Salma Hayek Says ‘Eternals’ Has ‘Its Own DNA’ In The MCU

Salma Hayek explained what sets Chloe Zhao’s Eternals apart from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

Eternals might be the biggest wildcard within Marvel Studios’ Phase Four slate because of its scale and the fact that it will introduce new characters even comic book fans aren’t familiar with. Ahead of its release, it is easy to liken it to the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, but we still have yet to see a single frame from it.

Salma Hayek recently sat down with ET, where she explained how Eternals will be unique compared to the other films in Marvel Studios’ long-running saga:

“I think that it definitely has its own DNA within the Marvel universe. It is different. It was directed by a woman [Zhao] and we didn’t do most of the thing in the studio. They’re real locations which is unusual for Marvel. I’m very excited about the film, it definitely has the special vibe to it that is unique. I’m really excited about it and I love my character and I love the cast.”
