\n John Ridley revealed that his scrapp<\/a>ed Marvel project from nearly a decade ago was actually based on the Eternals.<\/p>\n

\n The Oscar winner said during a recent appearance on the Comic Book Club<\/em>\u00a0podcast <\/a>that while the TV series<\/a> he was developing at ABC in 2015 is \u201cnot in the works anymore,\u201d it was a \u201ctelevision version of\u00a0The Eternals<\/em>, but good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n \u201cMy version or the good version was so fucking weird,\u201d Ridley recalled. \u201cThere was my version, a good version, which is good to me, which that doesn\u2019t mean anything. There was the version that [Marvel] ended up doing, which I don\u2019t think that version was particularly good. I\u2019ll be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n A few years later, Marvel Studios produced the film Eternals<\/em> in 2021, directed by Chlo\u00e9 Zhao and featured a star-studded cast including Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Kit Harington and Richard Madden. The movie followed the Eternals, immortal beings who lived on Earth and protected it from the less-evolved Deviants.<\/p>\n

\n Ridley, who won an Academy Award for best adapted screenplay for 12 Years a Slave<\/em>, proceeded to detail the pilot episode of his series, saying, \u201cMy version started with, the first thing you see is a young man, probably about 17, 18 years old. And he\u2019s sitting there. He\u2019s sitting there for a moment. And then he lifts his hands. He has a drill in it. And he turns the drill on. And he puts the drill to his ear. And he starts pushing it in. And then it goes from there. \u2026 That\u2019s how it starts. And then I think you see another kid. He sleeps in the bathtub, covers himself with foil. It\u2019s just a really weird story about these people who are, I mean, it\u2019s just weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n But the writer-director admitted his version was a \u201creally hard property [to develop].\u201d He later realized that \u201cthe best thing to happen for everybody was that it didn\u2019t happen with me, because I don\u2019t know that it would have been entertaining [for all].\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Ridley added, \u201cI do mean what\u2019s entertaining to me is often not populist, which is great for a lot of the work I do, but this needed to be a little bit more popular, it really did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n During the time that Ridley\u2019s series was in development, Marvel Television was producing other shows such as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.<\/em>, Agent Carter<\/em> and Jessica Jones<\/em>. But Marvel TV was later combined with Marvel Studios, with several shows, including the Eternals<\/em>\u00a0series, being scrapped.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
