Marvel’s Eternals shook up both the box-office and the Marvel universe upon its release last week. The film took the top spot grossing over 171 million world wide. Now as the dust settles, the writers of the film have a unique idea for the future of the heroes. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriters Ryan and Kaz Firpo stated an Eternals prequel series for Disney+ is something they’ve considered.
Go back and do a Kingo episode in 1890s Mumbai where he is juggling his life as a movie star, dealing with Gandhi’s peaceful dissolution of the British empire in India. And there’s an episode with Thena where she’s in Greece. I would love to make that show. There are a lot of opportunities. If the audiences allow us, there’s going to be a story to tell with Dane Whitman. There’s going to be a story to tell in the Cosmos with the Eternals confronting Arishem and all the Celestials who are these incredible metaphors for creation. I think there’s a lot of stories in the Eternals universe.
“It’s an exciting time to be a storyteller,” Ryan Firpo said. “With Disney+, with movies, there are so many opportunities to tell these stories and so many different formats. It’s a really exciting time to just explore new frontiers in narrative.”
