Kevin Fiege, Marvel Studios President broke the news of the making of Eternals in April 2018. However, the film has been running behind its schedule since then. The ongoing pandemic slowed down the production process and therefore, the release date had to be pushed back multiple times. Earlier it was scheduled for November 2020 release followed by a February date in 2021. Now, it has again moved to November 2021. But the good part is it’s finally happening. Eternals is slated to release on 5th November 2021 in the USA. In India, it is hitting the theatres a week prior i.e. somewhere to 29th October.

“Sersi can manipulate matter. So inanimate, I suppose, substances or objects, she can transmute them into other things. Which is pretty useful. That's a good thing.”
