yeah. covid affected production a lot.. like we saw what happened with marvel shows. (delays and changes) even with Shang-chi.. it needed more time for cgi works.

Next Big Thing: ‘Eternals’ Star Lauren Ridloff on Becoming Marvel’s First Deaf Superhero What was the audition process like for The Eternals and Makkari? I didn’t audition for the role of Makkari. I was tapped, you could say. I was called for a sit-down meeting with Chloé and [producer] Nate Moore about a new untitled Marvel project. During that meeting, they introduced The Eternals to me and tried to capture the story and the people that make up the Eternals. The conversation shifted to Makkari, who Makkari was in the comics and would be in the film, but it was all broad strokes. Chloé wanted to know who I was, so we spent some time talking about my upbringing, my interests, my passions. I told Chloé my passions: reading, running, the arts. They weren’t committing to anything specific during the meeting. I wasn’t sure what was going on — it felt like just a conversation, more along the lines of “Hey, what do you like? Who are you? We’re interested in you, maybe, for this film. Do you know anything about Eternals? Makkari? We have ideas … and here are our ideas.” I did not know much about Makkari or Jack Kirby’s Eternals before meeting with Chloé and Nate. After the meeting, I went down The Eternals rabbit hole and read as much as I could, both Jack Kirby’s version and Neil Gaiman’s version. The next time we connected, it was to offer me the role of Makkari! How much did you get to collaborate with director Chloé Zhao on shaping your character on screen? Were any changes made from script to final cut? It was such an honor to work with Chloé Zhao. When I started working with her, I thought one of her talents truly is interacting with people who are not professional actors. She has a lot of patience and willingness to work just to get the best performance possible. We definitely talked about Makkari and her relationship with the other characters and how she interacts with the other characters, who she’s been with for thousands and thousands of years. So, whether she would use American Sign Language or some form of another sign language. We did talk about how Makkari’s powers work with her deafness. So, if there were any changes that were made from the script to the final cut, yes, definitely, there were a lot of changes. The final cut is so different. It’s so funny because the cast actually had a hard time before we actually saw the movie agreeing on what exactly the story was going to end up being. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/lauren-ridloff-eternals-marvel-deaf-superhero-1235025797/

“What makes them different from other groups we’ve had, including the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy, is that they can pool their energy and create something called the Uni-Mind.” “The Uni-Mind is a concept that was borrowed from Jack Kirby’s run in 1976. It allows the Eternals to amplify the power of any single Eternal. However, they all have to be somewhat connected to do so. So, they can’t be on opposite sides of the world and create a Uni-Mind. They have to be in proximity with each other. It is an amplification device, but it does require the power of all the Eternals together.” https://thedirect.com/article/mcu-eternals-avengers-superpower-uni-mind

“It's structured in style like The Godfather Part Two; there's a past storyline and the present storyline,” reveals Nate Moore, Producer at Marvel Studios. He estimates that 60% of the film is set in the modern day, with the remaining 40% exploring a multitude of eras. As Moore describes Eternals’ many eras he namechecks the Gupta Empire in 200 AD, the fall of the Aztec Empire, and the Amazon circa 1500 AD, the latter of which is also revisited in the present day. There’s also Mesopotamia and its famous city of Babylon, a chunk of which was built on a Pinewood soundstage. During its present-day segments London appears to be a key location, as it’s where two Eternals have made their home living among humans; Sprite and Sersi. ... “[Director Chloé Zhao’s] brief was that everybody had to be natural,” explains Frances Hannon, Hair and Makeup Designer on Eternals. “She didn’t want a superhero look. She wants them to be accessible to every age and everybody.” ... “The Deviants in the comics are called the changing people, and no two look the same,” says Moore. “So in our film, no two Deviants will look the same. When they kill off a predator in the film, they take the shape of that predator. So there's a bat-like Deviant, there's a wolf-like Deviant, there's even Deviants that look like all sorts of creatures from myth and legend and history.” One of them, though, looks like earth’s greatest apex predator: humanity. Its name is Kro. “He is the leader of the Deviants,” reveals Moore. “He is the most intelligent of the Deviants. He is the only one who can speak, and that evolution will be one of the mysteries the Eternals have to uncover. Why is he able to do this? Why does he look humanoid when all the other Deviants, to some degree, are monstrous?” ... Moore describes it as a “hard sci-fi”, and notes that director Chloé Zhao references Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel Prometheus a lot. “Even though the movie is about these immortal aliens, thematically it is about humanity and what it means to be human,” Moore says, linking Eternals to Prometheus’ philosophical questions. “And are we stewards of our Earth? Or is that somebody else's problem? Even though these characters are not human, that's what the movie wants to tackle.” ... But while Gaiman’s work is considered a must-read in the Marvel canon, the MCU is going back to where it all began for the movie version: Jack Kirby’s stories from 1976. The decision behind this is simple. “The Gaiman run was very much about people who didn't realize they were special,” explains Moore. “And then Ikaris coming and saying ‘Hey, guess what, you guys are immortals and your memories have been erased.’ That’s pretty cool, but it’s also the plot of Harry Potter, and I Am Number Four, and The Matrix, and a lot of movies like that. “We thought it would be more interesting to spend the time with characters who knew exactly who they were,” Moore continues. “And to track those characters through what will be 7,000 years of human history.” ... “She's pushed us as a filmmaker to make Eternals feel aesthetically different than any other Marvel movie,” explains Moore. “She likes to shoot in a lot of natural locations with natural light. So this film, of any Marvel films, has shot outside exteriors more than anything else. I think it's lent it a look unlike anything we've ever done.” https://www.ign.com/articles/marvels-eternals-set-visit I picked some interesting parts from full article
