Eternals director Chloé Zhao has revealed that before she signed on to the 2021 superhero movie, it was not a big priority for Marvel Studios at the time.
"Eternals was not high on their priority list because it’s a quite unique IP and it [was] only on their list of potential players," admitted Zhao in an interview with The Playlist. "You know, with Marvel, it’s very much a thing to find the right filmmaker before they say, 'That’s the IP we’re gonna go for.'"
