Eternals - Horsing Around In LA

Marvel Studios’ Eternals

By Erin

Eternals is one of Marvel Studios’ most ambitious films to date. Eternals is on all major digital platforms now and will arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on February 15th! Marvel fans can enjoy never-before-seen bonus material including four deleted scenes and a gag reel. Eternals can also be viewed on Disney+.

The scope of the story is epic, spanning over 7,000 years on Earth and in space. Director Chloé Zhao employs a naturalistic style of location-based filmmaking, so she wanted the filming to take place at practical locations, as much as was feasibly possible. As a result, the film’s locations included multiple environments in London and the countryside U.K., as well as several different sites in the Canary Islands. This all makes for a very epic journey through time and space with a group of immortal heroes. Marvel fans can look forward to a great time falling in love with these wonderful characters, learn new MCU mythologies and explore some of the existential questions humanity has pondered since the dawn of time with Eternals.
