All five of you Eternals fans out there might be quite disappointed to hear what Kevin Feige has to say about a sequel.
This might be a touch mean, but I think it’s possible that Eternals is one of the most forgettable films in the MCU’s catalogue. I couldn’t tell you a single thing that happened in that film, and despite the fact it was a rare Marvel Studios film that was actually shot on location, it still managed to look lifeless as all hell. It was clearly meant to be another attempt at something like Guardians of the Galaxy, taking a lesser known group of characters and propelling them to stardom, but there just wasn’t that same charm, or even an interesting story. What didn’t help is that it came out in 2021, when COVID was still massively affecting cinemas, leading the film to take $402 million home at the box office on a $236 million budget, not exactly a big win.
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently spoke with Inverse about a potential sequel, but it basically sounds like you just shouldn’t expect one. “There are no immediate plans for Eternals 2,” Feige told Inverse. “There are, and I think you’ve seen maybe in a trailer we’ve released recently, an acknowledgment of some of those events. Certain giant things came out of the ocean.”
