Eternals is Marvel Studios’ next step into expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Though they may not be the household names that Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man are now, they’re still regarded as being a vital part of the larger Marvel Comics pantheon. The Rider director Chloe Zhao will helm the upcoming film that will likely use Jack Kirby‘s art from the comics. But there appears to be much more to it than that.

While on the Captain Marvel press tour, Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige talked a little bit about the upcoming project. More on what he said below.

Marvel Studios will be expanding their cinematic universe by going cosmic after Avengers 4. Earlier this year, the studio went to Matthew Firpo and Ryan Firpo to pen the script for The Eternals, featuring a cosmic group of superheroes that are comparable to DC’s The New Gods. And now they have found a new director. New reports confirm that The Rider director Chloe Zhao will helm the film. More on the story below.

As with almost every Marvel Studios press junket, anything about sequels or developing films will break. That is no different with Avengers: Infinity War. Though much of the talk will be focused on who will survive the latest Avengers, there are already talks about three different potential titles.

According to various reports, Marvel Studios is setting their sights on developing films for Nova, Eternals, and Moon Knight. More on the story below.
