Screen Rant<\/a>,\u00a0Zhao was asked about the future of the Eternals in the MCU and explained what she set out to achieve with the divisive blockbuster.\u00a0<\/p>\n“I would love that! Look, you\u2019re right, and you understood it. It\u2019s about a pantheon of gods discussing the nature of humanity, and ultimately their judgment. Which is what Arishem said, ‘I\u2019ll be back for judgment,'” the filmmaker shared.\u00a0“And the reason why those brief plays existed is for humanity to see how the gods are seeing us, so we could evaluate how we were as a part of this cycle of the universe.”<\/p>\n
“Are we doing a good job? Are we kind to each other? Are we getting to know ourselves well enough?”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s there for a reason, this kind of myth, and these [MCU] films are a modern version of that to me,”\u00a0Zhao added.\u00a0“So, I would love to bring them back and have more discussion about the world we live in. I\u2019m really proud of it.”<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked\u00a0about the status of\u00a0Eternals 2. The first movie ended on a huge cliffhanger with Sersi, Phastos, and Kingo all taken from Earth by Arishem for judgment after they helped stop Tiamut’s emergence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thena, Druig, and Makkari, meanwhile, were confronted by Thanos’ brother, Eros, who promised\u00a0to help them find their friends. The stage was set for a sequel, but that cliffhanger looks set to remain unresolved.<\/p>\n
“There are no immediate plans for Eternals 2,”\u00a0Feige has confirmed,\u00a0adding. “There are, and I think you\u2019ve seen maybe in a trailer we\u2019ve released recently, an acknowledgement of some of those events. Certain giant things came out of the ocean” (that’s a reference to Tiamut being the source of Adamantium in the MCU, something we learned in Captain America: Brave New World).<\/p>\n
