ETERNALS Star Kit Harington Comments On The Status Of The Movie Following COVID-19 Delay

We were supposed to see Eternals on the big screen this November, but COVID-19 has changed everything, and now star Kit Harington has commented on the current status of the Marvel Studios movie...

It's a tough time to be a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe right now. With Black Widow pushed from May to November, we're facing the longest gap between theatrical releases in a decade, and Eternals - one of the most highly anticipated Phase 4 movies - has been pushed to next year. 

That's all a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, of course, and in the case of Eternals, vital post-production work (and reshoots which are commonplace for a blockbuster like this) has been delayed.

As you might expect, cast members are as confused as the rest of us in regards to what comes next, something Kit Harington admitted in a recent Q&A with fans. 

"Well [The Eternals] is done, that's filmed," he says. "It's just, God knows what happened...or what's going on with it, I have no idea. I don't know what's happening with anything right now."

Harington was likely expecting to take part in additional photography and ADR over the summer, while the Black Knight actor would have also been booked in for a lengthy promotional tour. 

That's all changed now, though, and Eternals is coming our way on February 12th, 2021 instead of November 6th, this year. We will eventually get to see the movie, but a first look could be a long way off, and with so much uncertainty surrounding what comes next, who knows what the plan is for this Phase 4 release.

Like Harington, we'll just have to wait and see for the time being!

@tmp3 - Yes, but if we didn't have an article, we wouldn't have an excuse to post "You Know Nothing, Jon Snow" memes.

Marvel has a fully locked and loaded ETERNALS trailer on deck and they're just choosing to not unleash it

@OmegaDaGrodd - though I don't necessarily hold that against them too much. Yes, very clearly such a thing would have a strong "let's raise our spirits" effect. But they've had their well worn marketing strategies like so for a reason. Especially when there's still as much of a fog around the answer of a viable release time, given they're a business first and foremost I'd imagine they'd believe it might not be healthiest to have a proper trailer out for such an extended time. Hype and interest for something can ebb and flow more and more on a longer timeline. Sure it's doubtful the diehard completists would care much, but they have to consider the entire audience.

Do I like it? of course not, but I can hardly blame them.

That is the answer of someone who's been boozing and doesn't want to be asked about work.
