Eternals | In Theaters on Friday, Nov. 5
Plot: The saga of the Eternals, a race of immortal beings who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations.
Our Take: Eternals is unlike anything you’ve seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s an epic story, spanning galaxies and the whole of human history, but it’s also one of the most grounded outings in the MCU (courtesy of Nomadland’s Oscar-winning writer/director Chloé Zhao). The ensemble cast includes Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, and "Game of Thrones" alums Kit Harington and Richard Madden, each starring as characters worthy of their own franchises as the Eternals continue their millennia-long battle against the Deviants. While the film is destined to be one of the most divisive in Marvel Studios history due to its long runtime, unfamiliar characters, and lack of cameos from existing heroes, it’s an exciting glimpse at how Marvel can continue to invent by inviting new voices to create. — Marcus
