ETERNALS Writers Reveal Ideas For Possible Disney+ Spinoff Series And Where The Sequel Could Take Us

Josh when we all think the Eternals articles are done

Man forget those ideas, just put the sequel on there. I can tell these guys don’t want the juicy stuff on the small screen

They should make a spin-off show that's mockumentary style about the making of every film Kingo has starred in.

I'm up for anything. I really liked this movie. It will be interesting how the dead characters will be treated once they return. Will they be the same or will they have new traits?

I kinda want a special about Kingo and Matt Damon's stage actor character reenect some events from previous Marvel movies (although with a spin on it)

By the sound of things the Eternalsmovie should have been a Disney Plus show and The Inhumans would have made a better movie.

I saw the movie yesterday, and admittedly I haven't really read any reviews in detail, but I gotta say I don't get how people could dislike the movie. I had heard about the negative reviews and was waiting for something to ruin my experience and nothing ever came to do so.

The biggest criticism I had picked up was that the movie was unfocused and complicated to follow. I don't get that at all, they very clearly lay everything out multiple times whenever they meet up with another eternal or their situation or understanding of said situation changes. Was the movie doing a lot? Sure, but it never felt like a scatter shot of a movie, throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks, everything was very much related to the main plot of the movie. I've seen movies that try doing to much and end up doing nothing because of it, this wasn't one of those movies to me.

Also I remember reading that people said this was the most DC or Snyder like Marvel movie. Never once felt that way at all to me. Snyder's movies, to me, were always cut up, bloated and fairly boring, always felt like things happened in his move just so he could get to a scene with a shot he really wanted to make. The only resemblance I get to his movies and this is that he treated the DC heroes like gods and very much emphasized making them look that way. In eternals I never really saw them as gods, even though obviously they inspired human interpretations of them. Marvel does a good job of making their heroes feel like just people with powers or abilities, even Thor, Norse god of Thunder, feels like an actual person. That link feels very superficial to me between eternals and any DC/Snyder movie.

Anyway I liked it a lot, I just wished people hadn't spoiled the Icarus turn months ago because I thought they did a decent job hiding the fact he would turn up until a few minutes before his "reveal". The only gripe I can understand was the whole deviant evolution thing that didn't really need to be in the movie, it's not like it ruined it for me but when it comes to doing too much I can see how that bothered people. The deviants could still have been in the move but you didn't need a whole subplot about one of them evolving and stealing the powers of the eternals, you could have just had them coming out of the ice and hunting down eternals as a distraction for Icarus without any of the other stuff. I get what they were going for with the whole by them being intelligent being created by Arishem they are a dark mirror of the eternals themselves, and I personally liked it, but I can see how others thought it was another conflict on top of all the others that didn't need to be there.

Definitely one I'm going to rewatch though, enjoyed it a lot. 8/10 for me.

They could introduce Inhumans! Do it. Somewhere on Earth the Terrigen gas catalyst was activated, Yada Yada Inhumans lol

I still think with the heavy mythos, plot lines, and characters they were juggling, they should have made this a series to begin with.

Saw the movie last night. I liked it and I also thought it one of the weaker entries. To the folks saying it should have been a series instead - you are right on. The Eternals would make an awesome series, totally awesome. Kingo has to be main star though..... Freaking loved that guy!

I will say this though - the last act of that film was excellent. I honestly can say I didn't know how they would end it. Loved how each of the the characters made their way through the events. (being careful not to drop a single spoiler!). Very entertaining.

A sequel movie centered on them finding other Eternals and going after Arishem could be interesting, but I'm the camp of wanting a Disney+ anthology series on these characters. I can think of several stories that (to me at least) could make for good episodes.

* YES to the Kingo/Trevor Slattery behind-the-movie mockumentary
* With good writers I'm sure entertaining MCU adaptations of the Story of Icarus and the Epic of Gilgamesh could be done well
* Same with adapting any stories about Circe or Athena.
* Two ideas I think could be interesting based around Phastos would be expanding on his time with the Manhattan Project, and I think a story presenting him as the true Bast who united the 5 tribes of Wakanda by teaching them how to use Vibranium would be cool. Those two could intertwine, as the success in Wakanda could serve as motivation to join the Manhattan Project later.
* Makkari could adapt the story from the comics posing as Thoth in ancient Egypt.
