When you are going to make a film based on a comic book, you can seldom go wrong using the great Jack “King” Kirby as a blueprint to work from. Along with Stan “The Man” Lee, he has been a major architect of many of the cinema extravaganza’s that the MCU has thrived on. Now with Phase 3 of their cinematic master plan coming to a close with Avengers: End Game, they are opening up a new chapter including Kirby’s The Eternals.

In a recent interview with Collider, Marvel’s Kevin Feige explained the width and breadth of the stories their hoping to tell, using the deep tapestries laid out by Kirby.

…we like the idea of introducing an ensemble, doing an ensemble movie from the start, as opposed to building up as we did with the first Avengers. More like Guardians, not tonally, but in terms of introducing a new group of people. You were asking about ’60s, and ’70s before. Jack Kirby did an immense, amazing epic with Eternals that spans tens of thousands of years, and that’s also something we haven’t really done, which is why that among many other things post-Endgame, we find appealing.

For those fans of the Eternals, or perhaps just Jack Kirby fans, do you look forward to seeing how the Marvel creative brain trust develops the Eternals? Share your millennium spanning opinions with us at GVNations.
