Visual Effects Work On Marvel’s Eternals Movie Continues
These days, good news is welcome. Very welcome.
And Flickering Myth delivered some of that happy content this morning, when they posted, “VFX work continues on Marvel’s Eternals.”
Now the MickeyBlog.com family has posted several stories about the shut down of studios under the Walt Disney Company banner.
However, today Gary Collinson wrote, “[T]he MCU isn’t on hold completely, as visual effects company Scanline VFX has announced that its staff are continuing to work remotely on various projects, which includes November’s Eternals movie from Marvel Studios.”
The below tweet is the official statement:

Starring Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani, and Kit Harrington among many others, the film is based on the Marvel comics by Jack Kirby.

What could draw out and unite the celestial beings known as the Eternals out from hiding? The global…universal scale of the events of Avengers: Endgame!
Marvel Studios’ The Eternals features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, The Deviants.
The outstanding ensemble cast include Richard Madden as the all-powerful Ikaris, Gemma Chan as humankind-loving Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani as the cosmic-powered Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as the super-fast Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as the intelligent inventor Phastos, Salma Hayek as the wise and spiritual leader Ajak, Lia McHugh as the eternally young, old-soul Sprite, Don Lee as the powerful Gilgamesh, Barry Keoghan as the aloof loner Druig, and Angelina Jolie as the fierce warrior Thena. Kit Harrington was cast as Dane Whitman.
The official Marvel website still lists Eternals with a November 6 opening date (221 days away).
