“In the past, we see the Eternals - who in our version of the mythology are immortal aliens from a planet called Olympia - who've been asked by the Celestials to rid the Earth of creatures called the Deviants. The first thing experienced on set was an overall rundown by producer Nate Moore about the story, how the production came together, and an introduction of each of the ten Eternals, including the actors portraying them and their character design.
Eternals was created by Jack Kirby in 1976, “but we do change some of the Kirby mythology,” says Moore, “so our movie takes place over two time periods… There's a past storyline and a present storyline.” With ten Eternals, it’s the largest cast Marvel’s had for a first movie, but with a story that covers such a large scope of time and history, the large cast is warranted. Set on Earth over the course of 7,000 years, producer Nate Moore calls Eternals Marvel’s “most ambitious first film” yet. When monstrous creatures long thought lost to history, called the Deviants, mysteriously return, the Eternals must reunite to defend humanity once again. The wait is almost over to see the final product - the film lands in only theaters on November 5, and it’s sure to launch a whole new chapter for Marvel Studios.ĭirected by Chloé Zhao, Marvel Studios’ Eternals follows a group of heroes from beyond the stars who have protected the Earth since the dawn of time.
On that trip, members of the press toured the set, sat in on presentations from key members of the creative team, and interviewed members of the cast and crew, including actors Salma Hayek and Lia McHugh and producer Nate Moore. Disney News had the incredible opportunity to visit the set of Marvel Studios’ Eternals in London on the last official day of filming - day 82 of 82 - as the production, complete with epic locations, costumes, props, and characters, began to wrap up.
