Marvel Studios has now announced an official Disney+ premiere date for Eternals, and it lines up with previous reports. Chloe Zhao's divisive superhero epic will be available to stream early in the new year on January 12.
Eternals proved to be worst-reviewed movie in the MCU so far, and stands out as the only Marvel Studios release to slip into "rotten" territory on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite this, the film has performed reasonably well (though probably not quite as well as Marvel/Disney will have hoped) at the box office, recently passing the $400 million mark worldwide.
All things considered, an early streaming release was probably inevitable, and it remains to be seen how the 2 hours 30 mins-plus movie will fare on Disney+ this time next month.
Marvel Studios’ Eternals follows a group of heroes from beyond the stars who had protected the Earth since the dawn of man. When monstrous creatures called the Deviants, long thought lost to history, mysteriously return, the Eternals are forced to reunite in order to defend humanity once again.
The outstanding ensemble cast includes Gemma Chan as humankind-loving Sersi, Richard Madden as the all-powerful Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as cosmic-powered Kingo, Lia McHugh as the eternally young, old-soul Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as the intelligent inventor Phastos, Lauren Ridloff as the super-fast Makkari, Barry Keoghan as aloof loner Druig, Don Lee as the powerful Gilgamesh, with Kit Harington as Dane Whitman, with Salma Hayek as the wise and spiritual leader Ajak, and Angelina Jolie as the fierce warrior Thena.
