ETERNALS Star Lauren Ridloff Weighs In On Which Speedster Is Faster: Makkari Or DC's The Flash

There's been a lot of chatter online about which speedster is faster: Eternals' Makkari or Justice League's Flash. Now, actress Lauren Ridloff is weighing on that heated debate. Read on for details...

Over the past few years, we've seen a lot of speedsters brought to the big screen. Quicksilver had his fair share of memorable moments in both the X-Men and Avengers franchises, while The Flash managed to race through time itself in Zack Snyder's Justice League. In Eternals, we meet Makkari, a character who definitely gives the Fastest Man Alive a run for his money.

Who is quicker? That's something fans have been debating for a few days now, especially as we see Makkari race across the globe in a matter of seconds! 

During a recent interview with CineXpress, Eternals star Lauren Ridloff weighed in on which speedster is fastest. "Okay, so this is a conversation I had with my son. When he first found out that I was going to be the fastest woman in the universe he said, 'No you're not.' He brought over his laptop and looked into the computer and said, 'Look! It's true! Flash is faster than Makkari.'"

"But I'm sure [it's] Makkari," Ridloff adds, "because she travels faster than the speed of sound."

Makkari definitely appears to be faster than The Flash, and is a far more formidable fighter. We'd like to throw Evan Peters' Quicksilver into the mix seeing as time essentially stops when he speeds up, though we don't think Aaron Taylor-Johnson's version would pose much of a threat to any of them!

Eternals is now playing in theaters. Watch our interview with Druig actor Barry Keoghan below:

😂 so her son didn’t tell her that The Flash runs so fast he can actually time travel and go through different multiverses. Faster than the speed of sound is cool and all but not Flash level.

@JohnCastillo - yeah. And both versions of the flash in live action are confirmed faster than light. Does she think sound travels faster than light?

@Origame @JohnCastillo - i dont think it matters, whoever is faster depends on the writer that day. its the same with goku vs superman, a never ending debate lol

@mastakilla39 - I mean, if later on she becomes much faster than light I'd give that to you. But she's directly using the current speed which she describes as the speed of sound as reason makkari must be faster. Which is either showing ignorance of the actual speed of the flash or failure to understand how fast these speeds really are.

As of right now, it's just flat out wrong to say that makkari is faster. Both in film, and in comics considering makkari was beaten by the flash when he was in the marvel universe.

@JohnCastillo - if you can travel faster than light i believe you would be infinitely 'dense'... which explains Ezra.

It doesn't matter! She has the coolest scenes anyway! CW and Snyder's Flash don't even come close. I hope the Flash movie live upto the expectations!

@KanchaCheena - you guys keep saying that, but I really don't see anything all that impressive. It's nothing we haven't seen from the cw flash even, just with more convincing effects (and I'd even argue cw flash could be more impressive early seasons).

@Origame - Nah! The overuse of slow-motion to showcase the power of Speedsters really pisses me off. The DOFP scene was cool at first but it got boring in the next movie. This was really refreshing. Especially the scene where she ran through a desert in full speed. That was so cool. I wish we get more of that in The Flash.

@KanchaCheena - I mean, I can see that if you're just tired of slomo. But it's not like they only use slomo. And they still do some amazing things with the speed outside of the slomo bits, like vibrating through walls, creating an army of after image versions of you, running up walls, disassembling cars instantly, running through ultron bots like nothing, catching debris so fast it forms an umbrella of lightning while occasionally catching glimpses of the flash, etc.

Not to mention most of their impressive feats simply can't be done in an interesting way without some level of slomo. Like the speed force scene. How can you depict that without some form of slomo? And that's easily his most impressive feat.

Again, I'll give the film props for avoiding slomo. But that doesn't make what we got anymore impressive than what came before.

@KanchaCheena - I haven’t seen Eternals yet but that Flash scene at the end of Zack Snyder’s Justice League was beautiful. Although it was mostly the time reversing and emotional aspect of it that was impressive more than the actual running. Oh and the music was great, and as we all know great music can elevate a scene.
