Marvel Studios' "Eternals" feature film, directed by Chloe Zhao, stars Angelina Jolie ("Lara Croft: Tomb Raider") as the warrior 'Thena' and Kit Harington ("Game of Thrones") as 'Dane Whitman', opening November 6, 2020
"...Marvel Studios' 'The Eternals' features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the 'Marvel Cinematic Universe': ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years.
"Following the events of 'Avengers: Endgame', an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankind's most ancient enemy, 'The Deviants'.
"The outstanding ensemble cast includes Richard Madden as the all-powerful 'Ikaris'...
"...Gemma Chan as humankind-loving 'Sersi', Kumail Nanjiani as the cosmic-powered 'Kingo,' Lauren Ridloff as the super-fast 'Makkari'...
...Brian Tyree Henry as the intelligent inventor 'Phastos', Salma Hayak as the wise and spiritual leader 'Ajak', Lia McHugh as 'Sprite', Don Lee as the powerful 'Gilgamesh' and Barry Keoghan as 'Druig'..."
Written and illustrated by "Captain America" co-creator Jack 'King' Kirby in 1976, Marvel Comics' 19-issue "The Eternals" series...
...focused on an offshoot of the evolutionary process responsible for sentient life on Earth.
"...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'", said Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige about the new film.
"The film is More like 'Guardians', not tonally, but in terms of introducing a new group of people.
"Jack Kirby did an immense, amazing epic with 'The 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."
