Even with the big names featured in the cast, it is Chan who appears to be the lead ofEternals, which is a significant step up in her second MCU role. Her Sersi has been the star of many set photos that reflect the personality of the character comic fans are familiar with. This allowed her to eventually become an Avenger in the comics, which is where she also had a romantic relationship with the human Avenger Dane Whitman, known as Black Knight.
Marvel previously announced that Kit Harington would play Black KnightinEternals and left many wondering if this romance would make its way to the big screen. Adam B. Vary described the film as "unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film. Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one trending video on YouTube and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24 hours. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said in April 2018 that the studio was actively developing a film based on the Marvel Comics series Eternals, created by Jack Kirby, to release as part of their Phase Four slate of films. Marvel Studios had met with multiple screenwriters, and was believed to be focusing on the character Sersi in the film. Marvel set Ryan and Kaz Firpo to write the script a month later, with their outline including a love story between the characters Sersi and Ikaris.
In June, Feige said Marvel was interested in exploring the "ancient aliens kind of sci-fi trope" by having the Eternals be the inspiration for myths and legends throughout the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Born in London's Acton neighborhood in 1986, Harington made his acting debut with the lead role of Albert Narracott in the acclaimed 2008 West End production of War Horse. After starring in another English play called Posh, he landed his television debut as Jon Snow in HBO's Game of Thrones, which ran for eight seasons and singlehandedly elevated his career to A-list status. The large and diverse ensemble ofEternalsfeatures major Hollywood stars like Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek, but Thena and Ajak are not going to be the main characters of the film. Richard Madden's Ikaris is believed to be one of the main characters, with Gemma Chan's Sersi also receiving a large role. She has been a constant in Eternals set photos, but one actor fans have been waiting to see filming isGame of Thrones star Kit Harington.
NewEternalsmovie set photos provide the first look at Kit Harington's Black Knight, but only in civilian clothes. Marvel Studios is making steady progress on Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with multiple productions on movies and Disney+ shows underway. At the moment, Chloé Zhao'sEternalsis the only upcoming MCU movie that is currently filming.
Even though the main characters of the film may not be widely known right now, Marvel gave the movie immense star power to get fans excited. We now have our first look at game of Thrones star Kit Harington in Eternal. On Monday, Marvel Studios released a new Eternals poster and teaser trailer for the superhero film ahead of its theatrical release in November.
With a great cast, Eternal will mark Harington's debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dane Whitman, the man who becomes the Black Knight. In comic books, Whitman and Sersi share a romantic history, especially when it comes to their time together as members of the Avengers. In another set of pictures, Nanjiani's Kingo can be seen meeting with Chan's Sersi.
The pictures also featured Sprite, the marvel character played by Lia McHugh. McHugh's character can be seen busy texting on her cell phone while sitting on a suitcase. In addition to these actors, the film also stars Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Ma Dong-Seok. As production onEternals continues, there is a chance that future set photos could reveal Black Knight's actual suit. There has so far been no confirmation it will be featured in the film, but that hasn't stopped people from making excellent concept treatments.
Perhaps the reason Dane isn't in his traditional costume though is that he hasn't yet become the Black Knight. With a November release date attached toEternals, it will only be a matter of time before more official information is released. New set photos from Marvel'sEternals confirms a romance between Kit Harington and Gemma Chan's characters. Production is well underway on the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there have been plenty of reveals to come from the set.
Director Chloé Zhao has led filming all over the globe and brought the all-star cast assembled by Marvel Studios with her. Headlined by the likes of Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek,Eternals will focus on a group of genetically enhanced humans in a story that spans thousands of years. Marvel considered Eternals to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films along with projects such as Captain Marvel , allowing the studio to cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals. Moore's initial planning documents for the project including the swapping of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters from the comic books, with Zhao further advocating for this approach. In February 2019, Feige reiterated that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning story, with the film version spanning 7,000 years and exploring humanity's place in the cosmos.
Zhao noted that the Eternals "have lived among us for so long, the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal freedom versus greater good — all the duality and flaws that make us human". When trying to develop a story that spanned so many years, Marvel realized that the characters would likely be a family unit, with friendship that would "turn into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship". Zhao also looked to the Earth as an eleventh character in the film, chronicling its journey along side the Eternal characters. Marvel also wanted to create more ensemble films that were not crossover films, like Guardians of the Galaxy , while introducing relatively unknown characters to audiences as they did with that film's title characters and the Avengers. Game of Thrones stars have spread their wings and have made their mark in the film-making industry with their amazing talent.
We can find them regularly appearing on other popular shows and films, providing the fans with a nostalgic and warm feeling from their time on Game of Thrones. Richard Madden and Kit Harington have been cast in important roles in Marvel Cinematic Universe's upcoming movie Eternels. Their co-star Emilia Clarke will soon be joining them in a yet non-disclosed role in Marvel's Secret Invasion. Jacob Anderson has also been stirring up the internet recently with his new roles. A few weeks ago, Anderson made headlines when he joined the cast of Doctor Who in a recurring role.
This time, he is in the news for being selected as the lead for AMC's adaptation of Anne Rice's Gothic vampire novel Interview With the Vampire. THRhas reported that "one aspect to the story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fueled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans," so things might be about to get awkward between Robb Stark and Jon Snow. These set photos were shared by BRMarvelNews on Twitter, and it's looking like fans are already getting pretty excited about this upcoming comic book movie. These set photos from Eternals don't reveal much, but we should start to see more from the movie over the next few months and a trailer will likely be released before Black Widow arrives in theaters this May.
Whether any sort of first look at the cast will land before then is obviously hard to say. While Eternals hasn't even come out yet, it's easy to speculate on the future of this character based on the long history, and the ascending status of the person playing him. Harington is a big actor, and after Thrones he's only getting more famous. And as he showed in the 2005 HBO film Seven Days in Hell, he's actually funny, too; if Harington's role in Eternals is well-received, it would be a very on-brand move for the MCU to develop a solo Black Knight film or Disney+ series. At the very least, we would expect to see him pop up as a supporting character in future movies—that is, if he survives Eternals first.
The new video features an extended look at the character walking towards Gemma Chan's Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani's Kingo and Lia McHugh's Sprite. This scene was previously revealed in set photos, but at the time, Harington was not visible. Fans have only seen the star alongside Chan's Sersi, making this the first sighting of him acting alongside other Eternals. Besides the release of Black Widow this May, we're also getting Marvel's Eternals in November. The movie is currently deep into production, and some set photos give us our first look at Game of Thrones' Richard Madden as Ikaris. In January 2021, Zhao revealed that she was also a writer on the film, with Patrick Burleigh soon revealed to have worked on the script as well.
Additional filming occurred in Los Angeles in early February, also under the working title Sack Lunch. Tichenor said Zhao usually edits her own films and has "strong opinions", but on Eternals she was relying on Tichenor and Wood due to the size of the production and the ongoing awards season for Nomadland. Tichenor added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback, and were still working on the editing in April 2021.
At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film was in its "final stretch", and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the film, after previously starring in Zhao's film Songs My Brothers Taught Me . At the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, Feige officially announced The Eternals with a release date of November 6, 2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as Thena, Nanjiani as Kingo, Lee as Gilgamesh, Madden as Ikaris, and Hayek as Ajak, along with Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, and Lia McHugh as Sprite. Zhao looked for actors for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character". Feige added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character, with actor Haaz Sleiman later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film. Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film.
Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous media. Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story" and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film, while Sleiman said it was a "thoughtful" depiction. In April 2018, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced that a film based on the Eternals had begun development, with Ryan and Kaz Firpo hired to write the script in May. Zhao was set to direct the film by late September, and was given freedom to use her own style when making the film such as filming on location more than previous Marvel Studios films.
Zhao re-wrote the screenplay, which Burleigh was later revealed to have also contributed to. Starting in March 2019, a diverse cast was hired to portray the Eternals, which include the depiction of a gay superhero. Principal photography took place from July 2019 to February 2020, at Pinewood Studios as well as on location in London and Oxford, England, and in the Canary Islands. Today we have the latest set photos from the production and in them you can see Kit Harington as Dane Whitman aka Black knight, and Gemma Chan as Sersi. We know the movie will cover potentially thousands of years, but in this scene at least, the pair appear to be in a modern world with modern clothing, check it out courtesy of Marvel News. Marvel's 2020 lineup includes The Eternals which is currently under production.
A few days ago, some leaked photos from the sets of the film revealed that Game Of Thrones star Kit Harrington was shooting scenes with Gemma Chan in England. Harington was spotted in some images and clips from the set of this past weekend. Until very recently, fans had not seen the actor anywhere near production, so it's exciting to see the actor filming scenes for the upcoming project. In the comics, Sersi and Dane are part of the Avengers at the same time, and are romantically linked. A villain named Proctor shows up and drives Sersi to create a mental life bond, known as gann josin to the Eternals, with Dane. Meanwhile, Dane has started to develop feelings for his other Avengers teammate, Inhuman Crystal, which makes things awkward.
To add insult to injury, it turns out Proctor, the villain who caused Sersi mental distress in the first place, is actually an alternate universe version of Dane Whitman possessed by the Ebony Blade. And that, folks, is why you only create a mental link with committed partners and not casual romantic interests. While these photos do not directly offer any significant details about The Eternals ' storyline, they do provide hints into these two characters.
Both Harington's Dane Whitman and Chan's Sersi are wearing typical, store-bought attire. Concept art has already been released that shows Chan's Sersi in other-worldly garb, so these set photos may be showing Sersi either prior to her Eternal transformation or in-disguise in human-wear. As for Whitman, his brown jacket attire highly resembles his look on the cover of a Black Knight comic .
Remember when we last informed you of Richard madden joining the cast of Marvels' upcoming film 'Eternals'. Now we also have our hands on leaked images from the set offering the first glimpse of Richard Madden's Ikaris character. A series of new Eternals set photos offer a first look at Game of Thrones star Kit Harington in his debut Marvel Cinematic Universe role. The Eternals, Marvel's second and final movie of 2020, is still undergoing filming in the UK. While previous set pics have captured a part of the shoot involving the whole ensemble superhero team together, right now the production appears to be splitting them off in different locations.
For example, Angelina Jolie – who's playing Thena – is known to be shooting some scenes in Oxford University's Museum of Natural History. Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington will be playing Dane Whitman AKA Black Knight, and fans are getting a new glimpse at the hero in action thanks to new set photos from The Eternals. The latest trailers and featurettes for Black Widow have got fans excited about the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But it is the Eternals that is furthering that hype with nothing but cast reveals, abs reveals and set images. I am not even kidding when I say that the internet is literally going to explode the moment the trailer for this movie drops. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige on Saturday came to the D23 Expo with a surprise treat for all the GoT fans. He announced addition of Harington to the team, resulting in a mini GoT reunion. Madden, who essayed role of Snow's brother Robb Stark in the HBO series, will play Ikaris in the Marvel movie. The confirmation of the romance between Dane and Sersi comes on the heels of growing speculation that it would be featured inEternals.
The duo was recently spotted filming together and appeared to be getting very close during that set of production. What is not known is if this is the first kiss shared between the characters or potentially a final kiss goodbye if Sersi and the Eternals are leaving Earth behind. It's the latest group of set photos that feature the two characters, with another recent batch showing the two characters together before Chan's character is pulled into the sky by some stunt wire. It was in those set photos Harington can be seen donning a brown jacket, leading some to believe his live-action version of Black Knight will have the comics-accurate bomber jacket. Gemma Chan and Barry Keoghan were in talks to join the cast in August 2019.
Chan previously portrayed Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel, but reports noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate character in this film. Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for the film to cast. Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at the D23 Expo in August, in the roles of Sersi and Druig, respectively, along with Kit Harington as Dane Whitman. Chan said she and Marvel Studios were surprised by how soon after Captain Marvel her new MCU role came, with both assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.
Angelina Jolie joined the cast in March 2019, reportedly as Sersi, with Kumail Nanjiani and Don Lee cast in undisclosed roles the next month. At that time, the film was expected to feature Marvel Studios' first gay superhero. In May, Richard Madden entered negotiations for the role of Ikaris, and Salma Hayek had entered early negotiations for an undisclosed role the following month. In July, Variety reported that the cast included Jolie, Madden, and Millie Bobby Brown, but Brown denied that she had been cast. Enamored with fame, Kingo becomes a popular Bollywood film star to blend in on Earth. Nanjiani wanted his performance to combine the wisecracking attitude of John McClane from the Die Hard film series with the look of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.
He studied Errol Flynn films and some of the original Zorro films to prepare for the role. Nanjiani, who is not a dancer, found learning the Bollywood dances challenging. CountryUnited StatesLanguageEnglishBudget$200 millionEternals is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics race of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is intended to be the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . The film was directed by Chloé Zhao, who wrote the screenplay with Patrick Burleigh, Ryan Firpo, and Kaz Firpo.
It stars an ensemble cast including Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Harish Patel, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie. In the film, the Eternals, an immortal alien race, emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their evil counterparts, the Deviants. One set of pictures feature Harington's Dane Whitman and Chan's Sersi together, during what looks like an action sequence. In one picture Chan's character can be seen pulled into the sky by some stunt wire.
In the photos the Game Of Thrones actor can be seen donning a brown jacket. His outfit has sparked speculations that his character in the film will feature in a bomber jacket, just like Dane Whitman does in the Marvel Comic Books. Watching the two together in one frame also pointed towards a possible romance angle in the film. With Black Widow not too far off now as the first MCU movie of 2020, we also have the only other MCU movie of 2020 currently filming.
