Elizabeth Olsen Just Starred In The Rom-Com Eternity, But She Explained Why Doing One Set In The Modern Day Would Be A Challenge

Elizabeth olsen in Eternity standing with her mouth open. .

Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner just led, hands down, my favorite rom-com on the 2025 movie schedule. Their new A24 movie, Eternity, is a brilliant romance that’s set in the afterlife, giving it a fantastical and timeless feeling. So, after starring in this movie that takes place in another realm, Elizabeth Olsen explained why making a rom-com in the time we currently live in would be hard for her.

It’s also important to note that in Eternity, which again, is an afterlife rom-com, both Olsen and Teller play 90-year-old characters who recently died. However, when they appear in the afterlife, they're not senior citizens, they're 30-somethings. That's because when humans reach this place, they appear at the age they were at their happiest. So, along with playing out a story in an otherworldly setting, they were not playing their own ages.
