In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kumail Nanjiani discussed how The Eternals is going to be Marvel’s most science-fiction film.
“It’s really, really an epic.And it’s really such a science-fiction story. It’s a superhero story, but in some ways, it’s the most sci-fi of all the Marvel movies and it’s the most epic of all the Marvel movies. And the story spans thousands of years. So it’s really not like any of the other Marvel movies.”
Marvel’s first foray into hardcore science-fiction was Guardians of the Galaxy, which paved the way for future Marvel films to explore the cosmos and other far reaches of the universe. Since then, films like Thor: Ragnarok and Avengers: Endgame have continued to expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s space geography. With The Eternals, one can only imagine where Kumail Nanjiani and co. will be going.
