While fans are awaiting Avengers: Endgame with great anticipation, Marvel Studios has already set a few plans for the next phase of the MCU and they include a cosmic film centered on The Eternals. Now, a new listing from Production Weekly reveals the project is set to begin filming in Atlanta on August 1 of this year. While there is no official synopsis for the project, the listing includes the following story details:
“The story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes in moving amongst humans.”
In the comics, the Eternals are a fictional evolutionary offshoot of humanity who possess superpowers and longer lifespans than normal humans. Created by the Celestials over a million years ago, the superpowered beings were the result of genetic experiments that led to the creation of two divergent races: The Eternals and The Deviants. Often defending Earth from their monstrous counterparts, the Eternals became embroiled in a civil war amongst themselves over whether or not they should conquer the other races. One faction was led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother named Uranos, with Kronos’ side ultimately winning the conflict while Uranos and his followers were exiled.
The Eternals will be directed by Chloe Zhao from a script written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo.
