Eternals, the next Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero film, is set to hit cinemas in India and around the world this week. The film is based on Marvel's superhero comic book series of the same name, and is the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a part of its Phase Four. The movie is directed by Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao and has an ensemble cast including Gemma Chan, Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, and Kit Harington. The filming of the movie took place in Pinewood Studios in England as well as on location in London and Oxford in England and in the Canary Islands.

She can manipulate inanimate matters and pretends to be a museum curator on Earth while dating Dane Whitman, played by Kit Harington. In an interview with Variety, Eternals producer Kevin Feige said about casting Chan, “...and if there was a lead in this ensemble, it is Sersi, it is Gemma Chan — we looked at and read all sorts of women for that part. And ended up really believing that Gemma was best for it. And thankfully, she's proven that to be the case in the final movie.”

Madden plays Ikaris, a powerful Eternal who can fly. He also has the power to project energy beams from his eyes. His other strengths include super-strength and teleportation. Together with Ikaris is Sersi, whose relationship Madden describes as “a through-the-ages love story.”

Keoghan plays Druig, an Eternal who can manipulate the minds of others.

Eternals director, writers, producers

Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao dons the cap of the director for Eternals. Talking about the movie, Zhao said, “I would say I pay tribute to many films and filmmakers that had great influence on me in this movie. It becomes fanfare for me. I try to let them inspire me in different parts of the movie because the film is so diverse, visually. I could do a lot of different things.”

Zhao revealed that she along with the visual effects team, the action team, and the design team watched movies including Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life (2011) and The New World (2005), Alejandro González Iñárritu's Revenant (2015), Christopher Nolan's Interstellar (2014), and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) among others.

The story of Eternals was developed and the first draft of the script was written by Ryan Firpo and Matthew K. Firpo. The script was later re-written by Zhao and Patrick Burleigh, who has written screenplays for movies including Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway (2021) and Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018). The final version of the screenplay was written by Zhao herself.

Eternals is produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Marvel executive Nate Moore.

German music composer Ramin Djawadi who composed music for films including Iron Man (2008) and Clash of The Titans (2010) scored the music for the film. Two tracks from Djawadi's score for the movie titled “Eternaks Theme” and “Across Oceans of Time” were shared on the Marvel Music VEVO channel on YouTube.
