In a recent interview on Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum, actor Kumail Nanjiani spoke candidly about the emotional toll of promoting a movie that received harsh reviews. Nanjiani revealed that after completing the press circuit for Marvel's Eternals in 2021, he ended up seeking counseling due to the negative reception of the film.
The reviews for Eternals were far from favorable, with the movie currently holding a 47 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This made it one of the lowest-rated entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Nanjiani admitted that it was exceptionally challenging because Marvel had high expectations for the film's reception. They even lifted the embargo early and sent the cast on a global tour to promote the movie right as the negative reviews were pouring in.
