The film didn\u2019t include any Avenger cameos or many links to the previous MCU story for casual viewers but instead focused its efforts on bringing around a dozen new characters into the Marvel story who had never been seen on screen before, and set up both a sequel and teased the future arrival of Blade in a very subtle way that will not be paid off for a few years. According to director Chloe Zhao, the film\u2019s ending, which saw some of the Eternals being stolen from Earth by the Celestial Arishem, could have been much bleaker than it was.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><\/p>\n<div class=\"adsninja-ad-zone\">\n<div id=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"dynamically-injected-refresh-ad-zone\">\n<div class=\"ad-current\">\n<div id=\"ad-zone-container-MW-Reg-Org\" class=\"ad-zone-container ad-zone-container-content-character-count-repeatable-1\" data-no-fill-collapsable=\"false\"><strong class=\"ad-zone-advertising-tag\">MOVIEWEB VIDEO OF THE DAY<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --><br \/>\n &#8220;No. I have never made a film where the ending is what I wrote! You find it in the edit,&#8221; Zhao explained in an interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.empireonline.com\/movies\/features\/eternals-spoiler-special-chloe-zhao-on-power-death-dogma-and-harry-styles\/\">Empire<\/a>. &#8220;Editing is a third of the filmmaking process, and when you show it to people, that&#8217;s when you find the ending. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve made a single film where the opening and ending stay the same as the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>, just because the scenes are fluid as we shoot. And we actually had another ending that is really bleak. Bleak. I didn&#8217;t hate it, because I&#8217;m used to films that are more melancholy. But I don&#8217;t think it went down well with audiences. It used to end with everybody back on the ship, minds erased and just going on to another planet, like <em>The Twilight Zone<\/em>. I remember when it goes to black, everyone was like, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know what to do.&#8217; And also, it&#8217;s the MCU, and you want to be excited for what&#8217;s next.&#8221;<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #2! --><br \/>\n While the ending of<em> Eternals, <\/em>with its post credit scenes that introduced Harry Styles as Starfox and teased Kit Harington\u2019s upcoming role as Black Knight, certainly keeps Marvel fans coming back for more in future, it is hard to see how a bleaker ending would have really hurt the movie, except perhaps we don\u2019t know the characters well enough for something like that to pay off just yet. After all, the only time many people have left a cinema in complete shocked silence was after <em>Avengers: Infinity War,<\/em> when many struggled to take on board that for one of the only times in comic book movie history the bad guy actually won, so when it comes to bleak, that, combined with the death of Iron Man in <em>Avengers: End<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a><\/em> maybe suggested that it was perhaps a bit too soon to have another dark ending for a group of relative strangers.<br \/>\n<!-- Zone: character count repeatable. --><br \/>\n<!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #3! --><br \/>\n Speaking to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/torontosun.com\/entertainment\/movies\/marvels-eternals-secrets-from-the-set-of-ambitious-mcu-blockbuster\">The Toronto Sun<\/a>, <em>Eternals<\/em> producer Nate Moore sort of explained why Zhao\u2019s original ending might have been considered, revealing that there was not necessarily a direct link to a sequel being planned for the film. &#8220;It&#8217;s not something that is a must-have Obviously, we have ideas of where we could go, but there isn&#8217;t a hard and fast rule where we have to have three of these things and this is the first,&#8221; he explained. <\/p>\n<p> We know now that the <em>Eternals <\/em>will return again, but when and how that happens is something we will need to wait a while to discover with a packed Marvel schedule of films taking us through to well into 2023 and plenty of contenders for 2024\u2019s slate already in the works. <\/p>\n<p>        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/yCXumAyZTFaI75NDiw9T3gPG5e4eod.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/article\/yCXumAyZTFaI75NDiw9T3gPG5e4eod.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1757\" height=\"925\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Chloe Zhao Addresses Why the Eternals Didn't Fight Thanos\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            <strong><span class=\"next-btn-text-title\">Chloe Zhao Addresses Why the Eternals Didn&#8217;t Fight Thanos<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"next-btn-text-p\">One of the biggest questions that Marvel fans want answered has been answered by Eternals director Chloe Zhao.\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    <strong class=\"section-sub-title\">About The Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-img\">\n<p>                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/authors\/61982f36234db-IMG_4718.jpg?fit=crop&amp;w=100&amp;h=100\" class=\"lazyload\"\/>\n                            <\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Anthony Lund<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(1363 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"bio-desc\">\n                Anthony Lund is an author, songwriter and puppeteer from a small village in the U.K. with an avid love of all genres of TV and film.
