Salma Hayek revealed each characters personality, while a producer teased some elements of the plot.
The details ofMarvel Studiosupcoming filmEternalshave been largely kept under wraps.
In many ways,Eternalsis a departure from mostMarvel Cinematic Universe movies.
She pushed us, I think, as a filmmaker to makeEternalsfeel aesthetically different than any other Marvel movie.
Based on what was revealed at the set visit, thats definitely going to be the case.
I think theres the expectation that this movie will probably borrow a lot from [Gaiman’sEternals].
But we do change some of the Kirby mythology, and our movie takes place over two time periods.
There’s a past storyline and a present storyline.
One of the past storylines shows the Eternals arriving on Earth to begin their mission of exterminating the Deviants.
While they are initially successful, over time the Eternals begin to drift apart as a team.
The present is very much a mystery of why the Deviants [are] back, Moore adds.
And then Makkari [played by Lauren Ridloff] is the one that has to know everything.
and the present day.
Moore credits this decision to Zhao, whose previous films employed similar techniques.
[Zhao] likes to shoot a lot of natural locations with natural light.
Actually, this film has shot outside exteriors more than any other Marvel film.
And I think it’s lent a look that’s unlike anything we’ve ever done, said Moore.
Eve Stewart,Eternals production designer, said that Zhaos preference for real sets helped the cast.
And the actors loved that.
It’s all here, so they’re in the zone.
Stewart also recalled how she and Zhao worked to create a look that was distinct from previous MCU projects.
For a spaceship used by films heroes, Stewart said Zhao pulled from geometric motifs.
So that was our starting point.
The team also looked to natural, celestial materials.
In the end, we decided to go with the kind of dust that trails meteors.
Its a very new kind of material, and it was exactly the same color.
It was like we had a premonition.
We did a complete redesign, said Moore.
Like the production designers, the costume team also looked to the cosmos for inspiration.
Everything is hand-painted and hand-printed.
Eternalswill premiere in theaters on Nov. 5.
