Rewatch time.
Disney+ has announced that Marvel Studios’ Eternals will hit its streaming service on 12 January, 2022! If you missed its run in theaters, this is the perfect time to catch up on the MCU’s new family of immortal superheroes.
Eternals will also join the other 13 IMAX Enhanced movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe already streaming on Disney+. These IMAX Enhanced movies sport an expanded aspect ratio for a more immersive viewing experience, giving you more picture from the comfort of your own home.
Eternals follows a group of superpowered heroes from space who arrive on Earth at the beginning of civilisation. They are tasked with protecting humanity and fighting monsters known as the Deviants. In a story spanning centuries, the Eternals reunite when they discover the Deviants have resurfaced in the present day.
The movie has a pretty massive ensemble cast! Gemma Chan stars as Sersi, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Angelina Jolie as Thena and Kit Harrington as Dane Whitman.
Eternals was directed by Chloe Zhao. In our review, we said the movie, “delivers enough heroic wonder to satiate the appetite of hardcore MCU fans, but they’ll have to sit through 2.5 hours of needlessly convoluted world-building and listless pacing first.” If you’re a fan of the MCU, it’s still an entertaining watch – and might just fill the superhero vacuum on Disney+ after Hawkeye ends its run next week.
