The behind-the-scenes Eternals photos came from Chan’s Twitter account, which shows the stars of the high profile Marvel Studios film. Eternals had a great number of A-list actors and these photos make them appear as if they have a close relationship with each other, which is good to see. It appears the film meant a great deal for all of the cast and crew.

Included in the photos shared by Chan are her co-stars Richard Madden, Barry Keoghan, Lauren Ridloff, and Brian Tyree Henry. In one of the photos, fans can see Chan, Ridloff, and Keoghan together in full costume as their respective characters. All of the talents were heavily involved in the creative process of bringing a project of this magnitude to life. In the photos, fans can see how much of a family this ensemble felt like for them. The Eternals got their introduction in this film and while it probably won’t get a sequel, that doesn’t mean that fans won’t see them in the future. Salma Hayek signed on for multiple Marvel movies, so this potentially may be the last Eternals film, but it doesn’t mean it’s the last fans will get to see of this universe or the characters.
Marvel Studios is known for introducing new heroes and compelling villains in its films. Eternals brought a good number of characters into the fold while also teasing a few more appearances than fans probably expected. The film did a great job at hiding this from the masses but, of course, the internet makes it harder for those who follow things closely. Eternals may not have been received well by critics, but it certainly was a passion project for the people involved.
Eternals has been critiqued pretty harshly and a lot of news about the film in recent weeks was about its rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many people have critiques for Marvel and superhero movies in general, especially other folks in the film industry. A lot of the critiques for Eternals may be a result of the film having A-list actors in it, which Marvel Studios isn’t typically known for doing. Marvel is usually the place where actors go to become ‘A-listers’ rather than the other way around.
Still, Marvel isn’t all bad, as it propelled a lot of film tropes that have stuck around. Their mid-credits or post-credits scenes are common staples for almost all of their films because the universe/story is all intertwined and connected. Many movie studios have started their own shared universe, including Legendary Pictures with the ‘Monsterverse’. Fast and Furious is another example, and even The Conjuring has its own universe where things spin-off and connect to the plot of the main films. Plus, the post-credits are a good way for the people who worked hard on the film to get the recognition they deserve while fans wait for something in return. It’s a perfect win-win.
Eternals is currently out in theaters.
