Kevin Feige Says The Eternals Will be "Immense, Amazing" and "Epic"

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is very much unknown right now. We don't know much about what the world is going to look like once the credits ofAvengers: Endgame roll. We do know that there is another Spider-Man movie on the way and that there are some other things in early development. Aside from that? It's a big question mark and it's an interesting place to be. For years now we've known exactly what Marvel movies are coming out and when.

One of those early development movies is The Eternals. It's a series of characters a lot of people have never heard of but that has worked for Marvel in the past. Kevin Feige spoke to Collider about we can expect from The Eternals.

"Everything after Endgame, and after Spider-Man: Far From Home, will be different and be unique, as we try to make every film. But seeing returning characters is certainly something we're gonna do and want to do. But also introducing characters that the majority of the world has never heard of, much like Guardians, much like Avengers before we made Avengers. And there are lots of them. Eternals are one group, but we like the idea of introducing an ensemble, doing an ensemble movie from the start, as opposed to building up as we did with the first Avengers. More like Guardians, not tonally, but in terms of introducing a new group of people. You were asking about '60s, and '70s before. Jack Kirby did an immense, amazing epic with Eternals that spans tens of thousands of years, and that's also something we haven't really done, which is why that among many other things post-Endgame, we find appealing."

We'll have to see how this all turns out in the end, but it's good that Feige and Marvel seem committed to shaking things up. That is what got them where they are today, taking risks on characters no one has heard of and revamping how people view movies, and it would be very easy to get lazy after ten years of success. It very much sounds like they are going to keep trying new and different things.
