RUMOR. LUKE EVANS AND MILLIE BOBBY BROWN IN THE ETERNAL FILM

According to this rumor, actor Luke Evans would be in the running for a part in the Marvel Studios cinefumetto . The actor could end up playing the character of Hercules...

Also, according to these rumors, Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things would already be in the cast of the film as Sprite . The character in question, in the comics, is a boy of male sex but, according to indiscretions, he will be a little girl, instead, in the film adaptation of Marvel Studios

Yes and no.

Thanos is from Titan Eternals and he's also a mutant of sorts, as he has got Deviant DNA in him.

This film, if I understand correctly, will be about Earth Eternals... they're not much connected with Thanos.

Then again, in immortal words of Carver the Ninth... ETERNAL IS ETERNAL durhulk

The Eternals ****in suck. They are a worse version of the Inhumans who are, in turn, basically a worse version of the X-men.

They are nothing like either of those titles. If anything, they're Marvel's version of the New Gods.

ares834
Sure they are. They are yet another mutant offshoot with unique powers. Though, yes, they tend to have different types of stories.

Kazenji
Sounds like they're trying to make Hercules an Eternal...Meh, I'd rather they just stick to the character's that are the actual Eternal's from the comics.

Exploring the Eternals means exploring Thanos' background and his family tree. Maybe we see him in flashbacks. I'm in.

Adam Grimes
The post-credits scene is going to be Thanos coming back to life holding hands with Miss Death.

that won't happen... you'd have to explain so much to kids and many other general audience members who've never read the comics

david196520
They are pretty powerful (as Thanos is a good example of them), about Asgard royal family level, or above.

But they are largely irrelevant to the rest of the universe.

For the most part, they keep to themselves, and completely ignore all the others, and the few who know of their existence, ignore them in turn, because of that.

So yes, they are really powerful, but secluded and apart from Thanos and very few others, they never left Titan, and never bothered about the rest of the universe.

Really curious to see how Marvel Studio is going to spin a story around that, considering they made Thanos the last survivor of Titan (or so he says).

I remember that several webistes were backing him up for Wolverine when the news broke that Disney got Fox.

He isn't a bad option, TBH.

TheVaultDweller
Could be interesting, depending on which role they have him in mind for. Would probably be a very popular inclusion as well. A lot of people like him, and, based on interviews and things at least, he seems to be a nice guy.

-Pr-
If they do make him Wolverine, I wouldn't be surprised if they also announced that they're making a solo Wolverine film before we even get to the X-Team ones.

Darth Thor
I doubt they are announcing Wolverine this early.

Given Theres no X-Men film on the line up for the next 3 years.

From what I heard that part was offered to Ryan Gosling but he turned it down because of scheduling and the multi film commitment. Then he was offered to voice Beta Ray Bill by Taika.
The bad news is that it is a 1 picture deal. Meaning bbr could be a one-and-done character.
This is to be taken with a mountain of salt.

One appearance would be sad. Even if he was a semi-recurring character, that would be something.

Well, many of the Eternals have names and powers that are the same as several Olympic deities - Ikaris/Icarus, Sersi/Circe, Zuras/Zeus, Makkari/Mercury, Thena/Athena and so on. Casual viewers will raise a Spockian eyebrow as to why that is...so, an excuse to guest star Zeus and the rest to show how they came to an agreement. Or however they will spin it in the movie.

Who is going to play Eros/Starfox, I wonder?...

I'm likely wrong, but my guess is that they might draw inspiration from Gaiman's stuff and have them needing to get their memories back, or something. It would explain why they didn't get involved with Infinity War, as they wouldn't have known they weren't just normal humans.

Not all the Eternals line up for the Olympians. There's no Eternal for Hercules, Hephaestus and others.

Still surprised Angelina Jolie isn't playing Sersi. She's the most popular and best known Eternal, but the lesser known Gemma Chan has the role. We might not have all the roles right; Marvel Studios led us to believe Jude Law was playing Mar-Vell, only to fake us out with surprise casting.

True but like I said, I could be wrong. And I would expect Hercules to be separate anyway.

I imagine it was down to being more able to convince Chan to sign a multi-picture deal than it would be Jolie. Cheaper too.

Whether you subscribe to the "MCU has mostly crap villains" opinion or not, their willingness to hire top drawer actors for just one movie is something I honestly don't like.

Such a waste indeed. I like the actor who plays Mordo, but Mads would have done him better. There was no need for a Kaecilius. Just make Mordo an evil prick in league with Dormammu right from the beginning.

Well, that was Jack Kirby's original intention when he created The Eternals. They were once ordinary humans that the Celestials experimented on and turned them into superhumans that ancient peoples thought were gods. It wasn't supposed to be a part of the Marvel Universe proper, but when it did, it kind of ruined Kirby's whole point since the MU already had literal gods in it.

Ikaris has opposed involvement as imaginable to people on the planet.
More likely this is going to develop without the lens of the director in the filming.

Good thing, thus far even the worse of the MCU films are still somewhat enjoyable, so this will probably be that, bottom tier but still somewhat enjoyable.

Was it supposed to bomb? The GOTG at least had more to work with the comedic aspect of a raccoon and a talking tree. Also there was the Drax/Thanos relationship they touched upon.

The Eternals? This just looks bad right now. It could surprise and be good, but lets be honest, its a group of characters that even comic buffs dont care about and the trailer hasent changed that.

Anyway, the reason why it might be good is BECAUSE these are no-name characters. Also, it's a teaser trailer, it pretty much barely showed what the movie could be about and shows no lines from characters.

Also, Kit Harington is always a win.

Meh teaser trailer.

Don't know much about the Eternals so no investment in the characters and no expectation on my end other than to be entertained.

So, the proverbial "wait and see" approach.

You've no clue what you are talking about. I've seen so many people say this, but GotG, while not super popular, had a sizable and dedicated fanbase. Just as importantly, it had a run which is very well regarded. Abbnet and Lanning's stuff is routinely considered some of the best Marvel cosmic stories ever.

I'm not saying they weren't GOOD, I'm just saying they weren't popular, some of the characters in Eternals have a dedicated and loyal fanbase as well, let-alone the Eternals as a whole.

It's not right to shit all over Eternals like they're complete shit compared to GoTG which everyone now loves, in both mainstream and comic-wise. GoTG was and is more well-known then the Eternals, but this is a teaser trailer and teaser trailers sometimes barely even show movie footage, this is unlikely to reflect the final product.

For you they might be complete shit, Seems like the actual character's and book have more of a cult following.

Has anybody read the original Eternals series? That book sucked. I havent read anything by them after that because the hatred was already set. Again, hopefully the movie kicks ass, but I think its going to be an uphill battle.

The moviemakers are coming with serious cred now, thanks to Chloe Zhou's multiple Oscar wins for Nomadland. So there's reason for optimism; Marvel Studios hasn't stepped wrong with a single project yet (of all their films, only The Incredible Hulk mildly disappointed at the box office.)

Producers at Marvel have learned and stuck to their guns the past couple of decades, over giving an auteur director too much control (ie. Ang Lee's Hulk.) We'll see if Zhou managed to serve her vision and the studios' vision in equal amounts.

This will be the MCU's most 'out there' project since Guardians Of The Galaxy. And it's hard to believe there was a time when everyone was wondering why they were doing that project - barely known characters in a comic series that came and went often. But we know there's a larger purpose to everything Marvel Studios does, in filling out all these corners of their universe.

I was heavily skeptical about Ant-Man, but they did it because the Quantum Realm was going to become hugely significant down the road. Eternals is going to be part of a larger set up, I'm sure.

I would be anxious to see what you thought of it.

That's why Neil Gaiman "restarted" them, I guess.

Eternals and Titans (which technically are Eternals, too) have some interesting ideas about them (such as the Resurrection Chamber, which got shamelessly copied by Hickman for his Krakoa Era of X-Men).

Also, no doubt. The Eric Von Danikken, God was a spaceman Celestial shit, really only worked in the Thor Ragnarok 300 arc. That is such an underrated run.

The first teaser was just supposed to evoke wonder. I suspect we will get two more trailers before the film is released; one with Shng Chi, and the other a month before release. I bet the next one will show more actions and tease the Deviants, while the last one will show the Celestial host in their glory (I suspect there are approaching in that dark cloud in the teaser.)

Many other rumours of cameos in this, and I hope they are all true.

- That a younger Thanos appears as part of a visit, along with his father, mother and brother (who could be played by Harry Styles.)

- That we get our first glimpse at the Olympians (Russell Crowe is already set to appear as Zeus in Thor: Love And Thunder.)

- That the Atlanteans will appear, and we will get clues as to where Namor and his kin have been all this time.

Whirly is in this thread just because of Angie playing Thena, I'm sure vin
