A new ancient time period has been revealed for Marvel Studios’ The Eternals thanks to a behind the scenes photo from actress Lauren Ridloff.
Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has said in the past that the upcoming Phase Four film, The Eternals, will span thousands of years. Recent set photos for Marvel Studios’ The Eternals have confirmed that the film will take place in modern times. This is surely one of many time periods The Eternals will cover.
A new behind the scenes photo reveals another, which hints at just how far back the upcoming Marvel Studios film will go. The photo comes from The Eternals star Lauren Ridloff, who is showing off Okoye’s costume. In the background of the photo, you can see a poster on the wall that reads, “Babylon 800 BC.” You can check out the image courtesy of Marvel News on Twitter.
Lauren Ridloff, a Makkari de 'Eternos', publicou hoje uma imagem com o figurino de sua colega de TWD em algum escritório da Marvel Studios.
Mas o curioso é que no fundo da imagem aparece escrito "Babilônia 800 A.C.". Seria esse um dos períodos que o filme se passará? #Eternals pic.twitter.com/ZkpEPfrnkI

Plot details for The Eternals remain under wraps, however, the story reportedly features a love story between Sersi and the Black Knight. Created by Jack Kirby in 1976, the Eternals are a fictional evolutionary offshoot of humanity created by the Celestials over a million years ago. The beings who possess superpowers and longer lifespans were the result of genetic experiments that led to the creation of fellow divergent races such as the Deviants (hideous monsters of human origin who are ancestors to the Atlanteans), and Latents (the predecessors to the Mutants and Mutates that make up many of Marvel’s superheroes).
The cast of The Eternals includes Gemma Chan as Sersi, Kit Harington as the Black Knight, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Angelina Jolie as Thena, and Barry Keoghan as Druig. Marvel Studios has tapped Chloe Zhao to direct the project from a script written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo.
Marvel Studios’ The Eternals is set to be released on November 6, 2020. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news regarding the future of Marvel Studios’ Phase Four projects.
