About the film
In the beginning...
What it’s about
The Eternals, superpowered beings sent from Olympia, have secretly lived on Earth for thousands of years. Their mission: defend humanity from the Deviants, monstrous creatures that prey on civilization. Forbidden from interfering otherwise, they scattered after the last Deviant was destroyed. Now, a strange earthquake heralds a new Deviant, forcing them to reunite against a threat that could end everything.

Chloé Zhao, an Academy Award-winning director, brings her vision to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The cast includes Gemma Chan as Sersi, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Angelina Jolie as Thena, and Salma Hayek Pinault as Ajak. Zhao prefers practical filming over chroma key, as noted by Kumail Nanjiani, adding a grounded feel. The film features a diverse ensemble, including Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, a deaf character whose sign language was taught by her father.

- According to actor Kumail Nanjiani, director Chloé Zhao prefers traditional filming over working with green screen technology.
- For the filming, Kumail Nanjiani followed a strict diet and trained with Grant Roberts, a trainer and holder of the Mr. Canada title. Nanjiani worked out at a gym in Beverly Hills five days a week for 3 months to build muscle mass.
