After the red carpet premiere of Eternals, non-spoiler reactions are making their way. Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao has directed the movie. And with this movie, Marvel is gearing up to introduce the new superhero team to the audience. Celestials created Eternals making them immortal and sending them to earth to protect humans from Deviants.
Eternals are living with humans for thousands of years. However, they never interfere in human issues until it’s necessary. They have blended with humans and stayed undercover. Hence, not much is known about them. The main Eternals team is composed of Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Gemma Chan as Sersi, and Barry Keoghan as Druig. Eternals started as one team, however, they decided to part ways after a few years.
But in the movie, the team gets back together to fight the looming Emergence. Smart Hulk’s reverse snap in Avengers: Endgame started the event. And in the movie, the new superhero team will fight the danger.
Eternals Movie Initial Reactions
There is a lot of expectations from the movie. And the initial reactions for the movie are just in. Check them out below.
What Do the Initial Reviews Say About Movie?
Reading the initial reviews, it is safe to say Marvel Studios might have succeeded at introducing this new team of superheroes. Also, this is the first time Marvel is bringing a new superhero team that has never appeared in any previous project. The last time when this happened was with James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
But the most important thing about the movie is that introducing Eternals is much trickier. This is because there are several characters. However, the director Zhao has definitely found a way to put each character in the right place at the right time. Also, with the reviews, it seems like most of the movie will focus on establishing the role of each character in the MCU. And this is crucial too as these characters will play an important role in the franchise.
Another thing worth noting is that the movie had two post-credits scenes. However, it is difficult to place these scenes and understand what they mean. But one thing is for sure, the scenes will be franchise-changing. Moreover, based on the reviews it feels like Zhao didn’t follow MCU’s typical movie-making format. Instead of the three-part storytelling, the difference in format makes the movie new and refreshing.
