck and it would sell gangbusters at this stage.
EDIT:
Oh it's a nothing-burger

Marvel Boss Kevin Feige Confirms that someone once said the word eternals in the parking lot of the Marvel Offices
And by the end of next year it will be in movie theaters, be good fun and do 1 billion dollars at the boxoffice worldwide.
Sounds like it's as much in development as the Power Pack movie.
Highly evolved humanoids created by the Celestials.

I wonder if they are planning a route of only a few heroes getting solo movies and the rest getting crossover/minor event films. Otherwise not sure how they can do a traditional Spiderman 2/3, Doctor Strange 2/3, Black Panther 2/3, Ant-Man 3, Captain Marvel 1/2/3, and so on and still have room for new characters.
Could probably combine some of these into something. Don't mess with something as successful as Black Panther, probably, but it wouldn't surprise me if Eternals is also Captain Marvel 2 and also the introduction to Nova or another character or something.

The eternals were made by the celestials (giant robot looking dudes who basically seeded the universe to create life). They made a group of super powered human- looking creatures and a race of more twisted beings called the deviants and basically turned them loose against each other just to see what happened. The celestials did the same thing with the kree and the skrulls if you want a parallel. They're basically in a never ending war with each other.
They're sort of like mini-gods because they live a really long time and are near indestructible. Kind of a more powerful inhumans.
Eternals are like the inhumans but created by Celestials instead of Kree.
Thanos is the most famous. There is also his brother Starfox who is totally rapey but is considered a good guy.

Yeah, they mirrored their creators by doing it, but I'm pretty sure they made the inhumans in an experiment to try to kickstart their own evolutionary process which had stalled out.
this an easy way to introduce mutants into the MCU. Unless you wanted to just say humans evolved biological superpowers on their own.
The Eternal are like 10x more obscure than the Inhumans which tells me that Feige would have made an Inhumans movie if Perlmutter wasn't trying to rush the hell out of the property by introducing the concept and characters on TV.
Oh thank god.
Kevin, drop that shit and start working on your slate of X-Men movies.
Gambit, Excalibur, X-Factor, Gambit, Starjammers, X-Man, Gambit. You want it, I want it.

Ah yes, now that I remember, it's that limited series with Cersi and Makkari. A frame by frame adaptation of the Gaiman comics should be a no-brainer.
I'm more trying to say that other movies would take priority over it I'd imagine, kind of like how Spidey immediately cut to the front of the line
I hope they will do the eternals as a stepping stone to putting Jonathan Hickmans run on film and heavily imply like he does that the entire ma MARVEL Multiverse is a simulation run by the Beyonders.
While the typical Skrulls are the Deviant branch of their own species, their conflict with the Kree doesn't really have much to do with the Celestial mythology; it was caused by the Skrulls holding a contest between the Kree and another race to see who'd they become business partners with, and when the Kree lost, they got pissed, killed a bunch of Skrulls, and stole their tech.
Well, yeah. But this seems like it would be a bit later in Phase 4 anyway.
Marvel Studios' X-Men will absolutely cut in line. As it should.
Yeah here's how I see it. With the Fox deal, stuff like F4 and X-Men will take some priority. Eternals could be something coming out of the GotG side of the characters. But then again, the Ravagers also got some buzz about becoming its own spin off eventually back when Vol. 2 was released.

I seem to recall virtually everyone saying the exact same thing about GotG in 2014 and then acting real quiet when it was a huge hit.
Obscure, maybe, but everyone was enthusiastic and wanted GoTG to do good knowing the property. This is more of the Inhumans vibe of meh. They don't bring anything to the MCU that Inhumans didn't offer and are even less recognizable. Great Lakes Avengers would probably do better.
would be nice if you took back that Fox/Marvel rumor you endorsed for some reason, btw
People swore Inhumans would do good too. Just because it's MCU doesn't mean everything is going to take off or do good.
Ten years deep, on the verge of an Infinity Gauntlet adaptation, and these are thoughts that still run through your mind.
I dunno what to say.

I knew Umberto was working on it for about a week. Guess he waited until he talked to Feige to run it. He told me last week he was working on confirming stuff about it.
I remember you saying that. It's still a good 'get', especially one to launch your new site with.
So you think Eternals as a movie would take off and be fine because?? I had hesitations about GoTG doing good back in the day but I always said I hoped it would end up surprising everyone and doing well because of the actual long history of the comics and the sheer awesomeness of the characters and storylines they had. The only property I ever outright said "nah, not gonna work" was Inhumans, guess what? You do you but it's a real dangerous mentality to take of "its MCU so everything can succeed because reasons". Characters and story and how they would translate to screen are things that matter. And Marvel needs to start carefully considering their next moves with the Infinity Stones arc coming to a close if they can't keep people's interest. I will be pissed if things go bad before they can get FF properties in MCU and don't do Annihilation.
"Real dangerous mentality," like he's working with yellow cake uranium.
I hate talking to people on the internet about superheroes sometimes.
The quote reads like a throw away comment from Feige though, states that the Eternals are "one of many many many things" they are discussing.
Yet you close your article claiming that Feige has confirmed they are heading for the MCU. A little disingenuous maybe?
