Connected to

Angelina Jolie: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (casting): Eternals → Angelina Jolie. The Eternals cast is very starry, naming Jolie, Hayek, Henry, Chan and Nanjiani.
    “You've got Angelina Jolie, you've got Salma Hayek, you've got Brian Tyree Henry.”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:11:34 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Barry Keoghan: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Barry Keoghan → Eternals. Keoghan, now playing Ringo, is linked back through Eternals.
    “speaking of Eternals and Barry Hogan of the Beatles guys?”
    The Big Picture · The 10 Most Misused Stars in Hollywood and the Gnarly Magic of ‘Send Help’ · 0:06:52 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)

Chloe Zhao: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (director mismatch): Chloe Zhao → Eternals. Van says Zhao is a fantastic director, but a big fight between celestial beings may not suit her, as with Marvel hiring auteurs.
    “But that doesn't mean that a big fight between celestial beans is going to be her cup of tea.”
    The Big Picture · ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ Is Here! · 0:51:08 · Van Lathan (0.70 sure it was them)

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Eternals → Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Eternals let a director shoot it her way and it is called their biggest folly; Raimi gets a bit more latitude.
    “It is now perceived as their biggest folly ever.”
    Blank Check — Patreon · Marvel Nerdfest · 0:30:39 · Patrick Willems (0.50 sure it was them)

Guardians of the Galaxy: 1 line theme ×1

  1. theme (comparison): Eternals → Guardians of the Galaxy. Eternals feels like an unknown cast of space characters, like Guardians, but Guardians had one-liners as the hook.
    “Guardians feels like a very unique proposition where it was like, this is in space and we're going to introduce all this stuff, but really just come for the one liners.”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:10:52 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Harry Styles: 1 line career ×1

  1. career (career): Harry Styles → Eternals. Styles' Eternals appearance was his favorite part and only seconds long.
    “He was my favorite part of Eternals, I think.”
    The Big Picture · The 10 Most Misused Stars in Hollywood and the Gnarly Magic of ‘Send Help’ · 0:06:45 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50 sure it was them)

Kit Harington: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (casting): Eternals → Kit Harington. Kit Harington was announced as Black Knight, giving the film two Game of Thrones actors.
    “His name is Black Knight, a.k.a. Dane Whitman and he will be portrayed by Kit Harrington.”
    The Big Picture · The Future of ‘Star Wars,’ Marvel, Pixar, and Disney’s Movie Monopoly. Plus: Our Summer Movie Awards and Paul Downs Colaizzo on ‘Brittany Runs a Marathon’ | The Big Picture · 0:10:28 · Sean Fennessey (0.70 sure it was them)

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about Eternals: Zhao's style could not be removed; still obligated Marvel beats.
    “The one movie that was shot so specifically that they could not take her style out of it.”
