Makkari is the first deaf superhero in the MCU canon and played by deaf actress Ridloff. The Eternals cast will bring even more to the table.

Since the arrival of Black Panther and Captain Marvel to the MCU, the studio has gone all-in in diversifying what was once an endless sea of white heterosexual male heroes. On top of that, Kit Harington ( Game of Thrones) plays the human swordsman Dane Whitman.

Gemma Chan ( Crazy Rich Asians) plays Sersi, an empath who can manipulate matter.Here's a rundown of the star-studded cast and who they play: Once you bring aboard one A-list Oscar winner, suddenly you're casting an entire crew of people who either are at that level or have that kind of talent. If the Eternals are timeless and ageless, that meant casting some serious A-list talent. Apparently, the blip has unleashed an energy that will destroy the world if the Eternals don’t stop it, driving them to finally emerge after laying low for 7,000 years and refusing to get involved.

In fact, the details about Marvel's upcoming movie Eternals indicate it represents a swing for the fences of such immense proportions, it will be a ~marvel~ to see the company pull it off.īut then again, Marvel turned a franchise with a sweary raccoon and a monologos tree into one of the most popular trilogies in the whole pantheon.
But that doesn't mean the company is playing it safe. But with every new movie, the MCU faces the possibility of the first failure in this high-wire act. No franchise in film history has ever created a series of 20+ interconnected movies in which every single one is a box office success.
