All five Eternals fans in the market may be quite disillusioned with Kevin Feige’s remarks about the upcoming sequel.
While some may argue Eternals has the potential to resonate with audiences, its forgettable nature within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) seems plausible given its underwhelming impact on viewers. Despite being unable to pinpoint a single flaw, I couldn’t help but notice that this unconventional Marvel Studios film, which opted for extensive location shooting, ultimately appeared dull and uninspired throughout. The intended endeavor to revitalize another obscure Marvel franchise, akin to the Guardians of the Galaxy phenomenon, ultimately fell short due to the lack of a captivating narrative. Despite underwhelming performance, the film’s release in 2021, amidst ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, contributed to its modest $402 million box office haul on a $236 million budget – hardly a resounding success.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently discussed potential sequels with Inverse, leaving fans to wonder if they can actually expect any. According to Kevin Feige in an interview with Inverse, there are currently no expedited plans for the production of Eternals 2. “We’ve actually acknowledged several instances of this nature in a recent trailer, which may have caught your attention.” “Significant problems emerged from the depths of the ocean.”
What Feige is referencing here is a moment within the first trailer for Captain America: New World, showcasing Anthony Mackie’s Captain America soaring across the vast, post-apocalyptic wasteland left behind after the events of Eternals; a development that has puzzled several Marvel fans since its occurrence went unacknowledged in any movie or TV show.
Interestingly, Eternals’ post-credits scene hints at unexplored storylines, specifically setting the stage for Dane Whitman’s transformation into the Black Knight, while also introducing Mahershala Ali as Blade – a character plagued by production issues, including the recent departure of his director. The film’s unexpected move was to integrate Harry Styles into the Marvel Cinematic Universe by casting him as Eros, the long-lost brother of the formidable villainous figure, Thanos. Secure in their resolve, the Eternals will undoubtedly leave a lasting legacy.
