It is a bad movie, ideal to fall asleep, that does not need a sequel even if they have left loose ends. Nobody cares. Oh well: Marvel Studios going to produce Eternals 2.
The news is not surprising, it disappoints. The American media have echoed the return of the award-winning Chloé Zhao as director, after Patton Oswalt, actor, comedian and interpreter of Pip the troll, will reveal the news on the Today Show.
“They have announced that there will be a sequel to Eternals and Chloé Zhao is going to direct it. So hopefully there will be more adventures of Starfox and PipOswalt said, confirming the return of the filmmaker, Harry Styles as Starfox, Thanos’ brother, and Oswald himself as Pip.
Seeing the movie at the premiere, it was clear to us that Marvel was planning a sequel for three small unfinished arcs: the return of Arishem, the appearance of Starfox and Pip in the post credits scene and the imminent arrival of Black Knightwhom we should see in Blade as Kit Harrington.
Nevertheless, The film grossed just over $400 million., received a cold reception from the public and it seemed unexpected that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU, for its acronym in English) will present a sequel to Eternals. Most probably wait to see it on Disney + and do not waste their time in the cinema.
The failure of Eternals
Eternals was a cinematographic proposal that brought more than 10 new characters to the MCUwith Richard Madden (Ikaris), Kumail Nanjiani (Kingo), Salma Hayek (Ajak), Angelina Jolie (Thena), Lauren Ridloff (Makkari), Brian Tyree Henry (Phastos), Lia McHugh (Sprite), Don Lee (Gilgamesh) , Barry Keoghan (Druig), Kit Harrington (Dane Whitman / Black Knight), and Gemma Chan (Sersi).
47% of 100 of Rotten Tomatoes It says a lot about Eternals, taking into account that this evaluator usually puts Marvel-Disney productions well above.
“An ambitious superhero epic that soars as often as it struggles, Eternals takes the MCU in intriguing and occasionally confusing new directions.”, was the consensus of RT.
The truth is that the tape divided criticism between positive and negative commentsor as the BBC’s Nicholas Barber put it: “Eternals may not be the worst of the Marvel movies, but it’s certainly the most disappointing.”.
