No, ETERNALS Isn't Getting An Extended Director's Cut When It's Released On Blu-ray

There's been a lot of speculation this week that Eternals might be getting a director's cut in time for its home entertainment release, but it's now been confirmed that won't be the case. Check it out...

You may have heard rumblings over the past few days that an extended cut of Eternals is coming to Blu-ray. The "news "broke after the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) shared a listing indicating they had classified an extended version of the movie that was a whole 17 minutes longer. 

The movie was already pretty supersized at over two-and-a-half hours, but we know there will be deleted scenes on the Blu-ray, so it was certainly feasible that a longer version of Eternals exists.

Of course, with the Disney+ and Blu-ray release already announced, it was a little odd that this was the first we were hearing about a "Director's Cut." Well, the BBFC has now clarified that the listing on their site was actually referring to Eternals' audio commentary and special features rather than a longer version of the movie itself. We suspected that might be the case, but it's now confirmed. 

Marvel Studios has yet to release a Director's Cut for any of their movies, so we're not surprised Eternals won't be the first. While they frequently share deleted scenes, a lot of those are often kept back (which was evident from the new ones included in the Infinity Saga box set), so who knows, it's possible one will be released eventually.

@smell - it doesn’t have someone you can follow along for the ride like Rogue or Logan, it tries to be avengers without the buildup… or rather JL🤮without the buildup😂, a pretty movie and not just spectacle without substance either but a bit too “you don’t have to save them” “save who? I’m tired of humans, Martha” “call me mom, I don’t want the neighbors to think anything inappropriate” and that cynicism maybe thought provoking but it goes past antihero to villain and that’s only entertaining when it’s… good. Like Invincible’s dad. Metro Man.

I didn’t get a chance to see this yet. I’ll wait on next week and see what’s to it. People I know thought it was decent

The plot and story itself really falls apart once you take 5 minutes to back track. It might be the best looming mcu movie to date, but it's also to most forgettable

Not sure I’ll ever watch Eternals again, it’s pretty low on my MCU rankings. Appreciate the ambition but very few things worked for me.

For what it was, I liked it. But that's it. I just liked it. I definitely don't think it's the worst MCU picture (I'm looking at you, Dark World), but I can't help but feel that this was a slightly wasted endeavor. I mean...Eternals could have been MONUMENTAL. It should have been. I really wanted to walk out of the theatre picking up the pieces of my blown mind. Instead, I was struggling to remember what happened in the first act. But I think we have to remember, Zhao hadn't yet truly established herself as one of the great filmmakers when she was attached to direct this. I think, had this been made several months AFTER the release of Nomadland, I think we would have seen a much different picture.

Eternals will make a fine addition to my Marvel Blu Ray collection. I have them all.

Good. The last thing this film needs is to be even more bloated and over-long than it already was in theaters.

Spiderman No Way Home is the only phase 4 film I've seen. Ive started Shang Chi like 12 times, farthest I've gotten is the Wong and Abomination cameo. I'll check out Eternals when it drops because I'm more curious than anything.

Oh wait, I did see Black Widow, but that was clearly forgettable. I've enjoyed the Disney+ shows more.

OT: but I was thinking about Rogue One... the most tragic thing about it is that it was pitched and made into a movie before the Disney+ shows took off with The Mandalorian, because I 100% feel each and every flaw in Rogue one could have been fixed by allowing more time for the audience to see these characters gel into an actual team and do stuff before they all die together to get the schematics for the Death Star.

Eternals is the second best MCU Phase 4 movie behind Spider-Man NWH. Shang-Chi and Black Widow are not even close to the level of Spidey and the Eternals.

By the sound of things,Eternals is crap why would you want it to be longer.

From the trailer a lot of the scenes looked boring,why make them longer.
