That’s a wrap! It’s been revealed that filming has wrapped on Marvel’sEternals. Last year’sAvengers: EndgameandSpider-Man: Far From Homemarked the end of Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phase 4 is set to kick off this year, withBlack Widowgiving fans something familiar, andEternalsoffering them something totally new. As is typically the case with these solo movies, Marvel is hoping this could become their next big franchise.
According to a new report, all of the cast and crew have wrapped andEternalsis now heading into post-production. A wrap party was held recently and director Chloe Zhao will now be locked away in an editing room getting this sci-fi adventure ready for the big screen later this year. Much likeGuardians of the Galaxybefore it, this movie is based on anobscure property from the pages of Marvel Comicsthat many in the mainstream are completely unfamiliar with. That leaves many wondering when we’ll be treated to the first trailer, especially since filming, or the bulk of it anyway, is now complete.
With most major blockbusters, there is a good chance some reshoots will be needed at some point. But the main point stands, with the movie wrapped, one has to wonder if anEternals trailer isn’t far behind. If Marvel keeps with tradition, it may be a little longer than fans would like to think. BothDoctor StrangerandThor: Ragnarokhit theaters in November, much likeEternalswill, and both of those movies saw their respective trailers debut in April. Undoubtedly, Marvel will want to attach theEternalstrailer to the theatrical release ofBlack Widow, which arrives on May 1. So mid-to-late April would make a lot of sense.
TheEternals came from the mind of comic book legend Jack Kirby, who wrote and illustrated the group’s first solo series in Marvel Comics. In basic terms, it centers on two superpowered groups, theEternalsand the Deviants, who are locked in a war with one another that has raged on for thousands of years. The groups were created by a powerful ancient race known as the Celestials. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has previously said that the movie is both expensive and risky, but that the studio fully supports Chloe Zhao’s vision.
Marvel has assembled quite the castfor the movie, which includes Angelina Jolie (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil), Bryan Tyree Henry (Child’s Play), Lia McHugh (The Lodge), Don Lee (Train to Busan), Salma Hayek (The Hitman’s Bodyguard), Lauren Ridloff (The Walking Dead), Richard Madden (Rocketman), Gemma Chan (Captain Marvel), Barry Keoghan (Dunkirk), Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley) and Kit Harrington (Game of Thrones). Other movies heading our way in Phase 4 includeShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of MadnessandThor: Love and Thunder.Eternalsis set to hit theaters on November 6.
