Cypher's teenage son, Kitai (Jaden Smith), feels enormous pressure to follow in his father's legendary footsteps. Marvel Studios assembled a star-studded cast for the movie with Angelina Jolie as Thena, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh. “Gemma was very interested in this idea as well and took on the challenge. Cypher Raige (Will Smith) heads Nova Prime's most-prominent family. Created by the Celestials, they were sent to Earth thousands of years ago to protect people from the Deviants. “It has always been a passion for me to create a nuanced female superhero that is rarely seen in this genre,” Zhao said. (Chan also played Minn-Erva in 2019’s Captain Marvel.) Zhao explained to Vogue why it was important for her to include Sersi in Eternals. In Eternals, Sersi is a museum curator on Earth, who’s dating a man named Dane Whitman, before she and the rest of the Eternals reunite to fight the Deviants. Sersi, who is love interests with Ikaris, has the ability to manipulate inanimate matter. Gemma Chan, who is best known for her role as Astrid Leong in Crazy Rich Asians, plays Sersi, an Eternal with a strong connection to humans and the Earth. It doesn’t mean we can’t pay tribute to the really iconic version that we’ve all grown to love and has influenced us.” Angelina Jolie as ThenaĬourtesy of Everett Collection. A film with a small cast of characters, which I prefer at times as some films can overwhelm me with many characters and too many action scenes. “We’re playing on a genre that draws so much from mythology, and Superman, for example, was created in the comics and also by these brilliant filmmakers along the way-they’re modern reinterpretations of a mythical characters that exist in different cultures,” she said. In an interview with Variety, Zhao explained why she decided to include the scene in Eternals. Following a crash landing on Earth, a young boy and his estranged father must make an arduous journey and survive the elements to signal for help. The parallels are referenced in Eternals when Jack, Phastos’ son, told his father, “Dad, that’s Superman! With the cape, and you were shooting laser beams out of your eyes!” To which Ikaris responds, “I don’t wear a cape.” Ikaris’ powers have some similarities to those of Superman from the DC Comics. Ikaris, who is Sersi’s love interest, can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes.
Richard Madden, who is best known for his role as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones, plays Ikaris in Eternals. If you want to experience breathtaking and beautiful animation, I couldn't recommend this any more.Image: Courtesy of Everett Collection. It was an appreciation of music and animation. (If anything, they look more simple) This film, as cliched as the story was, was visually inspired. (Hey, let's dumb down the gothic horror 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' and give him cute sidekicks!) The look of Disney films hasn't changed in years.
Every year I sigh when I see a preview for another assembly line Disney film. Finally, though I wouldn't consider this film 'adult' by any means, the slighter darker tone made it much more accessible as an adult viewer. But this trip, in my eyes blew those films away. I have no problem calling this a revolutionary step forward in animation. Yet, as the movie progressed, the two became as one to my eyes. There are times when the two styles were a glaring contrast. In addition to a stellar main cast, Marvels Eternals also reserved some bombshell character reveals, as per usual, for its highly anticipated post-credits scene.Heres who each actor plays in the latest MCU film and where. The ensemble cast for Marvel’s Eternals movie includes Oscar nominees, television stars, and a South Korean movie icon. There are some who say that the mix of 3d and traditional 2d animation didn't work. Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Marvels Eternals. And during the incredibly inventive action scenes, I was surprised to find myself at the edge of my seat. If it was a slow scene, I just gazed at the beautiful eye candy. I was completely caught up in everything I saw on the screen. Yet I didn't think about it for a second while I watched the film unfold. I had read that, although the movie was mediocre, it was the kind of film that's great for showing off your DVD player. After reading a number of negative reviews of this film, I went ahead and bought the DVD.
