In April 2018, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced that a film
based on the Eternals had begun development, with Ryan and Kaz Firpo hired to
write the script in May. Zhao was set to direct the film by late September, and
was given significant creative freedom with the film, which resulted in filming
on location more than previous MCU films. Zhao rewrote the screenplay, which
Burleigh was later reported to have also contributed to. Principal photography
took place from July 2019 to February 2020, at Pinewood Studios as well as on
location in London and Oxford, England, and in the Canary Islands.
Eternals premiered in Los Angeles on October 18, 2021, and was released in the
United States on November 5, as part of Phase Four of the MCU. The film has
grossed $402 million worldwide, becoming the tenth-highest-grossing film of
2021. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its themes and
visuals, but criticized its screenplay, pacing, runtime, and character
development.
Plot
In 5000 BC, ten superpowered Eternals—Ajak, Sersi, Ikaris, Kingo, Sprite,

Phastos, Makkari, Druig, Gilgamesh, and Thena—are sent by the Celestial
Arishem to Earth on their starship, the Domo, to exterminate the invasive
Deviants. The last Deviants are apparently killed in 1521, when the group's
opinions differ over their continued responsibilities and relationship with
humankind. Over the next five hundred years they mostly live apart, waiting for
Arishem to tell them that they can leave.
In the present day, Sersi and Sprite live together in London. After Sersi's partner
Ikaris left her centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human Dane
Whitman who works at the Natural History Museum. The trio are attacked by
the Deviant Kro, with Ikaris arriving and chasing the creature away. Concerned
that the Deviants have returned, the three Eternals travel to South Dakota to
reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously
chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with
Arishem.
Sersi contacts Arishem and learns that the mission of the Eternals was not to
fight the Deviants but to prepare Earth for the "Emergence". Arishem explains
that, for millions of years, he has been planting the seeds of Celestials inside
planets where the energy from large populations allow the Celestials to be
born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the apex predators of each planet to
ensure the development of intelligent life, but when the Deviants evolved and
began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to
hunt them in turn. With the reversal of the Blip,[N 2] Earth has reached the
necessary population for the birth of the Celestial Tiamut, which will result in
Earth's destruction.
Hoping to delay the Emergence, the group reunites with the other Eternals. At
Druig's residence in the Amazon rainforest, they are attacked by the Deviants
and kill all of them except Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos
proposes the Uni-Mind, a connection between all the Eternals that would give
Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his mind-control powers.
However, Ikaris reveals that Ajak told him of the Emergence centuries before.
When Ajak suggested to him six days earlier that they try to stop the
Emergence, he led her to the Deviants and, not wanting to betray Arishem, let
them kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo
chooses to leave, as he does not wish to stop Tiamut's birth or fight his
teammates.
Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an active volcano in the Indian
Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite
and Phastos restrains Ikaris while Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is
unable to put Tiamut to sleep and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into
marble. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but finds
himself unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others
in the Uni-Mind and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into marble. Guilt-
ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. At Sprite's request, Sersi uses the remaining
energy from the Uni-Mind to turn Sprite into a human, ending her permanent
childlike state. Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the Domo to find Eternals
on other planets and warn them of the Emergences while Sersi, Phastos, and
Kingo remain on Earth.
Dane professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his
family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are dragged into space by
Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if
the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. Vowing to return
for judgment, he takes the trio with him into a singularity. In a mid-credits
scene, Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal Eros, Thanos's brother, and
his assistant Pip the Troll who offer their help. In a post-credits scene, Dane
opens a case containing the Ebony Blade and an unseen person[N 3] questions
whether he is ready for it.
Cast

The cast of Eternals at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con (L to R): Madden, Nanjiani, Ridloff, Henry,
Hayek, McHugh, Lee, and Jolie
Gemma Chan as Sersi:
An empathetic Eternal with a strong connection to humans and the Earth, who
can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Sersi has been
in love with Ikaris for centuries and has a strong connection with Sprite. In the
present day, she is a museum curator on Earth and dating Dane Whitman.[8][9]
Producer Kevin Feige described Sersi as the lead of the film.[10] Director Chloé
Zhao said she and Chan were interested in creating "a nuanced female
superhero that is rarely seen in this genre". Zhao added that Chan "brought a
beautiful sense of gentleness, compassion and vulnerability" to the character
that would "invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic".[8] Chan called
Sersi "grounded... [and] a little bit of a free spirit".[11] Chan previously portrayed
Minn-Erva in the MCU film Captain Marvel (2019).[12]
Richard Madden as Ikaris:
An Eternal who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes, and is
determined to fulfill his purpose.[11] Speaking to the relationship between Ikaris
and Sersi, Madden said that they have "a deep level of romance",[11] and "are
two opposing sides of how they connect with the world", since Sersi has
compassion for humans while Ikaris is more disconnected given the Eternals'
long life span.[9] Madden worked to find a way to portray Ikaris in a way that he
would not come across as "bored of everything".[11] Zhao's take on Ikaris was
influenced by director Zack Snyder's interpretation of Superman in Man of Steel
(2013), which "left a strong impression" on her for its "authentic and very real"
approach.[13]
Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo:
An Eternal who can project cosmic energy projectiles from his hands.
Enamored with fame, Kingo becomes a popular Bollywood film star to blend in
on Earth.[9][14] Nanjiani wanted his performance to combine the wisecracking
attitude of John McClane from the Die Hard film series with the look of
Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.[15] He studied Errol Flynn films and some of
the original Zorro films to prepare for the role. Nanjiani, who is not a dancer,
found learning the Bollywood dances challenging.[11]
Lia McHugh as Sprite:
An Eternal who can project life-like illusions. Sprite has the physical appearance
of a 12-year-old child, with McHugh calling her an "old soul" dissatisfied with
humanity.[9] Described as "the Tinker Bell to [Ikaris's] Peter Pan", McHugh was
primarily inspired by Neil Gaiman's 2006 run on the character.[16]
Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos: An Eternal and an intelligent weapons and

technology inventor.[11] He is the first superhero to be depicted as gay in an
MCU film.[17]
Lauren Ridloff as Makkari:
An Eternal who can move at superhuman speed. The character is the first deaf
superhero in the MCU.[11] After starting to run more in anticipation of the role,
she shifted to muscle building in order to have "the symmetry of somebody
who looks like a sprinter".[11]
Barry Keoghan as Druig: An aloof Eternal who becomes frustrated with the
inaction of the other Eternals in human affairs. He can manipulate the minds of
others.[11]
Don Lee as Gilgamesh:
The strongest Eternal, with a deep connection to Thena.[11] Lee pursued the role
in order to be an inspiration to the younger generation as the first Korean
superhero, and was able to utilize his boxing training for the role.[9]
Harish Patel as Karun: Kingo's human valet.[18]
Kit Harington as Dane Whitman: A human who works at the Natural History
Museum in London as a history professor and is dating Sersi.[9][19]
Salma Hayek as Ajak:
The wise and spiritual leader of the Eternals, who has the ability to heal and is
the "bridge" between the Eternals and the Celestials.[11] Changing the character
from a man in the comics allowed Hayek to lean into Ajak's femininity and
make her the "mother figure" of the Eternals.[11] Hayek was initially hesitant to
work with Marvel, assuming she would have a supporting or "grandmother"
role.[9]
Angelina Jolie as Thena:
An elite warrior Eternal who can form any weapon out of cosmic energy and
develops a close bond with Gilgamesh over the centuries.[9][11] She also suffers
from a psychological condition called Mahd Wy'ry.[20] Jolie trained with various
swords, spears, and staffs for the role, as well as taking ballet.[9]
Additionally, the Deviant Kro is voiced by Bill Skarsgård,[21] while David Kaye
voices the Celestial Arishem.[22] Haaz Sleiman and Esai Daniel Cross portray
Ben and Jack, Phastos' husband and son, respectively;[23] and Zain Al Rafeea
portrays a villager who comes across the Eternals upon their arrival on Earth.[24]
Harry Styles appears in the film's mid-credits scene as Eros / Starfox, the
brother of Thanos, while Patton Oswalt voices his assistant Pip the Troll.[25]
Mahershala Ali has an uncredited voice cameo appearance as Blade in the
post-credits scene, ahead of starring in his own film.[7]
Production
Development
Director Chloé Zhao promoting Eternals at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in April 2018 that the studio was
actively developing a film based on the Marvel Comics series Eternals, created
by Jack Kirby, to be released as part of their Phase Four slate of films. Marvel
Studios had met with multiple screenwriters, and was believed to be focusing
on the character Sersi in the film.[26] Marvel set Ryan and Kaz Firpo to write the
script a month later,[27] with their outline including a love story between the
characters Sersi and Ikaris.[28] In June, Feige said Marvel was interested in
exploring the "ancient aliens kind of sci-fi trope" by having the Eternals be the
inspiration for myths and legends throughout the history of the Marvel
Cinematic Universe (MCU).[29]
During late August, Marvel's director search for Eternals narrowed to a shortlist
that included Chloé Zhao—who had also been in the running to direct Marvel's
Black Widow (2021)—Nicole Kassell, Travis Knight, and the pair of Cristina
Gallego and Ciro Guerra.[28] Zhao approached Marvel Studios about making the
film as she had been a fan of the MCU. She wanted to work with the studio to
bring her own take and world-building to the franchise,[30] and impressed them
with a presentation that Feige described as fascinating, with "reams of
visuals".[31] Zhao worked with producer Nate Moore to develop her pitch.[32] The
presentation left Marvel concerned that she might take on a different big-studio
project instead of Eternals, forcing them to move quickly to secure her, and
Zhao was hired as director in September.[28][33] Zhao hoped to push the scope
of the film further than Marvel's Avengers: Endgame (2019),[31] but also wanted
it to have intimacy.[34] Zhao described the film as a melting pot of influences,
from Kirby's original work, Neil Gaiman's 2006 run, previous MCU projects,
Zhao's fandom of the MCU, and her love of science fiction and fantasy films
and manga.[32] Speaking specifically to her love of manga, she hoped those
influences would create a "marriage of East and West".[31] Zhao cited the TV
series Ancient Aliens, the Final Fantasy video game series, the concepts from
Yuval Noah Harari's book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, and the films of
Terrence Malick as her inspirations for the film.[35]
Marvel considered Eternals to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films
along with projects such as Captain Marvel (2019),[33] allowing the studio to
cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals.[28] Moore's initial
planning documents for the project including the swapping of genders,
sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters from the comic books, with
Zhao further advocating for this approach.[10] In February 2019, Feige reiterated
that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning
story,[36] with the film version spanning 7,000 years and exploring humanity's
place in the cosmos.[32] Zhao noted that the Eternals "have lived among us for
so long, [they have] the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal
freedom versus greater good — all the duality and flaws that make us human".
When trying to develop a story that spanned so many years, Marvel realized
that the characters would likely be a family unit, with friendship that would "turn
into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship".
Zhao also looked to the Earth as an eleventh character in the film, chronicling
its journey alongside the Eternal characters.[9] Marvel also wanted to create
more ensemble films that were not crossover films, like Guardians of the Galaxy
(2014), while introducing relatively unknown characters to audiences as they
did with that film's title characters and the Avengers.[36]
Pre-production
Angelina Jolie joined the cast in March 2019, reportedly as "I wanted it to reflect the world

announced The Eternals with a release date of November 6,
—Zhao on the diverse cast of
2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as Thena, the film[31]
Nanjiani as Kingo, Lee as Gilgamesh, Madden as Ikaris, and
Hayek as Ajak, along with Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian
Tyree Henry as Phastos, and Lia McHugh as Sprite.[45] Zhao looked for actors
for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character".[9] Feige
added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character,[46] with
actor Haaz Sleiman later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film.
Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film.
Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family
can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous
media.[17] Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story"
and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film,[31] while Sleiman said it was
a "thoughtful" depiction.[47]
Eternals is set around eight months after the events of Avengers: Endgame,[48]
and addresses why the Eternals did not interfere in any past conflicts in the
MCU. Both Feige and Moore said the film would have "major ripple effects" on
the future of the MCU, and at times, it was "a challenge" to balance the
grounded nature of the MCU with the "mythic grandeur" of the Eternals
property.[9]
Filming
By the film's official announcement in July 2019, principal photography had

begun at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England.[49][50] Ben Davis
served as director of photography, after doing so on several previous MCU
films.[10][51] Zhao said Marvel Studios allowed her creative freedom to shoot the
film on location, "exactly the way [she] wanted to shoot" it. She was able to use
a similar style to her previous films, including 360° shots and working with the
same camera and rigs as was used for her film Nomadland (2020),[31] which
Zhao was set to complete back-to-back with The Eternals.[32] Zhao felt that she
"got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different."[31]
Zhao cited The Revenant (2015) as a primary influence when composing the
film's action sequences.[52]
Gemma Chan and Barry Keoghan were in talks to join the cast in August
2019.[12][53] Chan previously portrayed Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel, but reports
noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate
character in this film.[12] Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it
was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was
told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future
project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be
considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for
the film to cast.[54] Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at
the D23 Expo in August, in the roles of Sersi and Druig, respectively, along with
Kit Harington as Dane Whitman.[55] Chan said she and Marvel Studios were
surprised by how soon after Captain Marvel her new MCU role came, with both
assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.[54] Harish Patel
was cast at the end of August as Karun, Kingo's manager,[56][57] and filmed his
role from September 2019 until January 2020.[56]
By early November, filming took place in the Canary Islands. The filming cast
and crew, including Jolie and Madden, had to be evacuated from a shooting
location on the island of Fuerteventura when an explosive device was found
there. The device was thought to be a remnant armament from a Nazi base.[58]
Later that month, Zain Al Rafeea joined the cast.[24][59] In early January 2020,
filming took place outside the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in
Oxford, England,[60] as well as Hampstead Heath and in Camden in
London,[61][62] under the working title Sack Lunch.[62][63] Chan said the filming
process felt very different from what she experienced on Captain Marvel,
explaining that Eternals shot more on location and utilized natural light while
Captain Marvel had more studio work and bluescreen.[54] Filming wrapped on
February 4, 2020.[64]
Post-production
In March 2020, Scanline VFX, one of the companies working on the film's visual
effects, confirmed that they would be working remotely due to the COVID-19
pandemic.[65] In early April, Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of
films due to the pandemic, moving The Eternals' release date to February 12,
2021.[66] In August, the film's title was officially shortened from The Eternals to
Eternals,[67] and the next month, the release date was pushed back to
November 5, 2021.[68] Reshoots had taken place by mid-November 2020.[69]
In January 2021, Zhao revealed that she was also a writer on the film,[34] with
Patrick Burleigh soon revealed to have worked on the script as well.[70]
Additional filming occurred in Los Angeles in early February, also under the
working title Sack Lunch.[71] Dylan Tichenor and Craig Wood serve as co-editors
of the film.[32] Tichenor said Zhao usually edits her own films and has "strong
opinions", but on Eternals she was relying on Tichenor and Wood due to the size
of the production and the ongoing awards season for Nomadland. Tichenor
added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and
they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began
adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback, and were still working on the
editing in April 2021.[72] At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film
was in its "final stretch",[32] and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the
film, after previously starring in Zhao's film Songs My Brothers Taught Me
(2015).[73]
At the end of May 2021, with the release of the first teaser trailer and poster for
the film, the official writing credits were revealed: Zhao was credited as the
screenwriter, both as a solo contributor and as part of a writing team with
Burleigh, while Ryan and Kaz Firpo received story credit.[1][74] Additionally, Gil
Birmingham was revealed to have been cast in the film,[75] although he was
absent in the final film. In July 2021, Writers Guild of America West presented
the film's final writing credits, awarding Ryan and Kaz Firpo screenplay credit
along with Zhao and the team of Zhao and Burleigh, in addition to their story
credit.[2] Moore believed the studio had "bit off as much as we could chew" with
the film, creating one that "felt urgent and present and had [a fast] pace, but
also took time to reflect back over the centuries".[9]
At the film's world premiere, Matt Donnelly of Variety tweeted that Harry Styles
made an appearance in a post-credits scene as Eros, Thanos' brother in the
comics, which was not shown in early press screenings of the film.[76] Zhao
later revealed that she "kept tabs on [Styles]" since his appearance in Dunkirk
(2017), believing that he "makes me think of Eros as a character".[77]
Music
Ramin Djawadi composed the score for the film, after previously doing so for
Marvel's Iron Man (2008).[78] Two songs from the film's soundtrack, "Across the
Oceans of Time" and "Eternals Theme", were released as singles on October 22,
2021, while the full album was released on November 3.[79][80]
Marketing
Select costumes from the film on display as part of the Futures exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution
The first footage of the film was released in May 2021 as part of a promotional
video from Marvel Studios celebrating their films and a return to movie
theaters.[81][82] Though the footage was limited and "vague", Hoai-Tran Bui at
/Film still felt it was "very exciting".[83] Chaim Gartenberg of The Verge felt one
of the biggest moments of the footage was seeing Jolie wielding a sword made
of light. He was also encouraged that Eternals appeared to be one of Marvel's
first films to "deliver on [their] years-long promise of creating films with more
diverse casts".[81] Nerdist's Michael Arbeiter said the footage was quick, but felt
that it "manages an air of wonderment".[82]
The first teaser for the film was released on May 24, 2021. Gartenberg felt the
teaser was light on plot elements, with it instead focusing on the "civilization-
spanning scope of the superhero team and its members throughout human
history". He also believed the film was "a big swing" from Marvel Studios to
entice audiences with a lesser-known comics property, but believed that it
would succeed due to its diverse cast of well-known actors and Zhao's status
as "one of the most exciting directors around".[84] io9's Charlies Pulliam-Moore
felt the trailer was a "multiple millennia-spanning recap of Earth's history", and
said it was unclear how much the larger MCU would impact on the film outside
of a brief reference to the Avengers at the end of the trailer.[85] Writing for
Entertainment Weekly, Nick Romano felt the teaser was a combination of
"thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments" and some jokes.[86] Erik Adams of
The A.V. Club felt the spot teased some fresh angles for the MCU in a similar
way to Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), and he
enjoyed the images of Kingo's Bollywood dance, Sprite performing karaoke, and
the end scene of the Eternals eating together and joking about the Avengers.[87]
After seeing the teaser, Variety's Adam B. Vary described the film as
"unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were
featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film.[1]
Adele Ankers of IGN discussed the poster that was released at the same time
as the trailer, highlighting how the Eternals appear in silhouette against a sunlit
background which she described as "another taste of Chloé Zhao's signature
filming style and the use of natural light to illuminate a frame" that would be
seen in the film.[88] Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one
trending video on YouTube and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24
hours.[89] Disney's president of marketing Asad Ayaz said the teaser was
designed to just be an introduction to the characters and tone and not give
much of the film away, adding the marketing team would be "very judicious" on
when more material would be revealed, while also using the releases of Black
Widow and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings before Eternals to help
expose audiences to the characters.[90]
The final trailer was released in August 2021, with Ethan Shanfeld and Manori
Ravindran of Variety feeling it was "more serious in tone" than the teaser with
the Eternals "grappling with the prospect of emerging after centuries living
apart in order to help humans".[91] Entertainment Weekly's Devan Coggan felt
that the trailer was the "best glimpse yet" of the film and gave a "sense of the
vast scale and scope of the film", while answering "one important question"
about the absence of the Eternals during the conflict against Thanos in
Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.[92] Aaron Couch at The
Hollywood Reporter said the trailer "reveals much of [the film's] plot as well as
its characters' powers, teasing the answers to key questions about who the
Eternals answer to, their relationship to Earth and why they ultimately didn't
intervene" in the conflict against Thanos.[93]
In October 2021, Lexus released a commercial promoting the film and its Lexus
IS 500 sports sedan starring Nanjiani as Kingo, with frequent MCU directors
Joe and Anthony Russo guiding its development and Framestore working on
the visual effects.[94] Lexus created ten concept cars based on the ten Eternals
characters from the film.[95] The IS 500 and Lexus NX are featured in the
film.[94] Beginning on November 20, 2021, select costumes from the film were
part of the Futures exhibit at the Smithsonian Institution's Arts and Industries
Building, which will run through July 2022. Behind-the-scenes content looking
at the evolution of the film's visuals as well as an augmented reality experience
were also included in the exhibit.[96]
Release
Theatrical
Eternals had its world premiere at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on October
18, 2021,[97] and was screened at the Rome Film Festival on October 24.[98] The
film was released theatrically in many European countries on November 3, and
in the United States and the United Kingdom on November 5 in RealD 3D and
4DX.[98] In September 2021, Disney announced that the film would have an
exclusive theatrical release for a minimum of 45 days.[99] Eternals was
previously set for release on November 6, 2020,[100] before it was shifted to
February 12, 2021,[66] and then to the November 2021 date, due to the COVID-
19 pandemic.[68] It is part of Phase Four of the MCU.[101]
Censorship
In May 2021, a Chinese state media report excluded Eternals, as well as Shang-
Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, from its list of upcoming MCU films
releasing, which Variety noted "added to rumors" that the films would not be
released in China, especially since Zhao had become "an unexpected persona
non grata" in the country after she was scrutinized by Chinese netizens over her
remarks in a 2013 interview with Filmmaker magazine in which she described
China as "a place where there are lies everywhere".[102][103][104] By September
2021, Deadline Hollywood reported it remained "an open question" if the
Chinese government or Zhao would attempt to "rehabilitate" the situation, but it
"seems likely" the film would not be released in China following the country's
response to Nomadland as well as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
likely not being released in the country either following backlash to comments
made by star Simu Liu in 2017.[105]
The film was not released in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman due
to the depiction of a gay couple. Theaters in the United Arab Emirates, Jordan,
Lebanon and Egypt were set to show an edited version of the film which is
missing all the love scenes.[106] Angelina Jolie criticized the countries' decision
to ban the film, saying: "I'm sad for [those audiences]. And I'm proud of Marvel
for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don't understand how we live in a
world today where there's still [people who] would not see the family Phastos
has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry
about it, threatened by it, doesn't approve or appreciate it is ignorant."[107]
Lebanese actor Haaz Sleiman, who played Phastos' husband Ben in the film,
also voiced the same reaction towards the matter: "They stood their ground and
said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film.' It made
these Arab countries looks so ignorant and pathetic. I have no respect for those
governments. They have displayed to the world that they are not only a disgrace
to humanity, but to God. Hopefully this will inspire the Saudi people, the Kuwaiti
people and the people in Qatar to fight back."[108] Marvel later agreed to cut any
kind of love scenes, including the gay couple kiss for the film's release in
Indonesia, which received praise by the Indonesian Film Censorship Board
(LSF).[109]
Home media
Eternals began streaming on Disney+ on January 12, 2022, with the option to
view the theatrical version of the film or an IMAX Enhanced version.[110] Audio
commentary and additional bonus features for the film will be added to Disney+
in March 2022.[111] It will be released on Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on
February 15. The home media includes audio commentary, deleted scenes, a
gag reel, and various behind-the-scenes featurettes.[112]
Reception
Box office
As of February 1, 2022, Eternals has grossed $164.9 million in the United States

and Canada, and $237.2 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of
$402.1 million.[5][6] The film's opening weekend earned $162 million globally,
which was the second-largest worldwide opening weekend in the COVID-19
pandemic for a Hollywood film, of which IMAX contributed to over $13.6
million.[113]
Pre-sale tickets and projections
Advanced ticket sales for Eternals were estimated to be $2.6 million in its first
24 hours, outpacing those for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings ($1.4
million) and Black Widow ($2 million) during the same time frame, while AMC
Theatres had the largest first day sales of 2021 for the film.[114] In November,
Fandango reported that pre-sales for Eternals were second-largest of 2021,
behind Black Widow.[115] In October, Boxoffice Pro initially projected that the film
would earn $82–102 million within its opening weekend, and around $210–280
million in total domestic box office.[116] At the end of the month, Boxoffice Pro
modified their projections to $67–92 million for the film's opening weekend, and
around $165–215 million in total domestic box office, due to mixed early critical
reception.[117] According to Deadline Hollywood, Eternals was expected to earn
$75 million within its domestic opening weekend, and around $150 million
globally.[118]
Performance
In the United States and Canada, Eternals earned $30.7 million in its opening
day, which included $9.5 million from Thursday night previews, marking the
third-largest opening day of the pandemic, behind Black Widow and Venom: Let
There Be Carnage. Its opening weekend earned $71.3 million from 5.5 million
theater admissions, making it the top film of the weekend.[119] IMAX accounted
for over $7.6 million of the weekend. This marked the fourth-largest opening
weekend of the pandemic. The domestic opening weekend gross was lower
than various pre-release projections. Deadline attributed this to the film's overall
mixed reception from critics and audiences.[113] In its second weekend, Eternals
remained the top film, grossing over $27.5 million.[120] In its third weekend, the
film earned $10.8 million, finishing second behind Ghostbusters: Afterlife.[121] In
its fourth weekend, Eternals was fourth, with $11.5 million earned over the five-
day Thanksgiving weekend.[122][123] Eternals is currently the sixth-highest-
grossing film of 2021 in the United States.[124]
Outside of North America, Eternals earned over $90.7 million within its opening
weekend from 46 markets. It was number-one in nearly all of these markets.
The international opening weekend gross had exceeded various pre-release
projections. IMAX contributed to $6 million of the opening gross, from 58
countries. The film scored the largest opening of the pandemic in Italy, Brazil,
and Hong Kong. In South Korea, Eternals earned $14.4 million, marking the
largest debut for a Hollywood film amid the pandemic.[125] In Russia, the film
earned an opening of $5.4 million through six days. In its second weekend,
Eternals earned $48 million from 49 markets, a drop of 49%. It remained
number one in many of these territories.[126] The following weekend, the film
earned $22.7 million. It was the top film of the weekend internationally,
remaining the top film in many territories, including all markets across Latin
America, except for Mexico.[127] In the film's fourth weekend, Eternals
accumulated $10.2 million, while surpassing No Time to Die to become the
highest-grossing film of the pandemic in Italy. As of November 28, 2021, the
film's largest markets are South Korea ($26.4 million), the United Kingdom
($18.7 million), France ($14.9 million), Mexico ($14.3 million), and Brazil ($11.1
million).[128]
Critical response
The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an approval rating of 48%

based on 380 reviews, with an average rating of 5.6/10. The website's critical
consensus reads, "An ambitious superhero epic that soars as often as it strains,
Eternals takes the MCU in intriguing—and occasionally confounding—new
directions."[129] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 52 out
of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[130] It is the
lowest-rated MCU film on both websites and the first installment to be
classified as "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes.[131] Audiences polled by
CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, the
lowest grade for an MCU film, and PostTrak reported 78% of audience
members gave it a positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely
recommend it.[113]
Charlotte O'Sullivan of the Evening Standard gave the film four out of five stars,
describing it as "lavish", "ambitious", and "more divisive". She praised the fight
sequences as "astounding, beautifully paced and crammed with detail", and the
cast as "fabulous" but felt Chan was a "bit wooden".[132] Robert Abele of
TheWrap praised the film's cinematography and felt that "there's an earnestness
to the operatic stakes in Eternals that somehow helps fuse what's physically
spectacular and philosophical about it".[133] Oliver Jones of the Observer stated
that the film was "full of wonder and romance and fueled by an agenda and
audacity all its own", and felt that "one of the most impressive aspects of the
Eternals is how the culturally representative team's identities play into the
theme and story in powerful and essential ways".[134] Owen Gleiberman of
Variety was disappointed over Zhao's missing filmmaking style that shaped her
films The Rider (2017) and Nomadland (2020) to "embrace the straight-up
expository conventionality of Marvel filmmaking", but he felt that the film was a
"squarely fun and gratifying watch" despite its long run-time, and a "very
standard" superhero film. He found the Eternals a "winning prototype of a more
dynamically inclusive superhero world".[135] Moira Macdonald of The Seattle
Times gave the film three out of four stars, feeling that it "has its flaws; in a
nutshell, it's too long... it's got some pretty slow spots midfilm and it's
desperately in need of a bit more wit", but adding that "what it does have is a
palpable, artful mood; this is a movie full of superheroes who spend time
thinking and feeling, and of special effects that aren't just zippy but often
delicately elegant". She described Eternals as "a different kind of superhero
movie; not to everyone's taste, but made for us all".[136]
Three critics gave the film three out of five stars: Linda Marric of The Jewish
Chronicle described it as "a mishmash of well-meaning, yet jarringly verbose
and bafflingly incoherent nonsense which is only just about saved by some half
decent performances";[137] Nicholas Barber of BBC Culture felt that Zhao's
direction of the film "would have been reasonable to expect it to prompt slack-
jawed wonder rather than the grudging appreciation of an efficient,
workmanlike job";[138] and Clarisse Loughrey of The Independent said that it
"strives for the same expansive soulfulness" as Nomadland "but discovers
there's room enough only for the occasional burst of it".[139] Brian Truitt of USA
Today gave the film 2.5/4 stars; he felt that "Eternals looks unlike any other
Marvel movie and is perhaps the most welcoming for MCU neophytes in
forever" due to the utilization of Zhao's "penchant for naturalistic environments",
but wrote that the narrative "struggles to juggle its many subplots and tries to
do too much in its hefty two hours and 37 minutes".[140] Mark Kennedy of the
Associated Press gave the film a similar rating, criticizing its dialogue and fight
scenes, but praising its visual effects and Nanjiani's performance that he felt
would have "a lot of superheroes standing around in cool suits squinting a lot"
without him.[141] Shirley Li of The Atlantic criticized the film's use of exposition
but felt that "Zhao's delicate examination of her characters outshines Eternals'
duller and more convoluted moments".[142]
Three critics gave the film two out of five stars: Robbie Collin of The Daily
Telegraph felt that it was "constantly engaged in a kind of grit-toothed
authenticity theatre, going out of its way to show you it's doing all the things
proper cinema does, even though none of them bring any discernible benefit
whatsoever to the film at hand";[143] Kevin Maher of The Times felt that it had "a
strange self-sabotaging energy at the heart of this landmark blockbuster";[144]
and Steve Rose of The Guardian felt that it was "not exactly boring—there's
always something new to behold—but nor it is particularly exciting, and it lacks
the breezy wit of Marvel's best movies", adding that it was "like coming into
Avengers: Endgame cold without having seen any of the preceding
installments".[145] K. Austin Collins of Rolling Stone felt that the film was "good
at telling us where to look, at impressing us with its manufactured sense of
grandeur", but lacked "any credible sense of what's actually worth seeing".[146]
Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times compared the film to The Tree of Life
(2011) and The Old Guard (2020), feeling a "depressing realization that you've
just seen one of the more interesting movies Marvel will ever make, and
hopefully the least interesting one Chloé Zhao will ever make".[147] Brian Lowry
of CNN felt that "[w]hether this millennia-spanning tale of immortals hiding in
plain sight on Earth can repeat history will serve as a referendum on the
studio's muscle, especially because the movie's structural flaws offset its
stunning visuals and strong performances".[148] Kyle Smith of National Review
was harsher, describing it as "one of the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite, and
least human" of the MCU films.[149]
The mixed reception surprised some commentators, given the MCU's positive
track record and the acclaim of Zhao's previous work. Richard Newby of The
Hollywood Reporter wrote that "much of the criticism of Kirby's work", which
was divisive for its subject matter and relationship to the wider Marvel
Universe, "has followed Zhao in her adaptation." He compared the divisive
response to that of Zack Snyder's DC Extended Universe films Man of Steel and
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), writing that they and Eternals
share "a deconstructive approach to superheroes and force them to question
their purpose in the world, through meditative and melancholy narrative beats,
and a tragic yet hopeful ending." This approach, he felt, subverted critics and
audiences' expectations, which made them review the film more harshly.[150]
