The first film produced by the studio, ''[[Open Season (2006 film)|Open Season]]'', was released on September 29, 2006, and their most recent film was ''[[Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse]]'' on June 2, 2023; their upcoming slate of films includes ''[[Fixed (film)|Fixed]]'' and ''Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse'' on unspecified dates.

==History==
In 2001, [[Sony Pictures]] considered selling off its visual effects facility [[Sony Pictures Imageworks]] but after failing to find a suitable buyer, having been impressed with the [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] sequences of ''[[Stuart Little 2]]'' and seeing the box office successes of [[DreamWorks Animation]]'s ''[[Shrek]]'' and [[Walt Disney Pictures|Disney]]/[[Pixar]]'s ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', SPI was reconfigured to become an animation studio. ''[[Astro Boy (film)|Astro Boy]]'', which had been in development at Sony since 1997 as a live-action film, was set to be SPI's first all-CGI film, but never made it to fruition.<ref>{{cite news|last=Brodesser|first=Claude|title=Sony finds Rx for its f/x|url=https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117856983|access-date=September 1, 2011|newspaper=Variety|date=December 9, 2001}}</ref> On May 9, 2002, Sony Pictures Animation was established to develop characters, stories and movies with SPI taking over the digital production while maintaining its visual effects production.<ref>{{Cite press release|title=Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment Establishes Feature Animation Unit; Animation Executives Sandra Rabins and Penney Finkelman Cox Named to Top Posts|date=May 9, 2002|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sony-pictures-digital-entertainment-establishes-feature-animation-unit-animation-executives-sandra-rabins-and-penney-finkelman-cox-named-to-top-posts-77355402.html|access-date=August 1, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014194427/http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/sony-pictures-digital-entertainment-establishes-feature-animation-unit-animation-executives-sandra-rabins-and-penney-finkelman-cox-named-to-top-posts-77355402.html|archive-date=October 14, 2012}}</ref> Meanwhile, SPI produced two short films, the [[Academy Award]]-winning ''[[The ChubbChubbs!]]'' and ''[[Early Bloomer]]'', as a result of testing its strengths and weaknesses in producing all-CGI animation.<ref>{{cite web|last=Raugust|first=Karen|date=May 30, 2006|title=The Value of Shorts|url=http://www.awn.com/articles/value-shorts/page/2%2C1|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121017044543/http://www.awn.com/articles/value-shorts/page/2%2C1|archive-date=October 17, 2012|access-date=July 22, 2011|work=[[Animation World Network]]}}</ref>

On May 27, 2014, it was announced that [[Netflix]] had acquired streaming rights to films produced by Sony Pictures Animation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Szalai |first=Georg |date=May 27, 2014 |title=Netflix Gets Rights to Sony Animation Films |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/netflix-gets-rights-sony-animation-707134/ |access-date=April 18, 2023 |website=The Hollywood Reporter |language=en-US}}</ref>

On November 3, 2014, the studio collaborated with [[Frederator Studios]]' [[Cartoon Hangover]] on ''[[GO! Cartoons]]'', an incubator series consisting of 12 short films, with at least one short film being developed into a series. The short films were funded by SPA, with the additional goal of attracting new talent for the studio.<ref>{{cite news|last=Milligan|first=Mercedes|title=Sony Partners with Cartoon Hangover to Find New Talent|url=http://www.animationmagazine.net/events/sony-partners-with-cartoon-hangover-to-find-new-talent/|access-date=November 4, 2014 |work=Animation Magazine|date=November 3, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animationmagazine.net/top-stories/sony-animation-cartoon-hangover-launch-1st-incubator-film-the-summoning/|title=Sony Animation & Cartoon Hangover Launch 1st Incubator Film 'The Summoning'|work=Animation Magazine|date=November 7, 2017|last1=Milligan|first1=Mercedes|access-date=November 28, 2017}}</ref>

In June 2019, Sony Pictures Animation announced that they had launched an "International" division headed by [[Aron Warner]] at the 2019 [[Annecy International Animated Film Festival]], with ''[[Wish Dragon]]'' set to be the division's first film. The same day, they also announced an "Alternative" division aimed at producing [[Adult animation|adult animated]] content, headed by Katie Baron and Kevin Noel. In addition to Tartakovsky's films ''Black Knight'' and ''[[Fixed (film)|Fixed]]'', the division's TV shows are set to include ''[[The Boondocks (canceled TV series)|The Boondocks]]'', a reboot of the [[The Boondocks (2005 TV series)|original TV series]] that originally aired on [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Adult Swim]] programming block from 2005 to 2014; ''Superbago'', a co-production with [[Stoopid Buddy Stoodios]] that was originally greenlit as a feature film; and ''Hungry Ghosts'', a series based on the [[Dark Horse Comics|Dark Horse]] graphic novel by [[Anthony Bourdain]] and [[Joel Rose]].<ref name="SPAVariety2">{{cite news |last1=Hopewell |first1=John |title=Sony Pictures Animation Links to Tencent, Sets New 'Boondocks,' Tartakovsky Duo |url=https://variety.com/2019/film/news/sony-pictures-animation-tencent-boondocks-tartakovsky-annecy-animation-festival-2019-1203240529/ |access-date=June 7, 2020 |work=Variety |date=June 12, 2019 |language=en}}</ref> They had previously announced their plans to produce adult content at the 2017 Annecy festival.<ref name="SPAVariety" />

According to [[Kristine Belson]], president of SPA, the studio produces films on a 1:1 development-to-production ratio, meaning that the studio puts films into development as much as it places films in production, unlike other animation studios.<ref name="SPAVariety" />

In April 2021, Disney and [[Sony Pictures]] reached a multi-year deal to let Sony's titles (such as films from the ''[[Spider-Man in film|Spider-Man]]'', ''[[Jumanji (franchise)|Jumanji]]'', ''[[Hotel Transylvania]]'', ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' franchises, and other films made by Sony Pictures Animation, etc, and anime licensed by [[Funimation]]/[[Crunchyroll]] like ''[[Attack on Titan (TV series)|Attack on Titan]]'' and ''[[Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV series)|Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works]]'') to stream on [[Hulu]] and [[Disney+]].

==Process==
In a similar fashion to [[Warner Bros. Pictures Animation]] and [[Paramount Animation]], the studio outsources their films to other animation companies and visual effects studios, with the majority of their films being animated by sister company [[Sony Pictures Imageworks]]. Some films, such as ''[[Arthur Christmas]]'' and ''[[The Pirates! Band of Misfits]]'' were acquired by Sony Pictures Animation to be released under their banner while others, such as ''[[Goosebumps (film)|Goosebumps]]'' and ''[[Peter Rabbit (film)|Peter Rabbit]]'', were made with no involvement from the studio.

While visiting Hope's parents, [[Hank Pym (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Hank Pym]] and [[Janet van Dyne (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Janet van Dyne]], Cassie reveals that she has been working on a device that can establish contact with the [[Quantum Realm]]. Upon learning of this, Janet panics and forcefully shuts off the device, but the message is received, resulting in a portal that opens and sucks the five of them into the Quantum Realm. Scott and Cassie are found by natives who are rebelling against their ruler, while Hope, Janet, and Hank explore a sprawling city to get answers.

Hope, Janet, and Hank meet with [[Lord Krylar]], a former ally of Janet's, who reveals that things have changed since she left,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp]]'' (2018)}} and that he is now working for [[Kang the Conqueror (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kang]], the Quantum Realm's new ruler. The three are forced to flee and steal Krylar's ship. The Langs, meanwhile, are told by rebel leader [[Jentorra]] that Janet's involvement with Kang is indirectly responsible for his rise to power. The rebels soon come under attack by Kang's forces led by [[M.O.D.O.K. (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|M.O.D.O.K.]], who is revealed to be [[Darren Cross (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Darren Cross]], having survived his apparent death at the hands of Scott,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'' (2015)}} and who previously received Cassie's message. Aboard Krylar's ship, Janet confesses to Hope and Hank that she met Kang when she was previously in the Quantum Realm. He claimed that he and Janet could both escape from the Quantum Realm if she helped him rebuild his [[Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|multiversal]] power core. After they managed to repair it, Janet saw a vision of Kang conquering and destroying entire timelines. Kang revealed he was exiled by his variants out of fear, which drove Janet to turn against him. Outmatched, Janet used her Pym Particles to enlarge the power core beyond use. Kang, having regained his powers, eventually conquered the Quantum Realm afterward.

The Langs are taken to Kang, who demands that Scott help get his power core back or else he will kill Cassie. Scott is then taken to the core's location and shrinks down. In the core, he encounters a probability storm, which causes him to split into multiple copies of himself nearly overwhelming him, but Hope arrives and helps him acquire the power core. However, Kang reneges on the deal, capturing Janet with M.O.D.O.K. destroying her ship with Hank on it. After being rescued by his ants, who rapidly evolved and became hyper-intelligent after being pulled into the Quantum Realm, Hank helps Scott and Hope as they make their way to Kang. Cassie rescues Jentorra and they commence an uprising against Kang and his army. During the fight, Cassie convinces Cross to switch sides and fight Kang, with him eventually sacrificing his life.

Janet fixes the power core as she, Hank, Hope, and Cassie jump through a portal home. Kang attacks Scott at the last minute. Before he can beat Scott into submission, Hope returns, and she and Scott throw Kang and the Pym Particles into the power core, destroying them both. Cassie reopens the portal for Scott and Hope to return home. As Scott happily resumes his life, he begins to rethink what he was told about Kang's death being the start of something terrible happening, but brushes it off. In a [[Post-credits scene|mid-credits scene]], [[Council of Kangs (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|numerous variants of Kang]], led by [[Immortus (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Immortus]], commiserate Kang's death and plan their multiversal uprising. In a post-credits scene, [[Loki (Marvel Cinematic Universe)#2012 variant|Loki]] and [[Mobius M. Mobius (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Mobius M. Mobius]] encounter another Kang variant, [[Victor Timely (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Victor Timely]], at the [[World's Columbian Exposition|Chicago World's Fair]] in 1893.{{efn|As depicted in the [[Loki season 2|''Loki'' season 2]] episode "[[1893 (Loki)|1893]]" (2023)<ref name="LokiS2Ep3Polygon" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3Collider" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3ScreenRant" />}}

* [[Evangeline Lilly]] as [[Hope van Dyne|Hope van Dyne / Wasp]]: The daughter of Hank Pym and Janet van Dyne who is handed down a similar suit and the Wasp mantle from her mother.<ref name="VarietyReedAM3" /> She serves as the head of the [[Pym van Dyne Foundation]], which uses the Pym Particles for humanitarian efforts.<ref name="WaspPymFoundation" /> Lilly said the film would explore how the character deals with her "fragilities and her vulnerabilities", continuing from how ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp]]'' (2018) showed how powerful and capable she was.<ref name="SDCC2022EW" />
* [[Jonathan Majors]] as [[Kang the Conqueror (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kang the Conqueror]]: A "time-traveling, multiversal adversary" trapped in the [[Quantum Realm]] who needs Pym Particles to get his ship and a device online that would allow him to go anywhere and when in time.<ref name="LokiHeWhoRemains" /><ref name="ReedEmpireNov2022" /><ref name="MajorsEmpireJan2023" /> Kang is an alternate-timeline variant of the character [[He Who Remains (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|He Who Remains]], the creator of the [[Time Variance Authority (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Time Variance Authority]] (TVA), who was introduced in the finale of [[Loki season 1|first season]] of ''[[Loki (TV series)|Loki]]'' (2021).<ref name="LokiHeWhoRemains" /> Kang was described by ''Loki'' season one [[head writer]] [[Michael Waldron]] as the "next big cross-movie villain" for the MCU,<ref name="LokiHeWhoRemains" /> while ''Quantumania'' writer [[Jeff Loveness]] described Kang as a "top-tier, A-list Avengers villain".<ref name="LovenessKangView" /> Majors said Kang is different from He Who Remains, who is not in ''Quantumania'', with a shifted psychology, portraying Kang differently from He Who Remains due to the different characters surrounding him and transitioning from a series to a film.<ref name="MajorsOct2021" /> He was attracted to Kang's "character and dimensions" and the potential that presented to him as an actor, noting Kang would be a different type of villain to the MCU than [[Erik Killmonger (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Erik Killmonger]] and Thanos were,<ref name="MajorsMensHealth" /> as well as the possibility of playing a complex villain about whom everyone has to be careful, akin to [[Iago]] in [[William Shakespeare]]'s tragedy ''[[Othello]]''.<ref name="ReedEWDec2022" /> Loveness wanted to focus on Kang as a human being by exploring his humanity and vulnerability as a "very lonely" character before he reaches "apocalyptic, Avengers-scale heights". He contrasted this to Thanos by not creating him entirely from [[computer-generated imagery]], and said Kang would be "Thanos on an exponential level".<ref name="LovenessKangView" /> He also said that because the concept of time travel had already been explored in ''Endgame'', he had to broaden his approach to Kang to focus more on the [[Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|multiverse]], his dimensionality, and his "limitless freedom" from his time, and how different versions of the character would destroy it and make it their own.<ref name="LovenessKangEndgame" /> Loveness researched the different versions of Kang from the comics such as [[Rama-Tut]] and the [[Scarlet Centurion]] and described him as an "infinite snake eating infinite tails" in being "a man literally at war against himself".<ref name="LovenessKangEndgame2" /> Director [[Peyton Reed]] likened the character to [[Alexander the Great]] as a reference point for Majors,<ref name="MajorsEmpireJan2023" /> who also found inspiration in [[Genghis Khan]] and [[Julius Caesar]]. Majors said that Kang would be the "supervillain of supervillains" and looked to contrast [[Tony Stark (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Tony Stark / Iron Man]], who he called the "superhero of superheroes".<ref name="MajorsFurtherInspirations" /> Majors added {{convert|10|lb|kg}} of muscle for the role, focusing on strength and conditioning training.<ref name="MajorsMensHealth" /> Reed said ''Quantumania'' would show a "different flavor" of Majors's approach to Kang's alternate versions and explained that Kang "has dominion over time", calling him a warrior, strategist, and "all-timer antagonist" compared to the antagonists of the prior ''Ant-Man'' films as a "force of nature",<ref name="EmpireNov2022" /> one that adds "tonal diversity, real conflict and real friction".<ref name="MajorsEmpireJan2023" /> Given his work with time, Kang does not live a linear life.<ref name="ReedEWDec2022" />
** Majors also portrays numerous Kang variants within the [[Council of Kangs (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Council of Kangs]] including [[Immortus (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Immortus]], [[Rama-Tut (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Rama-Tut]], and [[Centurion (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Centurion]] in the mid-credits scene, as well as the variant [[Victor Timely (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Victor Timely]] in the post-credits scene.<ref name="IndieWirePostCredits" /><ref name="THRPostCredits" />
* [[Kathryn Newton]] as [[Cassie Lang (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Cassie Lang]]: Scott Lang's 18-year-old daughter who acquires a suit similar to her father's.<ref name="SDCC2022Variety" /><ref name="CassieAge" /> She is scientifically inclined, and gains an interest in Pym's old notes and learning more about the science and technology from the Quantum Realm. Reed said that he wanted to further develop the relationship between Cassie and Scott, as it was central to the previous ''Ant-Man'' films.<ref name="ReedEWDec2022" /> The character was previously portrayed as a child by [[Abby Ryder Fortson]] in the previous ''Ant-Man'' films and as a teenager by [[Emma Fuhrmann]] in ''Endgame''.<ref name="DisneyInvestorDay" />
* [[David Dastmalchian]] as Veb: A slime-like creature that lives in the Quantum Realm whose ooze can make anyone understand Quantum Realm language. Dastmalchian previously portrayed [[Kurt (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kurt]] in the first two ''Ant-Man'' films.<ref name="Jan2023CastConfirmations" />
* [[Katy O'Brian]] as [[Jentorra]]: The human-shaped leader of the Freedom Fighters rebelling against Kang's oppression of the communities in the Quantum Realm.<ref name="HarperEmpire" /><ref name="JentorraCBR" /> O'Brian auditioned for the role, despite previously working with Reed on the ''[[Star Wars]]'' series ''[[The Mandalorian]]'', and originally believed she was auditioning for ''[[The Marvels]]'' (2023). Despite the character appearing in the comics, O'Brian was encouraged to create the character as she chose.<ref name="OBriansInverse" /> O'Brian previously appeared as Kimball in the [[Marvel Television]] series ''[[Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]''<ref name="Kimball" />
* [[William Jackson Harper]] as Quaz: A humanoid telepath who lives in the Quantum Realm.<ref name="HarperEmpire" />
* [[Bill Murray]] as [[Lord Krylar]]: The human-shaped governor of the lavish Axia community in the Quantum Realm,<ref name="MurrayKrylar" /> who has a history with Janet van Dyne in the Quantum Realm.<ref name="VarietyTrailer" /><ref name="MurrayVillain" /> Reed believed Murray's character represented a person's past "always find[ing] a way to show up again" and the film's theme of secrets between family members and how they are each affected by them.<ref name="ReedEWDec2022" />
* [[Michelle Pfeiffer]] as [[Janet van Dyne (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Janet Van Dyne / Wasp]]: Pym's wife, Hope's mother, and the original Wasp, who was lost in the Quantum Realm for 30 years.<ref name="PfeifferReturn" />
* [[Corey Stoll]] as [[Darren Cross (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Darren Cross / M.O.D.O.K.]]: Pym's former protégé who was shrunken to subatomic size in the Quantum Realm during the events of ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'' (2015) and became a mutated, cybernetically enhanced individual with an oversized head known as [[M.O.D.O.K. (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|M.O.D.O.K.]]<ref name="StollMODOK" /><ref name="SDCC2022Variety" /><ref name="MODOKYellowjacket" /> Loveness described the character as a cross between [[Kevin Kline]]'s Otto West from ''[[A Fish Called Wanda]]'' (1988) and [[Frank Grimes (Simpsons Character)|Frank Grimes]] from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' [[The Simpsons season 8|season eight]] episode "[[Homer's Enemy]]" (1997). Loveness felt M.O.D.O.K. to be his favorite character in the film because they put a "little extra" on him, and said M.O.D.O.K.'s ego would be crumbled throughout the film whenever he is challenged, but like Otto West, easily kills as a "real loose cannon".<ref name="LovenessMODOKInspirations" />
* [[Michael Douglas]] as Dr. [[Hank Pym (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Hank Pym / Ant-Man]]: A former [[S.H.I.E.L.D. (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|S.H.I.E.L.D.]] agent, entomologist, and physicist who became the original Ant-Man after creating the suit.<ref name="VarietyReedAM3" /> In the film, Pym was written to be more "relaxed" than in previous MCU appearances, as he is more focused on reacquainting with Janet than his work. As a result, Broussard described Pym as "a little more sure of himself" and "not looking around every corner". Loveness believed that Pym's fascination with ants, a trait only comically referenced previously, was a critical hallmark of the character, and thus decided to expand on it in the film. Broussard felt the expansion was "a weird thing ... but also awesome ... a bit of an acknowledgment of ... a weird obsession for this guy who's totally owned it."<ref name="PymAnts" />


Additionally, [[Randall Park]] briefly reprises his role as [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent [[Jimmy Woo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Jimmy Woo]] from previous MCU media,<ref name="Park" /> along with [[Gregg Turkington]] as [[Baskin-Robbins]] store manager Dale from ''Ant-Man''.<ref name="Turkington" /> [[Ruben Rabasa]] appears as a coffee shop attendant who mistakes Ant-Man for [[Peter Parker (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Spider-Man]].<ref name="VarietyTrailer" /> A man asking Lang for a picture with his dog is played by [[Mark Oliver Everett]], frontman of the rock band [[Eels (band)|Eels]], whose father was quantum physicist [[Hugh Everett III]] and the originator of the [[many-worlds interpretation]] of [[Quantum mechanics|quantum theory]].<ref name="EverettCameo" /> [[Roger Craig Smith]] and [[Matthew Wood (sound editor)|Matthew Wood]] voice the Quantumnauts, the foot soldiers of Kang.<ref name="QuantumnautsVoices" /> The film's [[post-credits scene]] features uncredited [[cameo appearance]]s by [[Tom Hiddleston]] and [[Owen Wilson]], reprising their respective roles as [[Loki (Marvel Cinematic Universe)#2012 variant|Loki]] and [[Mobius M. Mobius (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Mobius M. Mobius]] from ''Loki''.<ref name="IndieWirePostCredits" />

== Production ==
=== Development ===
Ahead of the release of ''[[Ant-Man and the Wasp]]'' (2018), director [[Peyton Reed]] said there were elements of that film that leave "a lot to play with" in a potential third film in the franchise. He highlighted the [[Quantum Realm]], which was introduced in ''[[Ant-Man (film)|Ant-Man]]'' (2015) and explored further in ''Ant-Man and the Wasp''; Reed said they were "just dipping our toes into it" for the previous films.<ref name="ReedQRJul2018" /> Reed added that he and [[Marvel Studios]] were hopeful about a third film and had discussed potential story points for such a sequel.<ref name="ReedTHRJul2018" /> In February 2019, [[Hank Pym (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Hank Pym]] actor [[Michael Douglas]] confirmed that informal discussions regarding a sequel to ''Ant-Man and the Wasp'' had taken place,<ref name="DouglasFuture" /> though by that time [[Evangeline Lilly]] had not heard of any plans for her character [[Hope van Dyne|Hope van Dyne / Wasp]] following her role in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019). Lilly stated that "Hope is mid-journey. I don't see her journey as being over by any stretch."<ref name="LillyFeb2019" /> That October, [[Michelle Pfeiffer]] expressed interest in reprising her role of [[Janet van Dyne (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Janet van Dyne]] in a sequel,<ref name="PfeifferOct2019" /> while Marvel Studios president [[Kevin Feige]] was asked about the future of [[Paul Rudd]]'s [[Scott Lang (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Scott Lang / Ant-Man]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU) following ''Endgame'', and responded that "the chess pieces were arranged very purposefully" at the end of that film, with some taken "off the board" and others, like Ant-Man, "still on [the board, so] you never know".<ref name="RuddFuture" /> Rudd was asked whether he would be returning to the role, either in a third ''Ant-Man'' film or as part of another hero's MCU franchise, and said that both of those options had been discussed.<ref name="RuddOct2019" />

Reed officially signed on to direct a third ''Ant-Man'' film at the start of November 2019. Rudd was set to star as Lang,<ref name="THRReedAM3" /> with Lilly and Douglas also returning.<ref name="VarietyReedAM3" /> Filming was scheduled to begin in January 2021 with a likely release date in 2022.<ref name="January2021FilmingDouglas" /><ref name="THRReedAM3" /> Reed was hired again, despite Marvel's interest in new filmmakers bringing different takes to their heroes for each film, because executives felt he had "a real grasp on the ''Ant-Man'' universe and want[ed] to see him return to wrap up his trilogy".<ref name="VarietyReedAM3" /> [[Jeff Loveness]] was hired to write the script for the film during "the early days of Hollywood's shutdown" due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], and he had begun working on the screenplay by April 2020. At that point, it was no longer clear when production would begin on the film due to the effects of the pandemic on all film productions.<ref name="Loveness" /> In August 2020, Reed confirmed that development on the film was continuing during the pandemic. He said that Lilly would continue to get equal billing in the film alongside Rudd as she is "a very, very important part" of the partnership between Ant-Man and the Wasp, despite rumors that her role would be reduced following controversial comments about the pandemic. Reed added that the story for the film had been "cracked", though "nothing [was] official yet",<ref name="YahooReedAM3" /> and said the third film would be a "bigger, more sprawling movie than the first two [with] a very different visual template".<ref name="ReedColliderAug2020" /> Reed stated they wanted to further explore the Quantum Realm in the film as a "massive [[Worldbuilding|world-building]] undertaking", and compared its design to [[electron microscope]] photography, the ''[[Heavy Metal (magazine)|Heavy Metal]]'' magazine issues of the 1970s and 1980s and his favorite [[science fiction]] cover artists such as [[Jean Giraud]] for fantastical [[Realism (arts)|realism]].<ref name="ReedEmpireNov2022" /> Marvel Studios producer [[Brian Gay (executive)|Brian Gay]] said the film would "feel like a real departure" from the first two ''Ant-Man'' films and be a big adventure.<ref name="GayDeparture" /> Fellow Marvel Studios executive [[Stephen Broussard]] produced the film alongside Feige.<ref name="DeadlineTrailer" />

=== Pre-production ===
In September 2020, [[Jonathan Majors]] was cast in a "lead role" for the film, which was reported to be [[Kang the Conqueror (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kang the Conqueror]].<ref name="MajorsCast" /> Because the actor cast as Kang would first portray an alternate version of the character, named [[He Who Remains (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|He Who Remains]], in the [[Disney+]] series ''[[Loki (TV series)|Loki]]'', [[Kate Herron]] and [[Michael Waldron]]—the director and [[head writer]] of ''Loki''{{'}}s [[Loki season 1|first season]], respectively—were involved in casting Majors in addition to Reed and executives at Marvel Studios;<ref name="MajorsLoki" /><ref name="LokiHeWhoRemains" /> Marvel Studios were eager to work with and cast Majors after seeing his performance in ''[[The Last Black Man in San Francisco]]'' (2019), with Reed very supportive of approaching Majors.<ref name="FeigeFeb2023" /> Majors was approached for the role without an audition,<ref name="MajorsNoAudition" /> and later noted he had been involved in the film "since the beginning" before joining ''Loki''.<ref name="MajorsOct2021" /> Reed was interested in having Ant-Man and the Wasp go up against a formidable foe in the film, believing Kang to be one of Marvel Comics' "all-timers" like [[Loki (Marvel Comics)|Loki]] and [[Doctor Doom]].<ref name="ReedEWDec2022" />

In November 2020, filming was expected to start in 2021.<ref name="THR2021Filming" /> The following month, Pfeiffer confirmed her involvement and that filming would begin in mid-2021,<ref name="PfeifferReturn" /> while she and Douglas both indicated that the film would be released in 2022.<ref name="Pfeiffer2022Release" /><ref name="Douglas2022Release" /> Later in December at Disney's Investor Day, Feige revealed the film's title as ''Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'', confirmed the return of Rudd, Lilly, Douglas and Pfeiffer, alongside Majors as Kang, and revealed that [[Kathryn Newton]] had joined the film as [[Cassie Lang (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Cassie Lang]].<ref name="DisneyInvestorDay" /> Newton originally auditioned for the role of [[Kate Bishop (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kate Bishop]] in the Disney+ miniseries ''[[Hawkeye (miniseries)|Hawkeye]]'' (2021), before [[Hailee Steinfeld]] was cast as the character.<ref name="NewtonHawkeyeAudition" /> [[Emma Fuhrmann]], who played the character as a teenager in ''Avengers: Endgame'', was saddened by the announcement of Newton taking over the role, and hoped to be involved in the MCU in the future.<ref name="FuhrmannResponse" /> Later that month, Loveness revealed that he had turned in the first draft of the script, and said Marvel had used the COVID-19 pandemic break to "do something new and weird" with the film.<ref name="LovenessDec2020" /> Loveness was inspired by several "father and daughter" films starring [[Steve Martin]] or [[Robin Williams]] from the 1990s, like ''[[Father of the Bride (1991 film)|Father of the Bride]]'', ''[[Hook (film)|Hook]]'' (both 1991) and ''[[Jumanji]]'' (1995), with Loveness feeling that because he admired all those father characters, he could mix the "underdog dad" hero energy with Rudd's likability to make it a through line for the film.<ref name="LovenessWritingsInspirations" /> Broussard described the film as a "family adventure" film that becomes "an epic sci-fi war movie and a coming-of-age story".<ref name="Advance" />{{rp|2–3}}

On February 4, 2021, Turkey's [[Ministry of Culture and Tourism (Turkey)|Minister of Culture and Tourism]] [[Mehmet Ersoy]] announced that shooting for the film had begun in the country's region of [[Cappadocia]], with the production also set to film in other parts of Turkey.<ref name="TurkeyFilmingStart" /> At the beginning of March, [[T.I.|Tip "T.I."

=== Filming ===
[[Principal photography]] began on July 26, 2021,<ref name="FilmingStart" /> at [[Pinewood Studios]] in [[Buckinghamshire]],<ref name="PinewoodVolume" /> using the [[working title]] ''Dust Bunny'',<ref name="WorkingTitle" /> with [[Bill Pope|William Pope]] serving as cinematographer.<ref name="IndieWireVFX" /> [[Industrial Light & Magic]] provided the same [[StageCraft]] virtual production technology Reed used while directing episodes of the [[Disney+]] ''[[Star Wars]]'' series ''[[The Mandalorian]]''.<ref name="PinewoodVolume" /> Will Htay served as the production designer.<ref name="Htay" /> Principal photography was previously set to begin in January 2021 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="January2021FilmingDouglas" /><ref name="Loveness" /><ref name="LillyMid2021Filming" /> It was then expected to take place between May 31 and September 24.<ref name="FilmingTimeLocations" /> By September 16, over 50 crew members from Pinewood Studios productions, mainly ''Quantumania'' and ''[[Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny]]'' (2023), contracted [[norovirus]] following an outbreak at the studio.

The film's [[mid-credits scene]] sees the introduction of the [[Council of Kangs (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Council of Kangs]], particularly [[Immortus (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Immortus]], [[Rama-Tut (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Rama-Tut]], and [[Centurion (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Centurion]]. These variants, all portrayed by Majors, discuss how the Conqueror has been killed and that the [[Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Avengers]] are starting to infringe on the [[Multiverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|multiverse]] and what they have built. This leads to hundreds of other Kang variants filling an arena,<ref name="THRPostCredits" /> in a shot reminiscent of [[Council of Kangs|the council]]'s first appearance in comics in ''[[The Avengers (comic book)|The Avengers]]'' #292 (June 1988).<ref name="NerdistPostCredits" /> The post-credits scene is footage from the [[Loki season 2|''Loki'' season 2]] episode "[[1893 (Loki)|1893]]" (2023),<ref name="NerdistPostCredits" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3Polygon" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3Collider" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3ScreenRant" /> with Majors appearing as [[Victor Timely (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Victor Timely]], a Kang variant, and [[Tom Hiddleston]] and [[Owen Wilson]] reprising their respective ''Loki'' roles of [[Loki (Marvel Cinematic Universe)#2012 variant|Loki]] and [[Mobius M.

Mobius]].<ref name="IndieWirePostCredits" /><ref name="THRPostCredits" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3Polygon" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3Collider" /><ref name="LokiS2Ep3ScreenRant" /> The film's main-on-end title sequence was designed by [[Perception (visual effects company)|Perception]], who emulated the visuals of the Quantum Realm using [[fluid motion]] and microscopic chemical reactions.<ref name="MainOnEnd" />

The visual effects were made by [[Sony Pictures Imageworks]], [[Industrial Light & Magic]], [[Digital Domain]], [[Moving Picture Company]], Fin Design + Effects, Spin VFX, [[Rising Sun Pictures]], Folks VFX, Barnstorm VFX, [[Base FX]], [[Pixomondo]], MARZ, [[Luma Pictures]], Atomic Arts, Territory Studio, and Stereo D,<ref name="ArtOfVFX" /> with Jesse James Chisholm as the visual effects supervisor.<ref name="IndieWireVFX" /> Due to the shifting release schedule of the film, the post-production period for ''Quantumania'' was reduced by four-and-a-half months, which resulted in reportedly at least 10 rushed visual effects scenes being added at the last minute.<ref name="VarietyNov2023CoverStory" /> Several visual effects companies that worked on ''Quantumania'' were also in post-production on ''[[Black Panther: Wakanda Forever]]'' (2022) around the same time, which resulted in "critical resources" being diverted to focus on ''Wakanda Forever''.<ref name="VultureFeb2023VFX" /> Adam Gerstel and Laura Jennings co-edited the film.<ref name="EditorsVariety" /> Disney spent $194.7 million during pre-production and filming and an additional $131.9 million on post-production in 2022 for a total gross production budget of $326.6 million, which was over 63% more than an initially estimated $200 million production budget and exceeded that of Disney's internal projections for the budget. Disney also received a total reimbursement from the UK government of $50.6 million, which reduced the net budget to $276 million.<ref name="TotalBudget" />

In March 2023, Marvel Studios filed a request to issue a [[subpoena]] to [[Reddit]] to identify the person or group who was responsible for leaking the script and subtitle file for the film in January 2023 to the [[subreddit]] {{visible anchor|r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers}}, as well as a subpoena to [[Google]] since the leaked information had been uploaded to [[Google Docs]].<ref name="MarvelRedditSubpoena" /> As a result of the request, r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers went private and became unavailable to the public.<ref name="SpoilerRedditShutdown" />

A new trailer for the film debuted during the [[2023 College Football Playoff National Championship]] on January 9 before it was released online. Daniel Chin of ''[[The Ringer (website)|The Ringer]]'' noted the trailer had revealed "a lot" as compared to the teaser one, including the lay out of the film's plot and the first look at M.O.D.O.K. Chin felt the trailer had featured "some misdirections... but it seems to supply more advance knowledge than Marvel typically dispenses."<ref name="TheRingerTrailer" /> That month, [[Heineken]] released a commercial featuring Rudd to promote their [[Heineken 0.0|non-alcoholic beer]] and the film.<ref name="Heineken" /> The following month, [[Volkswagen]] released a commercial that was directed by Anthony Leonardi III to promote the film and their [[SUV]] model [[Volkswagen ID.4|ID.4]].<ref name="Volkswagen" /> Additionally, Lang's fictional memoir, ''[[Look Out for the Little Guy]]'', was announced to be published by [[Disney Publishing Worldwide|Hyperion Avenue]], created alongside Marvel Studios and the filmmakers, and was released on September 5, 2023.

=== Critical response ===
[[File:Jonathan Majors (52664029642) (cropped).png|thumb|upright|Jonathan Majors's performance as Kang the Conqueror received praise from critics]]
The [[review aggregator]] website [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reported an approval rating of 46% with an average rating of 5.5/10, based on 410 reviews. The site's critics consensus reads: "''Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'' mostly lacks the spark of fun that elevated earlier adventures, but Jonathan Majors' Kang is a thrilling villain poised to alter the course of the MCU."<ref name="RTReview" /> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a weighted average score of 48 out of 100, based on 61 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref name="MCReview" /> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, and those polled by [[PostTrak]] reported 75% of audience members gave the film a positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely recommend it.<ref name="DeadlineOpening" />

[[Owen Gleiberman]] from ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' was critical of the film, calling it "at once fun and numbing" and stating "...if this is what Phase 5 looks like, God save us from Phases 6, 7 and 8."<ref name="VarietyReview" /> [[Caryn James]] from the [[BBC]] stated that the movie has "Marvel's next big villain but other than that, it has nothing to offer beyond drab-looking action."<ref name="BBCReview" /> Wendy Ide from ''[[The Guardian]]'' called Majors's performance the film's "magnetic core", but said that overall the film was "baffling and illogical".<ref name="GuardianReview" /> Ross Bonaime from ''[[Collider (website)|Collider]]'' also praised Majors's performance, writing he "makes for an excellent villain, who brings nuance and subtlety to his character ... Majors makes this character [Kang] likable in the beginning, but also never hides the menace and terror that he can cause at any moment." Giving the film a B−, Bonaime stated: "''Quantumania'' is a promising, but shaky start for Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it's just a shame it comes at the sake of the little guy."<ref name="ColliderReview" /> [[Frank Scheck]] of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' commended Majors for "bringing real gravitas" to the film, and investing "his performance with such an arrestingly quiet stillness and ambivalence that you're on edge every moment he's onscreen." Scheck also praised Pfeiffer, writing she "is terrific in her expanded role, given the opportunity to be a badass heroine and making the most of it."<ref name="THRReview" /> [[Manohla Dargis]] from ''[[The New York Times]]'' felt Pfeiffer, Majors, and Douglas were the "truer stars of this show", but felt the overall film was "busy, noisy and thoroughly uninspired".<ref name="NYTReview" />

[[Richard Roeper]] of ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' rated the film three out of four stars, writing it is a "mid-tier MCU film, with decent enough battle sequences and some nifty visuals".<ref name="CSTReview" /> Leah Greenblatt of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' graded the film a B+, concluding: "At just over 120 minutes, though — a blink in Marvel time — this ''Ant-Man'' is clever enough to be fun, and wise enough not overstay its welcome. Who better understands the benefits, after all, of keeping it small?"<ref name="EWReview" /> [[Michael Phillips (critic)|Michael Phillips]] of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' gave the film two stars out of four, stating it is "less fun, and blandly garish visually. The earlier films' throwaway jokes and welcome aversion to brutal solemnity have largely been ditched in favor of endless endgame stuff and weirdly cheesy digital world-building in the Quantum Realm."<ref name="CTReview" /> Similarly, David Sims of ''[[The Atlantic]]'' disapprovingly compared the film to the first two entries, writing in his review: "That cleverness, combined with the special-effect goofiness of people and objects getting big and small, powered the series—and it is basically been junked here, replaced by a bunch of celestial showdowns between Kang and Ant-Man. Anytime ''Quantumania'' allows itself to get a little silly, it's in much better shape."<ref name="AtlanticReview" />

=== Accolades ===
''Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania'' received a nomination for Best Music Supervision in a Trailer – Film at the 2023 [[Guild of Music Supervisors Awards]].<ref name="GMS" /> At the [[2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards]], it was nominated for [[MTV Movie Award for Best Hero|Best Hero]] (Rudd) and Best Kick-Ass Cast.<ref name="MTVAwards" /> The film garnered a nomination for Best Fantasy Adventure TV Spot (for a Feature Film) at the 2023 [[Golden Trailer Awards]].<ref name="GTANoms" /><ref name="GTAWins" /> The film is also nominated for [[Saturn Award for Best Comic-to-Film Motion Picture|Best Superhero Film]] at the [[51st Saturn Awards]],<ref name="SaturnAwards" /> and for [[AACTA Award for Best Visual Effects or Animation|Best Visual Effects or Animation]] at the [[13th AACTA Awards]].<ref name="AACTAAwards" /> At the [[49th People's Choice Awards]], it is nominated for Action Movie of the Year.<ref name="PCANoms" /> At the [[44th Golden Raspberry Awards]], the film was nominated for [[Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actor|Worst Supporting Actor]] for both Douglas and Murray, [[Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel|Worst Remake, Rip-off or Sequel]], and [[Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Director|Worst Director]] for Reed.<ref name="RazzieNoms" />

'''''Eternals''''' is a 2021 American [[superhero film]] based on the [[Marvel Comics]] race [[Eternals (comics)|of the same name]]. Produced by [[Marvel Studios]] and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is [[List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films|the 26th film]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU). The film was directed by [[Chloé Zhao]], who wrote the screenplay with [[Patrick Burleigh]], Ryan Firpo, and [[Kaz Firpo]]. It stars an [[ensemble cast]] including [[Gemma Chan]], [[Richard Madden]], [[Kumail Nanjiani]], [[Lia McHugh]], [[Brian Tyree Henry]], [[Lauren Ridloff]], [[Barry Keoghan]], [[Ma Dong-seok|Don Lee]], [[Kit Harington]], [[Salma Hayek]], and [[Angelina Jolie]]. In the film, the Eternals, immortal alien beings, emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the [[Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Deviants]].

In April 2018, Marvel Studios president [[Kevin Feige]] announced that a film based on the Eternals was in development and would explore the group as [[ancient alien]]s living throughout human history. Ryan and Kaz Firpo were hired to write the script, and Zhao was set to direct in September. She was given significant creative freedom to rewrite the script, taking especial inspiration from [[Terrence Malick]]'s films, and to use more locations and natural lighting than previous MCU films had. Casting began in early 2019 and Burleigh joined to work on the script ahead of [[principal photography]], which took place from July 2019 to February 2020 at [[Pinewood Studios]] and on location in England and the [[Canary Islands]].

''Eternals'' premiered at the [[Dolby Theatre]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles]], on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5 as part of [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four|Phase Four]] of the MCU. The film grossed $402 million worldwide and received some awards and nominations, but it also became the first MCU film to not receive generally positive reviews. Particular criticism went to the screenplay and pacing, with commentators feeling it did not live up to Zhao's previous work or to previous MCU films. It received some praise for its themes and visuals.

== Plot ==

In 5000 BC, ten superpowered beings known as [[Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eternals]]—[[Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ajak]], [[Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sersi]], [[Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ikaris]], [[Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kingo]], [[Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sprite]], [[Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Phastos]], [[Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Makkari]], [[Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Druig]], [[Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Gilgamesh]], and [[Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thena]]—are sent to Earth by [[Arishem (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Arishem]], a [[Celestials (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Celestial]], on the [[starship]] ''[[Domo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Domo]]''. They are charged with exterminating invasive entities known as the [[Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Deviants]]. The last Deviant is killed in 1521 when the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next 500 years, they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.

In the present day, Sersi and Sprite live together in [[London]]. After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human [[Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dane Whitman]] who works at the [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]]. When the trio is attacked by the Deviant [[Kro (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kro]], Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.

Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the [[Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe#Emergence|Emergence]] of a new Celestial. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the [[apex predator]]s of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when they evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the recent end of [[the Blip]] restoring Earth's population,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019)}} humankind has reached the necessary size to allow the Celestial [[Tiamut]] to be born, which will result in Earth's destruction.

Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reunite. At Druig's residence in the [[Amazon rainforest]], they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes they use the Uni-Mind, a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his [[mind-control]] abilities. However, Ikaris is loyal to Arishem and refuses to help stop the Emergence. He reveals that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave.

Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an [[active volcano]] in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep, and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into marble. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but is unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind, and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into marble. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. Sersi uses the remaining Uni-Mind energy to turn Sprite into a human, ending her [[Puer aeternus|permanent childlike state]].

Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the ''Domo'' to warn Eternals on other planets of the Emergences. Whitman professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. He vows to return for judgment and takes the trio into a singularity.

In a [[mid-credits scene]], Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal [[Eros (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eros]] and his assistant [[Pip (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Pip the Troll]]. In a post-credits scene, an unseen person{{efn|Identified off-screen as [[Blade (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Blade]]<ref name="Blade" />}} questions whether Whitman is ready to wield the [[Ebony Blade]].

== Cast ==
[[File:Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek, Lia McHugh, Don Lee & Angelina Jolie (cropped).jpg|thumb|upright=1.75|The cast of ''Eternals'' at the 2019 [[San Diego Comic-Con]] (L to R): Madden, Nanjiani, Ridloff, Henry, Hayek, McHugh, Lee, and Jolie]]

* [[Gemma Chan]] as [[Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sersi]]: An empathetic [[Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eternal]] with a strong connection to humanity and the Earth, who can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Sersi has been in love with Ikaris for centuries and has a strong connection with Sprite. In the present day, she is a [[museum curator]] on Earth and dating Dane Whitman.<ref name="ChanVogue" /><ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> Producer [[Kevin Feige]] said Sersi was the lead character of the film.<ref name="FeigeApril2021" /> Director [[Chloé Zhao]] said she and Chan were interested in creating the kind of nuanced female superhero that they felt was rarely seen in the genre, and Zhao felt Chan had imbued the character with gentleness, compassion, and vulnerability that would "invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic".<ref name="ChanVogue" /> Chan said Sersi was free-spirited and loved being around humans.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" />
* [[Richard Madden]] as [[Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ikaris]]: A powerful Eternal who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Speaking to the relationship between Ikaris and Sersi, Madden said the fact that they had loved each other for centuries showed a "deep level of romance" between the two. They are on opposing sides of how the Eternals connect to the world, with Sersi having compassion for humans while Ikaris is more disconnected.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> The biggest struggle for Madden was showing that Ikaris has "seen everything and done everything" without the character coming across as bored.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Zhao's take on Ikaris was influenced by director [[Zack Snyder]]'s [[Clark Kent (DC Extended Universe)|interpretation]] of [[Superman]] in ''[[Man of Steel (film)|Man of Steel]]'' (2013) which left a strong impression on her for its "authentic and very real" approach.<ref name="SupermanInfluence" />
* [[Kumail Nanjiani]] as [[Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kingo]]: An Eternal who can create cosmic energy projectiles. Enamored with fame, Kingo becomes a popular [[Bollywood]] film star to blend in on Earth.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="KingoBollywood" /> Nanjiani wanted to combine the wisecracking attitude of [[John McClane]] from the [[Die Hard (film series)|''Die Hard'' film series]] with the look of Bollywood actor [[Hrithik Roshan]],<ref name="Nanjiani2" /> and also studied [[Errol Flynn filmography|Errol Flynn films]] and some of the original [[Zorro#Films|''Zorro'' films]] to help emulate "old school Hollywood stars whose characters really enjoyed fighting". Nanjiani, who is not a dancer, grew up watching [[Bollywood dance]] sequences and spent several months training for the film's own such sequence in hopes of capturing the same energy and joy.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> He also underwent rigorous fitness training to build up muscle for his role.<ref name="NanjianiTraining" />
* [[Lia McHugh]] as [[Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sprite]]: An Eternal who can project life-like illusions. Sprite is in a [[Puer aeternus|permanent childlike state]], appearing as a young girl despite being thousands of years old. The film explores her struggles with this,<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> including her jealousy of humans who can grow old, know love, and have families.<ref name="VultureEEs" /> She has an unrequited love for Ikaris which Kingo compares to that of [[Tinker Bell]] for [[Peter Pan]]. Similarly, [[Neil Gaiman]] and [[John Romita Jr.]]'s [[Eternals (comics)#Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial|2006 ''Eternals'' comic book miniseries]] compared Sprite to the never-aging Peter Pan and gave them similar short, red hair, which the film also uses. The film ends with Sprite becoming human and being able to grow old.<ref name="SpritePeterPan" />
* [[Brian Tyree Henry]] as [[Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Phastos]]: An Eternal and an intelligent weapons and technology inventor.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> He is the first superhero to be depicted as gay in an MCU film.<ref name="SleimanFeb2020" />
* [[Lauren Ridloff]] as [[Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Makkari]]: An Eternal who can move at superhuman speed. The character is the first deaf superhero in the MCU.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> After starting to run more in anticipation of the role, she shifted to muscle building in order to have "the symmetry of somebody who looks like a sprinter".<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" />
* [[Barry Keoghan]] as [[Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Druig]]: An aloof Eternal who becomes frustrated with the inaction of the other Eternals in human affairs. He can manipulate the minds of others.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" />
* [[Ma Dong-seok|Don Lee]] as [[Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Gilgamesh]]: The strongest Eternal, with a deep connection to Thena.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Lee pursued the role in order to be an inspiration to the younger generation as the first Korean superhero, and was able to utilize his boxing training for the role.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />
* [[Kit Harington]] as [[Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dane Whitman]]: A human who works at the [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]] in London as a history professor and is dating Sersi.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="HaringtonGamesRadar" />
* [[Salma Hayek]] as [[Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ajak]]: The wise and spiritual leader of the Eternals, who has the ability to heal and is the "bridge" between the Eternals and the [[Celestials (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Celestials]].<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Changing the character from a man in the comics allowed Hayek to lean into Ajak's femininity and make her the "mother figure" of the Eternals.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Hayek was initially hesitant to work with Marvel, assuming she would have a supporting or "grandmother" role.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />
* [[Angelina Jolie]] as [[Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thena]]: An elite warrior Eternal who can form any weapon out of cosmic energy and develops a close bond with Gilgamesh over the centuries.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> She also suffers from a psychological condition called [[Mahd Wy'ry]].<ref name="MahdWyry" /> Jolie trained with various swords, spears, and staffs for the role, as well as taking ballet.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />


Additionally, [[Bill Skarsgård]] provides the voice of [[Kro (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kro]], one of the [[Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Deviants]],<ref name="KroVoiceSkarsgård" /> and [[David Kaye (voice actor)|David Kaye]] voices the Celestial [[Arishem (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Arishem]].<ref name="ArishemVoiceKaye" /> [[Harish Patel]] appears as Karun Patel, Kingo's human [[valet]];<ref name="Patel" /> [[Haaz Sleiman]] and Esai Daniel Cross respectively portray Phastos's husband Ben and son Jack;<ref name="PhastosFamily" /> and [[Zain Al Rafeea]] plays a villager who comes across the Eternals when they first arrive on Earth.<ref name="Rafeea" /> [[Harry Styles]] appears in the [[mid-credits scene]] as [[Eros (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eros / Starfox]], the brother of MCU character [[Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thanos]], while [[Patton Oswalt]] voices Eros's assistant [[Pip (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Pip the Troll]].<ref name="StylesOswalt" /> [[Mahershala Ali]] has an uncredited voice-only [[cameo appearance|cameo]] as [[Blade (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Blade]] in the post-credits scene ahead of starring in [[Blade (2025 film)|his own film]].<ref name="Blade" />

== Production ==
=== Development ===
In April 2015, [[Marvel Television]] was working with screenwriter [[John Ridley]] to craft a new television series for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], "reinventing" an existing Marvel character or property,<ref name="RidleySeries" /> which was revealed years later to be the [[Eternals (comics)|Eternals]].<ref name="RidleyEternalsSeries" /> Through its development, which ultimately had eventually been abandoned during the folding of Marvel Television in December 2019,<ref name="MarvelTVFolded" /><ref name="RidleyEternalsSeries" /> Ridley stated that he was trying to make a superhero television series that viewers had not necessarily seen before, with hopes that it could occupy "a space that [was] not currently being filled" by Marvel.<ref name="RidleyIGNJan2017" /> His approach to the characters would have been "a really weird story", though he stated the characters are "a really hard property" to adapt while conceding that while he believed his series would have been good it may not have been entertaining for everyone.<ref name="RidleyEternalsSeries" />

[[Marvel Studios]] president [[Kevin Feige]] said in April 2018 that the studio was actively developing a film based on the [[Marvel Comics]] series ''Eternals'', created by [[Jack Kirby]], to be released as part of their [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four|Phase Four]] slate of films. Marvel Studios had met with multiple screenwriters, and was believed to be focusing on the character [[Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sersi]] in the film.<ref name="FeigeApr2018" /> Marvel set Ryan and [[Kaz Firpo]] to write the script a month later,<ref name="Firpos" /> with their outline including a love story between the characters Sersi and [[Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ikaris]].<ref name="Zhao" /> In June, Feige said Marvel was interested in exploring the "[[ancient alien]]s kind of sci-fi trope" by having the Eternals be the inspiration for myths and legends throughout the history of the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU).<ref name="FeigeJun2018" />

[[File:Chloe Zhao by Gage Skidmore.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Director [[Chloé Zhao]] promoting ''Eternals'' at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con]]
During late August, Marvel's director search for ''Eternals'' narrowed to a shortlist that included [[Chloé Zhao]]—who had also been in the running to direct Marvel's ''[[Black Widow (2021 film)|Black Widow]]'' (2021)—[[Nicole Kassell]], [[Travis Knight]], and the pair of [[Cristina Gallego]] and [[Ciro Guerra]].<ref name="Zhao" /> Zhao approached Marvel Studios about making the film as she had been a fan of the MCU. She wanted to work with the studio to bring her own take and world-building to the franchise,<ref name="ZhaoDec2020" /> and impressed them with a presentation that Feige described as fascinating, with "reams of visuals".<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> Zhao worked with producer [[Nate Moore (film producer)|Nate Moore]] to develop her pitch.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> The presentation left Marvel concerned that she might take on a different big-studio project instead of ''Eternals'', forcing them to move quickly to secure her, and Zhao was hired as director in September.<ref name="Zhao" /><ref name="Zhao2" /> Zhao hoped to push the scope of the film further than Marvel's ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019),<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> but also wanted it to have intimacy.<ref name="ZhaoWriterJan2021" /> Zhao described the film as a melting pot of influences, from Kirby's original work, [[Neil Gaiman]]'s [[Eternals (comics)#Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial|2006 run]], previous MCU projects, Zhao's fandom of the MCU, and her love of science fiction and fantasy films and [[manga]].<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Speaking specifically to her love of manga, she hoped those influences would create a "marriage of East and West".<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> Zhao cited the TV series ''[[Ancient Aliens]]'', the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' video game series, the concepts from [[Yuval Noah Harari]]'s book ''[[Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind]]'', and the films of [[Terrence Malick]] as her inspirations for the film.<ref name="ZhaoNov2020" />

Marvel considered ''Eternals'' to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films along with projects such as ''[[Captain Marvel (film)|Captain Marvel]]'' (2019),<ref name="Zhao2" /> allowing the studio to cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals.<ref name="Zhao" /> Moore's initial planning documents for the project including the swapping of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters from the comic books, with Zhao further advocating for this approach.<ref name="FeigeApril2021" /> In February 2019, Feige reiterated that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning story,<ref name="FeigeFeb2019" /> with the film version spanning 7,000 years and exploring humanity's place in the cosmos.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Zhao noted that the Eternals "have lived among us for so long, [they have] the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal freedom versus greater good — all the duality and flaws that make us human". When trying to develop a story that spanned so many years, Marvel realized that the characters would likely be a family unit, with friendship that would "turn into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship". Zhao also looked to the Earth as an eleventh character in the film, chronicling its journey alongside the Eternal characters.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> Marvel also wanted to create more ensemble films that were not crossover films, like ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' (2014), while introducing relatively unknown characters to audiences as they did with [[Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)|that film's title characters]] and the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]].<ref name="FeigeFeb2019" />

=== Pre-production ===
{{Quote box|width=33%|align=right|quote="I wanted it to reflect the world we live in. But also I wanted to put a cast together that feels like a group of misfits. I didn't want the jocks. I want you to walk away at the end of the movie not thinking, 'This person is this ethnicity, that person is that nationality.' No. I want you to walk away thinking, 'That's a family.' You don't think about what they represent."|source=—Zhao on the diverse cast of the film<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" />}}

Throughout early 2019, Zhao began working on a draft of the script, building upon the multiple drafts submitted by the Firpos. Approximately four months ahead of filming, the script was not finalized, so Moore introduced [[Patrick Burleigh]], who had been part of Marvel's writers program, to Zhao in the hopes he could assist with the writing. Zhao hired him to work on the screenplay, which he did for about three months ahead of filming. Burleigh believed Zhao needed to write on the film as well as direct to "process the film through her own filter", and noted her draft showed she was "trying to make the Terrence Malick version of a Marvel film"; Zhao citing his film ''[[The Tree of Life (film)|The Tree of Life]]'' (2011) as an inspiration. Burleigh called his work with Zhao on the script mostly "structural" to find "the flow of the film", likening the story to a [[Road movie|road trip film]].<ref name="BurleighTHR" />

[[Angelina Jolie]] joined the cast in March 2019, reportedly as Sersi,<ref name="Jolie" /><ref name="Nanjiani" /> with [[Kumail Nanjiani]] and [[Ma Dong-seok|Don Lee]] cast in undisclosed roles the next month.<ref name="Nanjiani" /><ref name="Ma" /> At that time, the film was expected to feature Marvel Studios' first gay superhero.<ref name="Ma2" /> In May, [[Richard Madden]] entered negotiations for the role of Ikaris,<ref name="MaddenTalks" /> and [[Salma Hayek]] had entered early negotiations for an undisclosed role the following month.<ref name="Hayek" /> In July, ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' reported that the cast included Jolie, Madden, and [[Millie Bobby Brown]], but Brown denied that she had been cast.<ref name="Brown" /><ref name="NoBrown" />

At the 2019 [[San Diego Comic-Con]], Feige officially announced ''The Eternals'' with a release date of November 6, 2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as [[Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thena]], Nanjiani as [[Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kingo]], Lee as [[Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Gilgamesh]], Madden as Ikaris, and Hayek as [[Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ajak]], along with [[Lauren Ridloff]] as [[Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Makkari]], [[Brian Tyree Henry]] as [[Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Phastos]], and [[Lia McHugh]] as [[Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sprite]].<ref name="McHugh" /> Zhao looked for actors for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character".<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> Feige added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character,<ref name="LGBTQ" /> with actor [[Haaz Sleiman]] later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film. Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film. Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous media.<ref name="SleimanFeb2020" /> Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story" and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film,<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> while Sleiman said it was a "thoughtful" depiction.<ref name="SleimanJan2021" />

''Eternals'' is set around eight months after the events of ''Avengers: Endgame'',<ref name="EternalsTimeline" /> and addresses why the Eternals did not interfere in any past conflicts in the MCU. Both Feige and Moore said the film would have "major ripple effects" on the future of the MCU, and at times, it was "a challenge" to balance the grounded nature of the MCU with the "mythic grandeur" of the Eternals property.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />

=== Filming ===
By the film's official announcement in July 2019, [[principal photography]] had begun at [[Pinewood Studios]] in [[Buckinghamshire]], England.<ref name="FilmingStart" /><ref name="PinewoodStudios" /> [[Ben Davis (cinematographer)|Ben Davis]] served as director of photography, after doing so on several previous MCU films.<ref name="FeigeApril2021" /><ref name="Davis" /> Zhao said Marvel Studios allowed her creative freedom to shoot the film on location, "exactly the way [she] wanted to shoot" it. She was able to use a similar style to her previous films, including 360° shots and working with the same camera and rigs as were used for her film ''[[Nomadland (film)|Nomadland]]'' (2020),<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> which Zhao was set to complete [[Back-to-back film production|back-to-back]] with ''The Eternals''.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Zhao felt that she "got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different."<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> Zhao cited ''[[The Revenant (2015 film)|The Revenant]]'' (2015) as a primary influence when composing the film's action sequences.<ref name="ZhaoRevenantInfluence" />

[[Gemma Chan]] and [[Barry Keoghan]] were in talks to join the cast in August 2019.<ref name="Chan" /><ref name="Keoghan" /> Chan previously portrayed [[Minn-Erva (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Minn-Erva]] in ''Captain Marvel'', but reports noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate character in this film.<ref name="Chan" /> Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for the film to cast.<ref name="ChanTHRDec2020" /> Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at the [[D23 (Disney)|D23 Expo]] in August, in the roles of Sersi and [[Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Druig]], respectively, along with [[Kit Harington]] as [[Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dane Whitman]].<ref name="D232019" /> Chan said she and Marvel Studios were surprised by how soon after ''Captain Marvel'' her new MCU role came, with both assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.<ref name="ChanTHRDec2020" /> [[Harish Patel]] was cast at the end of August as [[Karun Patel|Karun]], Kingo's manager,<ref name="PatelNews18" /><ref name="PatelHindustanTimes" /> and filmed his role from September 2019 until January 2020.<ref name="PatelNews18" />

By early November, filming took place in the [[Canary Islands]]. The filming cast and crew, including Jolie and Madden, had to be evacuated from a shooting location on the island of [[Fuerteventura]] when an explosive device was found there.

In March 2020, [[Scanline VFX]], one of the companies working on the film's visual effects, confirmed that they would be working remotely due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="ScanLineVFX" /> [[Industrial Light & Magic]], [[Luma Pictures]], [[Rise FX|RISE]], and [[WetaFX|Weta Digital]] also worked on the film's visual effects.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.artofvfx.com/eternals/|title=Eternals - The Art of VFX|first=Vincent|last=Frei|website=Art of VFX|date=October 25, 2021|access-date=July 7, 2022|archive-date=November 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211109013833/https://www.artofvfx.com/eternals/|url-status=live}}</ref> In early April, Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of films due to the pandemic, moving ''The Eternals''{{'}} release date to February 12, 2021.<ref name="Phase4Delay" /> In August, the film's title was officially shortened from ''The Eternals'' to ''Eternals'',<ref name="NoThe" /> and the next month, the release date was pushed back to November 5, 2021.<ref name="Phase4DelayAgain" /> Reshoots had taken place by mid-November 2020.<ref name="RidloffReshoots" />

Additional filming occurred in [[Los Angeles]] in early February, also under the working title ''Sack Lunch''.<ref name="Feb7LAFilming" /> [[Dylan Tichenor]] and [[Craig Wood (film editor)|Craig Wood]] serve as co-editors of the film.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Tichenor said Zhao usually edits her own films and has "strong opinions", but on ''Eternals'' she was relying on Tichenor and Wood due to the size of the production and the ongoing awards season for ''Nomadland''. Tichenor added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback, and were still working on the editing in April 2021.<ref name="TichenorWood" /> At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film was in its "final stretch",<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the film, after previously starring in Zhao's film ''[[Songs My Brothers Taught Me]]'' (2015).<ref name="StJohn" />

At the end of May 2021, with the release of the first teaser trailer and poster for the film, the official writing credits were revealed: Zhao was credited as the screenwriter, both as a solo contributor and as part of a writing team with Burleigh, while Ryan and Kaz Firpo received story credit.<ref name="VarietyTeaser" /><ref name="PosterCredits" /> Additionally, [[Gil Birmingham]] was revealed to have been cast in the film,<ref name="Birmingham" /> although he was absent in the final film.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} In July 2021, [[Writers Guild of America West]] presented the film's final writing credits, awarding Ryan and Kaz Firpo screenplay credit along with Zhao and the team of Zhao and Burleigh, in addition to their story credit.<ref name="WGA" /><ref name="BurleighTHR" /> Moore believed the studio had "bit off as much as we could chew" with the film, creating one that "felt urgent and present and had [a fast] pace, but also took time to reflect back over the centuries".<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />

At the film's world premiere, Matt Donnelly of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' tweeted that [[Harry Styles]] made an appearance in a [[post-credits scene]] as [[Starfox (comics)|Eros]], [[Thanos (comics)|Thanos]]' brother in the comics, which was not shown in early press screenings of the film.<ref name="StylesEros" /> Zhao later revealed that she "kept tabs on [Styles]" since his appearance in ''[[Dunkirk (2017 film)|Dunkirk]]'' (2017), believing that he "makes me think of Eros as a character".<ref name="ZhaoCastingStyles" /> [[WWE]] wrestler [[Becky Lynch]] had a role in the film for a planned post-credits scene that was intended to set up a future project. The scene was removed for being reportedly "too depressing".<ref name="BeckyLynch" />

{{main|Eternals (soundtrack){{!}}''Eternals'' (soundtrack)}}
[[Ramin Djawadi]] composed the score for the film, after previously doing so for Marvel's ''[[Iron Man (2008 film)|Iron Man]]'' (2008).<ref name="Djawadi" /> Two songs from the film's soundtrack, "Across the Oceans of Time" and "Eternals Theme", were released as [[single (music)|singles]] on October 22, 2021, while the full album was released on November 3.<ref name="Singles" /><ref name="Soundtrack" />

The first footage of the film was released in May 2021 as part of a promotional video from Marvel Studios celebrating their films and a return to movie theaters.<ref name="VergeSizzleFootage" /><ref name="NerdistSizzleFootage" /> Though the footage was limited and "vague", Hoai-Tran Bui at ''[[/Film]]'' still felt it was "very exciting".<ref name="/FilmSizzleFootage" /> Chaim Gartenberg of ''[[The Verge]]'' felt one of the biggest moments of the footage was seeing Jolie wielding a sword made of light. He was also encouraged that ''Eternals'' appeared to be one of Marvel's first films to "deliver on [their] years-long promise of creating films with more diverse casts".<ref name="VergeSizzleFootage" /> ''[[Nerdist Industries|Nerdist]]''{{'s}} Michael Arbeiter said the footage was quick, but felt that it "manages an air of wonderment".<ref name="NerdistSizzleFootage" />

The first teaser for the film was released on May 24, 2021. Gartenberg felt the teaser was light on plot elements, with it instead focusing on the "civilization-spanning scope of the superhero team and its members throughout human history". He also believed the film was "a big swing" from Marvel Studios to entice audiences with a lesser-known comics property, but believed that it would succeed due to its diverse cast of well-known actors and Zhao's status as "one of the most exciting directors around".<ref name="VergeTeaser" /> ''[[io9]]''{{'s}} Charlies Pulliam-Moore felt the trailer was a "multiple millennia-spanning recap of Earth's history", and said it was unclear how much the larger MCU would impact on the film outside of a brief reference to the Avengers at the end of the trailer.<ref name="io9Teaser" /> Writing for ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', Nick Romano felt the teaser was a combination of "thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments" and some jokes.<ref name="EWTeaser" /> Erik Adams of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' felt the spot teased some fresh angles for the MCU in a similar way to ''[[Thor: Ragnarok]]'' (2017) and ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' (2014), and he enjoyed the images of Kingo's Bollywood dance, Sprite performing karaoke, and the end scene of the Eternals eating together and joking about the Avengers.<ref name="AVClubTeaser" /> After seeing the teaser, ''Variety''{{'s}} Adam B. Vary described the film as "unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film.<ref name="VarietyTeaser" /> Adele Ankers of ''[[IGN]]'' discussed the poster that was released at the same time as the trailer, highlighting how the Eternals appear in silhouette against a sunlit background which she described as "another taste of Chloé Zhao's signature filming style and the use of natural light to illuminate a frame" that would be seen in the film.<ref name="IGNTeaserPoster" /> Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one trending video on [[YouTube]] and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24 hours.<ref name="TeaserViews" /> Disney's president of marketing Asad Ayaz said the teaser was designed to just be an introduction to the characters and tone and not give much of the film away, adding the marketing team would be "very judicious" on when more material would be revealed, while also using the releases of ''Black Widow'' and ''[[Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings]]'' before ''Eternals'' to help expose audiences to the characters.<ref name="AyazJun2021" />

The final trailer was released in August 2021, with Ethan Shanfeld and Manori Ravindran of ''Variety'' feeling it was "more serious in tone" than the teaser with the Eternals "grappling with the prospect of emerging after centuries living apart in order to help humans".<ref name="VarietyFinalTrailer" /> ''Entertainment Weekly''{{'s}} Devan Coggan felt that the trailer was the "best glimpse yet" of the film and gave a "sense of the vast scale and scope of the film", while answering "one important question" about the absence of the Eternals during the conflict against [[Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thanos]] in ''Avengers: Infinity War'' and ''Avengers: Endgame''.<ref name="EWFinalTrailer" /> Aaron Couch at ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' said the trailer "reveals much of [the film's] plot as well as its characters' powers, teasing the answers to key questions about who the Eternals answer to, their relationship to Earth and why they ultimately didn't intervene" in the conflict against Thanos.<ref name="THRFinalTrailer" />

In October 2021, [[Lexus]] released a commercial promoting the film and its [[Lexus IS|Lexus IS 500]] sports sedan starring Nanjiani as Kingo, with frequent MCU directors [[Russo brothers|Joe and Anthony Russo]] guiding its development and [[Framestore]] working on the visual effects.<ref name="Lexus" /> Lexus created ten [[concept cars]] based on the ten Eternals characters from the film.<ref name="LexusConcept" /> The [[Lexus LS|LS 500h]] and [[Lexus NX|NX]] are featured in the film.<ref name="Lexus" /> Beginning on November 20, 2021, select costumes from the film were part of the ''Futures'' exhibit at the [[Smithsonian Institution]]'s [[Arts and Industries Building]], which ran through July 2022. Behind-the-scenes content looking at the evolution of the film's visuals as well as an augmented reality experience were also included in the exhibit.<ref name="SmithsonianCostumes" />

== Release ==
===Theatrical===
''Eternals'' had its world premiere at the [[Dolby Theatre]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles]], on October 18, 2021,<ref name="WorldPremiere" /> and was screened at the [[Rome Film Festival]] on October 24.<ref name="RomeFilmFest" /> The film was released theatrically in many European countries on November 3, and in the United States and the United Kingdom on November 5 in [[RealD 3D]] and [[4DX]].<ref name="RomeFilmFest" /> In September 2021, Disney announced that the film would have an exclusive theatrical release for a minimum of 45 days.<ref name="45DayTheatricalRelease" /> ''Eternals'' was previously set for release on November 6, 2020,<ref name="MarvelSDCC" /> before it was shifted to February 12, 2021,<ref name="Phase4Delay" /> and then to the November 2021 date, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="Phase4DelayAgain" /> It is part of Phase Four of the MCU.<ref name="PhaseFour" />

==== Censorship ====
In May 2021, a Chinese state media report excluded ''Eternals'', as well as ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', from its list of upcoming MCU films releasing, which ''Variety'' noted "added to rumors" that the films would not be released in China, especially since Zhao had become "an unexpected ''[[persona non grata]]''" in the country after she was scrutinized by Chinese [[netizens]] over her remarks in a 2013 interview with ''[[Filmmaker (magazine)|Filmmaker]]'' magazine in which she described China as "a place where there are lies everywhere".<ref name="VarietyChinaReleaseMay2021" /><ref name="VarietyGoldenGlobesMarch2021" /><ref name="SouthChinaMorningPostApril2021" /> By September 2021, ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'' reported it remained "an open question" if the Chinese government or Zhao would attempt to "rehabilitate" the situation, but it "seems likely" the film would not be released in China following the country's response to ''Nomadland'' as well as ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'' likely not being released in the country either following backlash to comments made by star [[Simu Liu]] in 2017.<ref name="DeadlineChinaReleaseSep2021" />

The film was not released in [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Kuwait]], [[Qatar]], [[Bahrain]] and [[Oman]] due to the depiction of a gay couple. Theaters in the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]] and [[Egypt]] were set to show an edited version of the film which is missing all the love scenes.<ref name="MiddleEastBan" /> Angelina Jolie criticized the countries' decision to ban the film, saying: "I'm sad for [those audiences]. And I'm proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don't understand how we live in a world today where there's still [people who] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn't approve or appreciate it is ignorant."<ref name="JolieGayScenes" /> Lebanese actor [[Haaz Sleiman]], who played Phastos' husband Ben in the film, also voiced the same reaction towards the matter: "They stood their ground and said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film.' It made these Arab countries {{sic|looks}} so ignorant and pathetic. I have no respect for those governments. They have displayed to the world that they are not only a disgrace to humanity, but to God. Hopefully this will inspire the Saudi people, the Kuwaiti people and the people in Qatar to fight back."<ref name="MiddleEast" /> Marvel later agreed to cut any kind of love scenes, including the gay couple kiss for the film's release in [[Indonesia]], which received praise by the Indonesian Film Censorship Board (LSF).<ref name="IndoCensor" />

=== Home media ===
''Eternals'' began streaming on [[Disney+]] on January 12, 2022, with the option to view the theatrical version of the film or an IMAX Enhanced version.<ref name="Disney+" /> Audio commentary and additional bonus features for the film were added to Disney+ in March 2022.<ref name="ZhaoAdditionalDisney+" /> It was released on [[Ultra HD Blu-ray]], [[Blu-ray]], and [[DVD-Video|DVD]] on February 15.

== Reception ==
=== Box office ===
''Eternals'' grossed $164.9{{nbsp}}million in the United States and Canada, and $237.2{{nbsp}}million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $402.1{{nbsp}}million.<ref name="BOM" /><ref name="NUM" /> The film's opening weekend earned $162 million globally, which was the second-largest worldwide opening weekend in the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] for a Hollywood film, of which [[IMAX]] contributed to over $13.6 million.<ref name="EternalsPostTrak" />

==== Pre-sale tickets and projections ====
Advanced ticket sales for ''Eternals'' were estimated to be $2.6 million in its first 24 hours, outpacing those for ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'' ($1.4 million) and ''Black Widow'' ($2 million) during the same time frame, while [[AMC Theatres]] had the largest first day sales of 2021 for the film.<ref name="DeadlineAdvanceTickets" /> In November, [[Fandango Media|Fandango]] reported that pre-sales for ''Eternals'' were second-largest of 2021, behind ''Black Widow''.<ref name="FandangoProjections" /> In October, ''[[Boxoffice Pro]]'' initially projected that the film would earn $82–102 million within its opening weekend, and around $210–280 million in total domestic box office.<ref name="BoxofficeProProjections" /> At the end of the month, ''Boxoffice Pro'' modified their projections to $67–92 million for the film's opening weekend, and around $165–215 million in total domestic box office, due to mixed early critical reception.<ref name="BoxofficeProProjections2" /> According to ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'', ''Eternals'' was expected to earn $75 million within its domestic opening weekend, and around $150 million globally.<ref name="WorldwideOpening" />

==== Performance ====
In the United States and Canada, ''Eternals'' earned $30.7 million in its opening day, which included $9.5 million from Thursday night previews, marking the third-largest opening day of the pandemic, behind ''Black Widow'' and ''[[Venom: Let There Be Carnage]]''.

This marked the fourth-largest opening weekend of the pandemic. The domestic opening weekend gross was lower than various pre-release projections. ''Deadline'' attributed this to the film's overall mixed reception from critics and audiences.<ref name="EternalsPostTrak" /> In its second weekend, ''Eternals'' remained the top film, grossing over $27.5 million.<ref name="BO2ndWknd" /> ''Eternals'' became the [[List of American films of 2021|sixth-highest-grossing film of 2021 in the United States]].<ref name="2021Boxoffice" />

Outside of North America, ''Eternals'' earned over $90.7 million within its opening weekend from 46 markets. It was number-one in nearly all of these markets.

=== Critical response ===
The [[review aggregator]] [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reports an approval rating of {{RT data|score}} based on {{RT data|count}} reviews, with an average rating of {{RT data|average}}. The website's critical consensus reads, "An ambitious superhero epic that soars as often as it strains, ''Eternals'' takes the MCU in intriguing—and occasionally confounding—new directions."<ref name="Rotten Tomatoes">{{cite Rotten Tomatoes|id=eternals|type=m|title=Eternals|access-date=February 15, 2023}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref>{{cite Metacritic|id=eternals|type=movie|title=Eternals Reviews|access-date=January 14, 2022}}</ref> Upon release, it became the lowest-rated MCU film on both websites and the first installment to be classified as "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes.<ref name="EternalsLowestRT" /> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, the lowest grade for an MCU film, and [[PostTrak]] reported 78% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely recommend it.<ref name="EternalsPostTrak" />

Charlotte O'Sullivan of the ''[[Evening Standard]]'' described the film as "lavish" and "ambitious", and praised the fight sequences as "astounding, beautifully paced and crammed with detail".<ref name="EveningStandardReview" /> Robert Abele of ''[[TheWrap]]'' commended the cinematography and felt "an earnestness to the operatic stakes".<ref name="TheWrapReview" /> Oliver Jones of the ''[[Observer.com|Observer]]'' called it "full of wonder and romance and fueled by an agenda and audacity all its own".<ref name="ObserverReview" /> [[Owen Gleiberman]] was disappointed over Zhao's missing filmmaking style that shaped her films ''[[The Rider (film)|The Rider]]'' (2017) and ''[[Nomadland (film)|Nomadland]]'' (2020) to "embrace the straight-up expository conventionality of Marvel filmmaking", but felt that the film was a "squarely fun and gratifying watch".<ref name="GleibermanVariety" /> Moira Macdonald of ''[[The Seattle Times]]'' thought "it's got some pretty slow spots midfilm and it's desperately in need of a bit more wit ... what it does have is a palpable, artful mood; this is a movie full of superheroes who spend time thinking and feeling, and of special effects that aren't just zippy but often delicately elegant".<ref name="TheSeattleTimesReview" />

Linda Marric of ''[[The Jewish Chronicle]]'' described it as "a mishmash of well-meaning, yet jarringly verbose and bafflingly incoherent nonsense which is only just about saved by some half decent performances";<ref name="TheJewishChronicleReview" /> Nicholas Barber of ''[[BBC Culture]]'' called Zhao's direction "workmanlike";<ref name="BBCReview" /> and Clarisse Loughrey of ''[[The Independent]]'' said that it "strives for the same expansive soulfulness" as ''Nomadland'' "but discovers there's room enough only for the occasional burst of it".<ref name="TheIndependentReview" /> Brian Truitt of ''[[USA Today]]'' praised Zhao's "penchant for naturalistic environments", but wrote that the narrative "struggles to juggle its many subplots and tries to do too much".<ref name="USATodayReview" /> Mark Kennedy of the [[Associated Press]] criticized the dialogue and fight scenes, but praised the visual effects and Nanjiani's performance.<ref name="AssociatedPressReview" /> Shirley Li of ''[[The Atlantic]]'' felt that "Zhao's delicate examination of her characters outshines ''Eternals''{{'}} duller and more convoluted moments".<ref name="TheAtlanticReview" />

[[Robbie Collin]] wrote the film was "constantly engaged in a kind of grit-toothed authenticity theatre, going out of its way to show you it's doing all the things proper cinema does, even though none of them bring any discernible benefit";<ref name="TheDailyTelegraphReview" /> [[Kevin Maher (writer)|Kevin Maher]] felt "a strange self-sabotaging energy at the heart";<ref name="TheTimesReview" /> and Steve Rose of ''[[The Guardian]]'' missed "the breezy wit of Marvel's best movies ... like coming into ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' cold without having seen any of the preceding installments".<ref name="TheGuardianReview" /> K. Austin Collins of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' felt that the film was "good at telling us where to look, at impressing us with its manufactured sense of grandeur", but lacked "any credible sense of what's actually worth seeing".<ref name="RollingStoneReview" /> [[Justin Chang]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' had a "depressing realization that you've just seen one of the more interesting movies Marvel will ever make, and hopefully the least interesting one Chloé Zhao will ever make".<ref name="LosAngelesTimesReview" /> Brian Lowry of [[CNN]] thought "the movie's structural flaws offset its stunning visuals and strong performances".<ref name="CNNReview" /> [[Kyle Smith (critic)|Kyle Smith]] of ''[[National Review]]'' was harsher, describing it as "one of the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite, and least human" of the MCU films.<ref name="SmithNationalReview" />

The mixed reception surprised some commentators, given the MCU's positive track record and the acclaim of Zhao's previous work. Richard Newby of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' wrote that "much of the criticism of Kirby's work", which was divisive for its subject matter and relationship to the wider [[Marvel Universe]], "has followed Zhao in her adaptation." He compared the divisive response to that of Zack Snyder's [[DC Extended Universe]] films ''Man of Steel'' and ''[[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]]'' (2016), writing that they and ''Eternals'' share "a deconstructive approach to superheroes and force them to question their purpose in the world, through meditative and melancholy narrative beats, and a tragic yet hopeful ending." This approach, he felt, subverted critics and audiences' expectations, which made them review the film more harshly.<ref name="THRDividing"/> Zhao addressed some of the criticisms of the film, believing some of the divisiveness came from everyone "having an existential crisis" because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the film being an "existential crisis, both for humanity and God". She also felt the reactions to how the film incorporated her filmmaking sensibilities with Marvel's were "a testament to how much we had merged with each other; how uncomfortable that might make people feel".<ref name="ZhaoCriticismResponse" />

===Accolades===
The film was given the Seal of Authentic Representation from the [[Ruderman Family Foundation]] for Ridloff's role as Makkari. The seal is given to films and series that feature actors with disabilities who have at least five lines of dialogue.<ref name="Ruderman" /> ''Eternals'' was also one of 28 films that received [[the ReFrame Stamp]] for 2021, awarded by the gender equity coalition [[ReFrame]] for films that are proven to have gender-balanced hiring.<ref name="ReFrame">{{cite web |last=Hipes |first=Patrick |title=ReFrame Stamp Recipients Hit 28 In 2021 Including Oscar Nominees 'CODA', 'Power Of The Dog', 'West Side Story' |url=https://deadline.com/2022/03/reframe-stamp-2021-movies-list-gender-balanced-1234962260/ |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |access-date=August 2, 2022 |date=March 1, 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220309080900/https://deadline.com/2022/03/reframe-stamp-2021-movies-list-gender-balanced-1234962260/ |archive-date=March 9, 2022}}</ref>

== Canceled Future ==
In October 2021, Zhao said she was open to making a sequel.<ref name="ZhaoPlaylistOct2021" /> The next month, Kaz and Ryan Firpo expressed interest in making a prequel series for Disney+ that would focus on one Eternal in a different time period each episode, such as an episode about Thena in Ancient Greece and one about Kingo in 1890s Mumbai where he balances his life as a film star with [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s [[Indian independence movement|campaign for India's independence]] from [[British Raj|British rule]]. They also felt there were opportunities to continue the film's story by further exploring Dane Whitman and showing the Eternals confronting the Celestials.<ref name="THRFirpoNov2021"/> Chan said in January 2022 that she would reprise the role of Sersi in the future.<ref name="ChanJan2022"/> Feige was asked about Styles's future in the MCU that July and said Marvel Studios was excited to further explore the characters Eros and Pip as part of the MCU's more cosmic stories.<ref name="FeigeHarryStylesJul2022" /> A month later, Oswalt said a sequel had been confirmed by Marvel Studios and Zhao was returning to direct. He hoped it would further explore Eros and Pip, and expressed interest in a spin-off film for the characters.<ref name="OswaltAug2022" /> In October, Moore said Marvel intended to bring back the Eternals characters in the future of the MCU.<ref name="MooreCharactersReturn" /> Nanjiani said the following month that he was unaware of a sequel and believed Oswalt was mistaken, but expressed interest in reprising his role as Kingo.<ref name="NanjianiUnclear" /> Don Lee's talent agency indicated in December that he would reprise his role as Gilgamesh in an ''Eternals'' sequel.<ref name="LeeDec2022" /> Oswalt clarified his statements in February 2023, saying a sequel was not in development at that time and that he had been misled.<ref name="OswaltNoSequel" />

== Broken Link? ==

I'm unable to access the second citation linked to the [[http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=24549| 2008 Toonzone reference]]. It may be a connection issue on my end, but it's the oldest retrieved source on the article, so it may be a broken link. This is my first Wiki edit, so I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do other than bring it to your attention.--[[User:ClassyIam|ClassyIam]] ([[User talk:ClassyIam|talk]]) 04:07, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

== Mention of similar films? ==

== Contradiction? ==

The line "seems to contradict the events of ''Secret of the furious five''" should be deleted. I've seen both shorts, Secrets of the Scroll and Secrets of the furious five, and i don't think that the first contradicts the events of the latter in any way. Secrets of the furious five shows how each of the five masters came to be masters, after been discovered by either Oogway, Shifu or any other character, but NEVER SHOWS THE FIVE OF THEM ACTUALLY GETTING TOGHETER FOR THE FIRST TIME. That is exclusively shown in Secrets of the croll, as an adult tigress gathers (by "mistake") the remaining four of the furious five to fight togheter for the first time against a common enemy and then namimg themselves "The Furious Five". I'll delete that line, if anyone has doubts, please, watch the two shorts first. — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Drumerwritter|Drumerwritter]] ([[User talk:Drumerwritter|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Drumerwritter|contribs]]) 03:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Following the adventures of the titular [[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po the Panda]] (primarily voiced by [[Jack Black]] and [[Mick Wingert]]), a [[giant panda]] who is improbably chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior and becomes a master of [[kung fu]], the franchise is set in a fantasy [[wuxia]] genre version of [[ancient China]] populated by [[anthropomorphic animal]]s. Although everyone initially doubts him, including Po himself, he proves himself worthy as he strives to fulfill his destiny.

The franchise consists mainly of four [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI-animated]] films: ''[[Kung Fu Panda (film)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 3]]'' (2016) and ''[[Kung Fu Panda 4]]'' (2024), as well as three television series: ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness]]'' (2011–2016), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny|The Paws of Destiny]]'' (2018–2019), and ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight|The Dragon Knight]]'' (2022–2023). The first two films were distributed by [[Paramount Pictures]], the third film was distributed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] and the fourth was distributed by [[Universal Pictures]], while the television series respectively aired on [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Nicktoons]], [[Amazon Prime Video|Amazon Prime]], and [[Netflix]]. Four [[short film]]s, ''[[Secrets of the Furious Five]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters|Secrets of the Masters]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll|Secrets of the Scroll]]'', and ''Panda Paws'' (both 2016), and a [[television special]], ''[[Kung Fu Panda Holiday]]'' (2010), have also been produced.

The franchise's first two features were nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Animated Feature|Oscars]] as well as numerous [[Annie Award]]s, the first television series won 11 [[Emmy Awards]] and the third television series won two [[Emmy Awards]]. All four films were critical and commercial successes,<ref>{{cite web|title=2011 WORLDWIDE GROSSES|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2011&p=.htm|website=Box Office Mojo|access-date=December 30, 2011}}</ref> grossing over $2 billion overall, making it the [[List of highest-grossing animated films|seventh highest-grossing animated film franchise]], while the second film was the highest-grossing film worldwide directed solely by a woman ([[Jennifer Yuh Nelson]]) until ''[[Wonder Woman (2017 film)|Wonder Woman]]'' (2017).

=== ''Kung Fu Panda'' (2008) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda (film){{!}}''Kung Fu Panda'' (film)}}
[[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po]], a clumsy panda bear, is a kung fu fanatic who lives in the Valley of Peace and works in his goose father Mr. Ping's noodle shop, unable to realize his dream of learning the art of kung fu. One day, a kung fu tournament is held for the elderly spiritual leader of the valley, Grand Master Oogway, to determine the identity of the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master capable of understanding the secret of the Dragon Scroll, which is said to contain the key to limitless power. Everyone in the valley expects the Dragon Warrior to be one of the Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane—a quintet of kung fu warriors trained by Master Shifu to protect the valley. To everyone's surprise, Oogway chooses Po, who has accidentally stumbled into the tournament arena after arriving late via fireworks explosion.

Refusing to believe that Po can be the Dragon Warrior, Shifu subjects Po to torturous training exercises in order to discourage him into quitting. Determined to change himself into someone he can respect, Po perseveres in his training and befriends the Furious Five, who had previously mocked Po for his lack of skill in kung fu. Po soon learns that the valley is being approached by Tai Lung, an evil kung fu warrior who has escaped from prison to take revenge for being denied the Dragon Scroll, and despairs he will be unable to defeat him. However, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of martial arts when motivated by food, and successfully trains him to learn kung fu. After his training is complete, Po is given the Dragon Scroll, which he discovers to be blank. However, Po realizes that the key to limitless power lies within himself, allowing him to defeat Tai Lung and restore peace to the valley.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 2'' (2011) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 2{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 2''}}
Po now lives his dream as a kung fu master and protects the Valley of Peace alongside the Furious Five. However, he is thrown into internal conflict when he begins having flashbacks of his mother and learns from Mr. Ping that he was adopted as an infant. Shortly after, Po and the Five are sent on a mission to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from using a newly developed weapon, the cannon, to conquer all of China and destroy kung fu tradition. Po remains tormented by thoughts of being abandoned by his real parents until he is guided by a wise old soothsayer to embrace his past, and remembers that his parents risked their lives to save him from Shen, who had set out to exterminate all pandas after learning of a prophecy that he would be defeated by "a warrior of black-and-white". Po achieves inner peace, which allows him to destroy Shen's new weapon, defeat Shen, and accept Mr. Ping as his father. However, during the last scene of the movie, it shows Po's biological father realizing his son is alive.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 3'' (2016) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 3{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 3''}}
Shortly after the events of the [[Kung Fu Panda 2|second film]], Shifu relinquishes his duties as master of the Jade Palace to Po, claiming that the next step of his own apprenticeship is to oversee the Furious Five's training. While struggling with this new responsibility, Po rejoices upon reuniting with his biological father, Li, though Mr. Ping is less enthusiastic. However, news arrives that the spirit warrior General Kai has returned to the mortal realm and is 'collecting' Kung Fu masters from all over China, both living and dead, to serve in his army of Jade Zombies. Po and the others discover from a scroll left by Oogway that Kai can only be defeated by the power of Chi, a technique known only by the panda colonies; thus, Po and Li set to the secret Panda Valley in order to have Po learn it. Po eventually discovers, to his horror, that Li had deceived him, because the pandas have long forgotten about how to manipulate the Chi, and he just wanted to protect his son from Kai. Once making amends with both his adoptive and biological fathers, Po joins forces with Ping, Tigress, and the pandas to make a stand against Kai, all mastering the power of Chi in the process and using its power to destroy him for good. After returning to the Valley of Peace, Po spends his days spreading the teachings of Kung fu and Chi.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 4'' (2024) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 4{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 4''}}

Shifu tasks Po to retire as the Dragon Warrior and find a successor as he must advance to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Disappointed, he struggles to find the right candidate angering Shifu. He later spots a thief named Zhen entering the Jade Palace and sends her to prison but soon learns that Tai Lung has returned. Zhen reveals that it wasn't actually Tai Lung but a shapeshifting sorceress named The Chameleon. Po decides to go after her and Zhen agrees to lead him to the Chameleon in exchange for a reduction of her sentence. They both head towards Juniper City and there, Po finds that Zhen is a wanted criminal, leading to both of them getting arrested. They successfully escape to the Den of Thieves where Zhen reunites with her old mentor Han who allows them to stay there for one day. Po and Zhen then enter Chameleon's lair, where Zhen betrays Po, takes the Staff of Wisdom and gives it to the Chameleon, who is revealed to be her master. Po manages to escape without the staff but Chameleon, who has shapeshifted into Zhen, throws him off of the cliff and Po gets saved by his adoptive and biological father. The Chameleon uses the staff to summon every martial arts master from the Spirit Realm, stealing their kung fu abilities and locking them in cages. Zhen decides to deflect away from Chameleon and reunites with Po. Zhen later manages to convince the Den of Thieves to help her out in saving Po. Zhen and Po defeat the Chameleon and return the stolen Kung fu to their masters. Po sends them back to the spirit realm with Tai Lung taking the Chameleon with him. At the Valley of Peace, Po chooses Zhen as the next Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five joins him in training her.

'''''Eternals''''' is a 2021 American [[superhero film]] based on the [[Marvel Comics]] race [[Eternals (comics)|of the same name]]. Produced by [[Marvel Studios]] and distributed by [[Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures]], it is [[List of Marvel Cinematic Universe films|the 26th film]] in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU). The film was directed by [[Chloé Zhao]], who wrote the screenplay with [[Patrick Burleigh]], Ryan Firpo, and [[Kaz Firpo]]. It stars an [[ensemble cast]] including [[Gemma Chan]], [[Richard Madden]], [[Kumail Nanjiani]], [[Lia McHugh]], [[Brian Tyree Henry]], [[Lauren Ridloff]], [[Barry Keoghan]], [[Ma Dong-seok|Don Lee]], [[Kit Harington]], [[Salma Hayek]], and [[Angelina Jolie]]. In the film, the Eternals, immortal alien beings, emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the [[Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Deviants]].

In April 2018, Marvel Studios president [[Kevin Feige]] announced that a film based on the Eternals was in development and would explore the group as [[ancient alien]]s living throughout human history. Ryan and Kaz Firpo were hired to write the script, and Zhao was set to direct in September. She was given significant creative freedom to rewrite the script, taking especial inspiration from [[Terrence Malick]]'s films, and to use more locations and natural lighting than previous MCU films had. Casting began in early 2019 and Burleigh joined to work on the script ahead of [[principal photography]], which took place from July 2019 to February 2020 at [[Pinewood Studios]] and on location in England and the [[Canary Islands]].

''Eternals'' premiered at the [[Dolby Theatre]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles]], on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5 as part of [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four|Phase Four]] of the MCU. The film grossed $402 million worldwide and received some awards and nominations, but it also became the first MCU film to not receive generally positive reviews. Particular criticism went to the screenplay and pacing, with commentators feeling it did not live up to Zhao's previous work or to previous MCU films. It received some praise for its themes and visuals.

== Plot ==

In 5000 BC, ten superpowered beings known as [[Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eternals]]—[[Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ajak]], [[Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sersi]], [[Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ikaris]], [[Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kingo]], [[Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sprite]], [[Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Phastos]], [[Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Makkari]], [[Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Druig]], [[Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Gilgamesh]], and [[Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thena]]—are sent to Earth by [[Arishem (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Arishem]], a [[Celestials (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Celestial]], on the [[starship]] ''[[Domo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Domo]]''. They are charged with exterminating invasive entities known as the [[Deviants (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Deviants]]. The last Deviant is killed in 1521 when the group's opinions differ over their continued relationship with humankind. Over the next 500 years, they mostly live apart, waiting for Arishem's orders.

In the present day, Sersi and Sprite live together in [[London]]. After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human [[Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dane Whitman]] who works at the [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]]. When the trio is attacked by the Deviant [[Kro (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kro]], Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.

Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the [[Features of the Marvel Cinematic Universe#Emergence|Emergence]] of a new Celestial. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the [[apex predator]]s of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when they evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the recent end of [[the Blip]] restoring Earth's population,{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019)}} humankind has reached the necessary size to allow the Celestial [[Tiamut]] to be born, which will result in Earth's destruction.

Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reunite. At Druig's residence in the [[Amazon rainforest]], they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes they use the Uni-Mind, a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his [[mind-control]] abilities. However, Ikaris is loyal to Arishem and refuses to help stop the Emergence. He reveals that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave.

Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an [[active volcano]] in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep, and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into marble. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but is unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind, and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into marble. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. Sersi uses the remaining Uni-Mind energy to turn Sprite into a human, ending her [[Puer aeternus|permanent childlike state]].

Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the ''Domo'' to warn Eternals on other planets of the Emergences. Whitman professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. He vows to return for judgment and takes the trio into a singularity.

In a [[mid-credits scene]], Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal [[Eros (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eros]] and his assistant [[Pip (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Pip the Troll]]. In a post-credits scene, an unseen person{{efn|Identified off-screen as [[Blade (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Blade]]<ref name="Blade" />}} questions whether Whitman is ready to wield the [[Ebony Blade]].

* [[Gemma Chan]] as [[Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sersi]]: An empathetic [[Eternals (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Eternal]] with a strong connection to humanity and the Earth, who can manipulate and transform matter through physical contact. Sersi has been in love with Ikaris for centuries and has a strong connection with Sprite. In the present day, she is a [[museum curator]] on Earth and dating Dane Whitman.<ref name="ChanVogue" /><ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> Producer [[Kevin Feige]] said Sersi was the lead character of the film.<ref name="FeigeApril2021" /> Director [[Chloé Zhao]] said she and Chan were interested in creating the kind of nuanced female superhero that they felt was rarely seen in the genre, and Zhao felt Chan had imbued the character with gentleness, compassion, and vulnerability that would "invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic".<ref name="ChanVogue" /> Chan said Sersi was free-spirited and loved being around humans.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" />
* [[Richard Madden]] as [[Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ikaris]]: A powerful Eternal who can fly and project cosmic energy beams from his eyes.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Speaking to the relationship between Ikaris and Sersi, Madden said the fact that they had loved each other for centuries showed a "deep level of romance" between the two. They are on opposing sides of how the Eternals connect to the world, with Sersi having compassion for humans while Ikaris is more disconnected.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> The biggest struggle for Madden was showing that Ikaris has "seen everything and done everything" without the character coming across as bored.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Zhao's take on Ikaris was influenced by director [[Zack Snyder]]'s [[Clark Kent (DC Extended Universe)|interpretation]] of [[Superman]] in ''[[Man of Steel (film)|Man of Steel]]'' (2013) which left a strong impression on her for its "authentic and very real" approach.<ref name="SupermanInfluence" />
* [[Kumail Nanjiani]] as [[Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kingo]]: An Eternal who can create cosmic energy projectiles. Enamored with fame, Kingo becomes a popular [[Bollywood]] film star to blend in on Earth.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="KingoBollywood" /> Nanjiani wanted to combine the wisecracking attitude of [[John McClane]] from the [[Die Hard (film series)|''Die Hard'' film series]] with the look of Bollywood actor [[Hrithik Roshan]],<ref name="Nanjiani2" /> and also studied [[Errol Flynn filmography|Errol Flynn films]] and some of the original [[Zorro#Films|''Zorro'' films]] to help emulate "old school Hollywood stars whose characters really enjoyed fighting". Nanjiani, who is not a dancer, grew up watching [[Bollywood dance]] sequences and spent several months training for the film's own such sequence in hopes of capturing the same energy and joy.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> He also underwent rigorous fitness training to build up muscle for his role.<ref name="NanjianiTraining" />
* [[Lia McHugh]] as [[Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sprite]]: An Eternal who can project life-like illusions. Sprite is in a [[Puer aeternus|permanent childlike state]], appearing as a young girl despite being thousands of years old. The film explores her struggles with this,<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> including her jealousy of humans who can grow old, know love, and have families.<ref name="VultureEEs" /> She has an unrequited love for Ikaris which Kingo compares to that of [[Tinker Bell]] for [[Peter Pan]]. Similarly, [[Neil Gaiman]] and [[John Romita Jr.]]'s [[Eternals (comics)#Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial|2006 ''Eternals'' comic book miniseries]] compared Sprite to the never-aging Peter Pan and gave them similar short, red hair, which the film also uses. The film ends with Sprite becoming human and being able to grow old.<ref name="SpritePeterPan" />
* [[Brian Tyree Henry]] as [[Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Phastos]]: An Eternal and an intelligent weapons and technology inventor.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> He is the first superhero to be depicted as gay in an MCU film.<ref name="SleimanFeb2020" />
* [[Lauren Ridloff]] as [[Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Makkari]]: An Eternal who can move at superhuman speed. The character is the first deaf superhero in the MCU.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> After starting to run more in anticipation of the role, she shifted to muscle building in order to have "the symmetry of somebody who looks like a sprinter".<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" />
* [[Barry Keoghan]] as [[Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Druig]]: An aloof Eternal who becomes frustrated with the inaction of the other Eternals in human affairs. He can manipulate the minds of others.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" />
* [[Ma Dong-seok|Don Lee]] as [[Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Gilgamesh]]: The strongest Eternal, with a deep connection to Thena.<ref name="EWCharactersAug2021" /> Lee pursued the role in order to be an inspiration to the younger generation as the first Korean superhero, and was able to utilize his boxing training for the role.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />
* [[Kit Harington]] as [[Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dane Whitman]]: A human who works at the [[Natural History Museum, London|Natural History Museum]] in London as a history professor and is dating Sersi.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /><ref name="HaringtonGamesRadar" />

== Production ==
=== Development ===
In April 2015, [[Marvel Television]] was working with screenwriter [[John Ridley]] to craft a new television series for [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], "reinventing" an existing Marvel character or property,<ref name="RidleySeries" /> which was revealed years later to be the [[Eternals (comics)|Eternals]].<ref name="RidleyEternalsSeries" /> Through its development, which ultimately had eventually been abandoned during the folding of Marvel Television in December 2019,<ref name="MarvelTVFolded" /><ref name="RidleyEternalsSeries" /> Ridley stated that he was trying to make a superhero television series that viewers had not necessarily seen before, with hopes that it could occupy "a space that [was] not currently being filled" by Marvel.<ref name="RidleyIGNJan2017" /> His approach to the characters would have been "a really weird story", though he stated the characters are "a really hard property" to adapt while conceding that while he believed his series would have been good it may not have been entertaining for everyone.<ref name="RidleyEternalsSeries" />

[[Marvel Studios]] president [[Kevin Feige]] said in April 2018 that the studio was actively developing a film based on the [[Marvel Comics]] series ''Eternals'', created by [[Jack Kirby]], to be released as part of their [[Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase Four|Phase Four]] slate of films. Marvel Studios had met with multiple screenwriters, and was believed to be focusing on the character [[Sersi (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sersi]] in the film.<ref name="FeigeApr2018" /> Marvel set Ryan and [[Kaz Firpo]] to write the script a month later,<ref name="Firpos" /> with their outline including a love story between the characters Sersi and [[Ikaris (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ikaris]].<ref name="Zhao" /> In June, Feige said Marvel was interested in exploring the "[[ancient alien]]s kind of sci-fi trope" by having the Eternals be the inspiration for myths and legends throughout the history of the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]] (MCU).<ref name="FeigeJun2018" />

[[File:Chloe Zhao by Gage Skidmore.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Director [[Chloé Zhao]] promoting ''Eternals'' at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con]]
During late August, Marvel's director search for ''Eternals'' narrowed to a shortlist that included [[Chloé Zhao]]—who had also been in the running to direct Marvel's ''[[Black Widow (2021 film)|Black Widow]]'' (2021)—[[Nicole Kassell]], [[Travis Knight]], and the pair of [[Cristina Gallego]] and [[Ciro Guerra]].<ref name="Zhao" /> Zhao approached Marvel Studios about making the film as she had been a fan of the MCU. She wanted to work with the studio to bring her own take and world-building to the franchise,<ref name="ZhaoDec2020" /> and impressed them with a presentation that Feige described as fascinating, with "reams of visuals".<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> Zhao worked with producer [[Nate Moore (film producer)|Nate Moore]] to develop her pitch.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> The presentation left Marvel concerned that she might take on a different big-studio project instead of ''Eternals'', forcing them to move quickly to secure her, and Zhao was hired as director in September.<ref name="Zhao" /><ref name="Zhao2" /> Zhao hoped to push the scope of the film further than Marvel's ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019),<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> but also wanted it to have intimacy.<ref name="ZhaoWriterJan2021" /> Zhao described the film as a melting pot of influences, from Kirby's original work, [[Neil Gaiman]]'s [[Eternals (comics)#Memory loss and the Dreaming Celestial|2006 run]], previous MCU projects, Zhao's fandom of the MCU, and her love of science fiction and fantasy films and [[manga]].<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Speaking specifically to her love of manga, she hoped those influences would create a "marriage of East and West".<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> Zhao cited the TV series ''[[Ancient Aliens]]'', the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' video game series, the concepts from [[Yuval Noah Harari]]'s book ''[[Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind]]'', and the films of [[Terrence Malick]] as her inspirations for the film.<ref name="ZhaoNov2020" />

Marvel considered ''Eternals'' to be a perfect transition into its next phase of films along with projects such as ''[[Captain Marvel (film)|Captain Marvel]]'' (2019),<ref name="Zhao2" /> allowing the studio to cast a diverse group of actors to portray the various Eternals.<ref name="Zhao" /> Moore's initial planning documents for the project including the swapping of genders, sexualities, and ethnicities of some characters from the comic books, with Zhao further advocating for this approach.<ref name="FeigeApril2021" /> In February 2019, Feige reiterated that Marvel was interested in the Eternals due to Kirby's epic, century-spanning story,<ref name="FeigeFeb2019" /> with the film version spanning 7,000 years and exploring humanity's place in the cosmos.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Zhao noted that the Eternals "have lived among us for so long, [they have] the same struggles like identity, purpose, faith, personal freedom versus greater good — all the duality and flaws that make us human". When trying to develop a story that spanned so many years, Marvel realized that the characters would likely be a family unit, with friendship that would "turn into frenemies, and then turn into enemies, and then come back to friendship". Zhao also looked to the Earth as an eleventh character in the film, chronicling its journey alongside the Eternal characters.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> Marvel also wanted to create more ensemble films that were not crossover films, like ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'' (2014), while introducing relatively unknown characters to audiences as they did with [[Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)|that film's title characters]] and the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]].<ref name="FeigeFeb2019" />

=== Pre-production ===
{{Quote box|width=33%|align=right|quote="I wanted it to reflect the world we live in. But also I wanted to put a cast together that feels like a group of misfits. I didn't want the jocks. I want you to walk away at the end of the movie not thinking, 'This person is this ethnicity, that person is that nationality.' No. I want you to walk away thinking, 'That's a family.' You don't think about what they represent."|source=—Zhao on the diverse cast of the film<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" />}}

Throughout early 2019, Zhao began working on a draft of the script, building upon the multiple drafts submitted by the Firpos. Approximately four months ahead of filming, the script was not finalized, so Moore introduced [[Patrick Burleigh]], who had been part of Marvel's writers program, to Zhao in the hopes he could assist with the writing. Zhao hired him to work on the screenplay, which he did for about three months ahead of filming. Burleigh believed Zhao needed to write on the film as well as direct to "process the film through her own filter", and noted her draft showed she was "trying to make the Terrence Malick version of a Marvel film"; Zhao citing his film ''[[The Tree of Life (film)|The Tree of Life]]'' (2011) as an inspiration. Burleigh called his work with Zhao on the script mostly "structural" to find "the flow of the film", likening the story to a [[Road movie|road trip film]].<ref name="BurleighTHR" />

[[Angelina Jolie]] joined the cast in March 2019, reportedly as Sersi,<ref name="Jolie" /><ref name="Nanjiani" /> with [[Kumail Nanjiani]] and [[Ma Dong-seok|Don Lee]] cast in undisclosed roles the next month.<ref name="Nanjiani" /><ref name="Ma" /> At that time, the film was expected to feature Marvel Studios' first gay superhero.<ref name="Ma2" /> In May, [[Richard Madden]] entered negotiations for the role of Ikaris,<ref name="MaddenTalks" /> and [[Salma Hayek]] had entered early negotiations for an undisclosed role the following month.<ref name="Hayek" /> In July, ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' reported that the cast included Jolie, Madden, and [[Millie Bobby Brown]], but Brown denied that she had been cast.<ref name="Brown" /><ref name="NoBrown" />

At the 2019 [[San Diego Comic-Con]], Feige officially announced ''The Eternals'' with a release date of November 6, 2020. He officially announced the casting of Jolie as [[Thena (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thena]], Nanjiani as [[Kingo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Kingo]], Lee as [[Gilgamesh (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Gilgamesh]], Madden as Ikaris, and Hayek as [[Ajak (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ajak]], along with [[Lauren Ridloff]] as [[Makkari (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Makkari]], [[Brian Tyree Henry]] as [[Phastos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Phastos]], and [[Lia McHugh]] as [[Sprite (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Sprite]].<ref name="McHugh" /> Zhao looked for actors for each role that could "find a bit of themselves in their character".<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" /> Feige added that one of these actors was portraying an LGBTQ character,<ref name="LGBTQ" /> with actor [[Haaz Sleiman]] later revealing that Phastos is depicted as gay in the film. Sleiman portrays the character's husband, and the pair have a child in the film. Sleiman felt it was important to depict "how loving and beautiful a queer family can be" rather than the "sexual or rebellious" depiction in some previous media.<ref name="SleimanFeb2020" /> Feige said the relationship was "always sort of inherent in the story" and he felt it was "extremely well done" in the film,<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> while Sleiman said it was a "thoughtful" depiction.<ref name="SleimanJan2021" />

''Eternals'' is set around eight months after the events of ''Avengers: Endgame'',<ref name="EternalsTimeline" /> and addresses why the Eternals did not interfere in any past conflicts in the MCU. Both Feige and Moore said the film would have "major ripple effects" on the future of the MCU, and at times, it was "a challenge" to balance the grounded nature of the MCU with the "mythic grandeur" of the Eternals property.<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />

=== Filming ===
By the film's official announcement in July 2019, [[principal photography]] had begun at [[Pinewood Studios]] in [[Buckinghamshire]], England.<ref name="FilmingStart" /><ref name="PinewoodStudios" /> [[Ben Davis (cinematographer)|Ben Davis]] served as director of photography, after doing so on several previous MCU films.<ref name="FeigeApril2021" /><ref name="Davis" /> Zhao said Marvel Studios allowed her creative freedom to shoot the film on location, "exactly the way [she] wanted to shoot" it. She was able to use a similar style to her previous films, including 360° shots and working with the same camera and rigs as were used for her film ''[[Nomadland (film)|Nomadland]]'' (2020),<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> which Zhao was set to complete [[Back-to-back film production|back-to-back]] with ''The Eternals''.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Zhao felt that she "got lucky in that Marvel wants to take risks and do something different."<ref name="ZhaoSept2020" /> Zhao cited ''[[The Revenant (2015 film)|The Revenant]]'' (2015) as a primary influence when composing the film's action sequences.<ref name="ZhaoRevenantInfluence" />

[[Gemma Chan]] and [[Barry Keoghan]] were in talks to join the cast in August 2019.<ref name="Chan" /><ref name="Keoghan" /> Chan previously portrayed [[Minn-Erva (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Minn-Erva]] in ''Captain Marvel'', but reports noted that she was potentially being looked at by Marvel to play a separate character in this film.<ref name="Chan" /> Since Minn-Erva dies in that film, Chan had felt that it was unlikely she would return to the MCU, but after working on the film she was told by Feige that the studio wanted to "make better use" of her in a future project. This led to Chan auditioning for Sersi, one of the last actresses to be considered for the role. Chan later described Sersi as the most difficult role for the film to cast.<ref name="ChanTHRDec2020" /> Chan and Keoghan were confirmed to be cast in the film at the [[D23 (Disney)|D23 Expo]] in August, in the roles of Sersi and [[Druig (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Druig]], respectively, along with [[Kit Harington]] as [[Dane Whitman (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Dane Whitman]].<ref name="D232019" /> Chan said she and Marvel Studios were surprised by how soon after ''Captain Marvel'' her new MCU role came, with both assuming that it would have been a project further in the future.<ref name="ChanTHRDec2020" /> [[Harish Patel]] was cast at the end of August as [[Karun Patel|Karun]], Kingo's manager,<ref name="PatelNews18" /><ref name="PatelHindustanTimes" /> and filmed his role from September 2019 until January 2020.<ref name="PatelNews18" />

By early November, filming took place in the [[Canary Islands]]. The filming cast and crew, including Jolie and Madden, had to be evacuated from a shooting location on the island of [[Fuerteventura]] when an explosive device was found there. The device was thought to be a remnant armament from a Nazi base.<ref name="Canary" /> Later that month, [[Zain Al Rafeea]] joined the cast.<ref name="Rafeea" /><ref name="Rafeea2" /> In early January 2020, filming took place outside the [[Oxford University Museum of Natural History]] in [[Oxford]], England,<ref name="Oxford" /> as well as [[Hampstead Heath]] and in [[Camden Town|Camden]] in London,<ref name="London" /><ref name="Camden" /> under the [[working title]] ''Sack Lunch''.<ref name="Camden" /><ref name="WorkingTitle" /> Chan said the filming process felt very different from what she experienced on ''Captain Marvel'', explaining that ''Eternals'' shot more on location and utilized natural light while ''Captain Marvel'' had more studio work and bluescreen.<ref name="ChanTHRDec2020" /> Filming [[Wrap (filmmaking)|wrapped]] on February 4, 2020.<ref name="Wrap" />

=== Post-production ===
In March 2020, [[Scanline VFX]], one of the companies working on the film's visual effects, confirmed that they would be working remotely due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref name="ScanLineVFX" /> [[Industrial Light & Magic]], [[Luma Pictures]], [[Rise FX|RISE]], and [[WetaFX|Weta Digital]] also worked on the film's visual effects.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.artofvfx.com/eternals/|title=Eternals - The Art of VFX|first=Vincent|last=Frei|website=Art of VFX|date=October 25, 2021|access-date=July 7, 2022|archive-date=November 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211109013833/https://www.artofvfx.com/eternals/|url-status=live}}</ref> In early April, Disney shifted much of their Phase Four slate of films due to the pandemic, moving ''The Eternals''{{'}} release date to February 12, 2021.<ref name="Phase4Delay" /> In August, the film's title was officially shortened from ''The Eternals'' to ''Eternals'',<ref name="NoThe" /> and the next month, the release date was pushed back to November 5, 2021.<ref name="Phase4DelayAgain" /> Reshoots had taken place by mid-November 2020.<ref name="RidloffReshoots" />

Additional filming occurred in [[Los Angeles]] in early February, also under the working title ''Sack Lunch''.<ref name="Feb7LAFilming" /> [[Dylan Tichenor]] and [[Craig Wood (film editor)|Craig Wood]] serve as co-editors of the film.<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> Tichenor said Zhao usually edits her own films and has "strong opinions", but on ''Eternals'' she was relying on Tichenor and Wood due to the size of the production and the ongoing awards season for ''Nomadland''. Tichenor added that Zhao respected the pair's editing experience and point of view, and they made their first cut of the film without much input from her. They began adjusting the film based on Zhao's feedback, and were still working on the editing in April 2021.<ref name="TichenorWood" /> At the end of the month, Zhao said editing for the film was in its "final stretch",<ref name="ZhaoApril2021" /> and Jashaun St. John was revealed to appear in the film, after previously starring in Zhao's film ''[[Songs My Brothers Taught Me]]'' (2015).<ref name="StJohn" />

At the end of May 2021, with the release of the first teaser trailer and poster for the film, the official writing credits were revealed: Zhao was credited as the screenwriter, both as a solo contributor and as part of a writing team with Burleigh, while Ryan and Kaz Firpo received story credit.<ref name="VarietyTeaser" /><ref name="PosterCredits" /> Additionally, [[Gil Birmingham]] was revealed to have been cast in the film,<ref name="Birmingham" /> although he was absent in the final film.{{citation needed|date=May 2023}} In July 2021, [[Writers Guild of America West]] presented the film's final writing credits, awarding Ryan and Kaz Firpo screenplay credit along with Zhao and the team of Zhao and Burleigh, in addition to their story credit.<ref name="WGA" /><ref name="BurleighTHR" /> Moore believed the studio had "bit off as much as we could chew" with the film, creating one that "felt urgent and present and had [a fast] pace, but also took time to reflect back over the centuries".<ref name="EWCoverStoryAug2021" />

At the film's world premiere, Matt Donnelly of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' tweeted that [[Harry Styles]] made an appearance in a [[post-credits scene]] as [[Starfox (comics)|Eros]], [[Thanos (comics)|Thanos]]' brother in the comics, which was not shown in early press screenings of the film.<ref name="StylesEros" /> Zhao later revealed that she "kept tabs on [Styles]" since his appearance in ''[[Dunkirk (2017 film)|Dunkirk]]'' (2017), believing that he "makes me think of Eros as a character".<ref name="ZhaoCastingStyles" /> [[WWE]] wrestler [[Becky Lynch]] had a role in the film for a planned post-credits scene that was intended to set up a future project. The scene was removed for being reportedly "too depressing".<ref name="BeckyLynch" />

The first footage of the film was released in May 2021 as part of a promotional video from Marvel Studios celebrating their films and a return to movie theaters.<ref name="VergeSizzleFootage" /><ref name="NerdistSizzleFootage" /> Though the footage was limited and "vague", Hoai-Tran Bui at ''[[/Film]]'' still felt it was "very exciting".<ref name="/FilmSizzleFootage" /> Chaim Gartenberg of ''[[The Verge]]'' felt one of the biggest moments of the footage was seeing Jolie wielding a sword made of light. He was also encouraged that ''Eternals'' appeared to be one of Marvel's first films to "deliver on [their] years-long promise of creating films with more diverse casts".<ref name="VergeSizzleFootage" /> ''[[Nerdist Industries|Nerdist]]''{{'s}} Michael Arbeiter said the footage was quick, but felt that it "manages an air of wonderment".<ref name="NerdistSizzleFootage" />

The first teaser for the film was released on May 24, 2021. Gartenberg felt the teaser was light on plot elements, with it instead focusing on the "civilization-spanning scope of the superhero team and its members throughout human history". He also believed the film was "a big swing" from Marvel Studios to entice audiences with a lesser-known comics property, but believed that it would succeed due to its diverse cast of well-known actors and Zhao's status as "one of the most exciting directors around".<ref name="VergeTeaser" /> ''[[io9]]''{{'s}} Charlies Pulliam-Moore felt the trailer was a "multiple millennia-spanning recap of Earth's history", and said it was unclear how much the larger MCU would impact on the film outside of a brief reference to the Avengers at the end of the trailer.<ref name="io9Teaser" /> Writing for ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', Nick Romano felt the teaser was a combination of "thrilling, goosebump-inducing moments" and some jokes.<ref name="EWTeaser" /> Erik Adams of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' felt the spot teased some fresh angles for the MCU in a similar way to ''[[Thor: Ragnarok]]'' (2017) and ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' (2014), and he enjoyed the images of Kingo's Bollywood dance, Sprite performing karaoke, and the end scene of the Eternals eating together and joking about the Avengers.<ref name="AVClubTeaser" /> After seeing the teaser, ''Variety''{{'s}} Adam B. Vary described the film as "unquestionably a Chloé Zhao movie", but wished more action set pieces were featured in the teaser to see how Zhao would approach them in the film.<ref name="VarietyTeaser" /> Adele Ankers of ''[[IGN]]'' discussed the poster that was released at the same time as the trailer, highlighting how the Eternals appear in silhouette against a sunlit background which she described as "another taste of Chloé Zhao's signature filming style and the use of natural light to illuminate a frame" that would be seen in the film.<ref name="IGNTeaserPoster" /> Upon release, the teaser quickly became the number one trending video on [[YouTube]] and amassed 77 million global views in its first 24 hours.<ref name="TeaserViews" /> Disney's president of marketing Asad Ayaz said the teaser was designed to just be an introduction to the characters and tone and not give much of the film away, adding the marketing team would be "very judicious" on when more material would be revealed, while also using the releases of ''Black Widow'' and ''[[Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings]]'' before ''Eternals'' to help expose audiences to the characters.<ref name="AyazJun2021" />

The final trailer was released in August 2021, with Ethan Shanfeld and Manori Ravindran of ''Variety'' feeling it was "more serious in tone" than the teaser with the Eternals "grappling with the prospect of emerging after centuries living apart in order to help humans".<ref name="VarietyFinalTrailer" /> ''Entertainment Weekly''{{'s}} Devan Coggan felt that the trailer was the "best glimpse yet" of the film and gave a "sense of the vast scale and scope of the film", while answering "one important question" about the absence of the Eternals during the conflict against [[Thanos (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Thanos]] in ''Avengers: Infinity War'' and ''Avengers: Endgame''.<ref name="EWFinalTrailer" /> Aaron Couch at ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' said the trailer "reveals much of [the film's] plot as well as its characters' powers, teasing the answers to key questions about who the Eternals answer to, their relationship to Earth and why they ultimately didn't intervene" in the conflict against Thanos.<ref name="THRFinalTrailer" />

In October 2021, [[Lexus]] released a commercial promoting the film and its [[Lexus IS|Lexus IS 500]] sports sedan starring Nanjiani as Kingo, with frequent MCU directors [[Russo brothers|Joe and Anthony Russo]] guiding its development and [[Framestore]] working on the visual effects.<ref name="Lexus" /> Lexus created ten [[concept cars]] based on the ten Eternals characters from the film.<ref name="LexusConcept" /> The [[Lexus LS|LS 500h]] and [[Lexus NX|NX]] are featured in the film.<ref name="Lexus" /> Beginning on November 20, 2021, select costumes from the film were part of the ''Futures'' exhibit at the [[Smithsonian Institution]]'s [[Arts and Industries Building]], which ran through July 2022.

''Eternals'' had its world premiere at the [[Dolby Theatre]] in [[Hollywood, Los Angeles]], on October 18, 2021,<ref name="WorldPremiere" /> and was screened at the [[Rome Film Festival]] on October 24.<ref name="RomeFilmFest" /> The film was released theatrically in many European countries on November 3, and in the United States and the United Kingdom on November 5 in [[RealD 3D]] and [[4DX]].<ref name="RomeFilmFest" /> In September 2021, Disney announced that the film would have an exclusive theatrical release for a minimum of 45 days.<ref name="45DayTheatricalRelease" /> ''Eternals'' was previously set for release on November 6, 2020,<ref name="MarvelSDCC" /> before it was shifted to February 12, 2021,<ref name="Phase4Delay" /> and then to the November 2021 date, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<ref name="Phase4DelayAgain" /> It is part of Phase Four of the MCU.<ref name="PhaseFour" />

==== Censorship ====
In May 2021, a Chinese state media report excluded ''Eternals'', as well as ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'', from its list of upcoming MCU films releasing, which ''Variety'' noted "added to rumors" that the films would not be released in China, especially since Zhao had become "an unexpected ''[[persona non grata]]''" in the country after she was scrutinized by Chinese [[netizens]] over her remarks in a 2013 interview with ''[[Filmmaker (magazine)|Filmmaker]]'' magazine in which she described China as "a place where there are lies everywhere".<ref name="VarietyChinaReleaseMay2021" /><ref name="VarietyGoldenGlobesMarch2021" /><ref name="SouthChinaMorningPostApril2021" /> By September 2021, ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'' reported it remained "an open question" if the Chinese government or Zhao would attempt to "rehabilitate" the situation, but it "seems likely" the film would not be released in China following the country's response to ''Nomadland'' as well as ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'' likely not being released in the country either following backlash to comments made by star [[Simu Liu]] in 2017.<ref name="DeadlineChinaReleaseSep2021" />

The film was not released in [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Kuwait]], [[Qatar]], [[Bahrain]] and [[Oman]] due to the depiction of a gay couple. Theaters in the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Jordan]], [[Lebanon]] and [[Egypt]] were set to show an edited version of the film which is missing all the love scenes.<ref name="MiddleEastBan" /> Angelina Jolie criticized the countries' decision to ban the film, saying: "I'm sad for [those audiences]. And I'm proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don't understand how we live in a world today where there's still [people who] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn't approve or appreciate it is ignorant."<ref name="JolieGayScenes" /> Lebanese actor [[Haaz Sleiman]], who played Phastos' husband Ben in the film, also voiced the same reaction towards the matter: "They stood their ground and said, 'Nope, we are not going to compromise the integrity of our film.' It made these Arab countries {{sic|looks}} so ignorant and pathetic. I have no respect for those governments. They have displayed to the world that they are not only a disgrace to humanity, but to God. Hopefully this will inspire the Saudi people, the Kuwaiti people and the people in Qatar to fight back."<ref name="MiddleEast" /> Marvel later agreed to cut any kind of love scenes, including the gay couple kiss for the film's release in [[Indonesia]], which received praise by the Indonesian Film Censorship Board (LSF).<ref name="IndoCensor" />

Advanced ticket sales for ''Eternals'' were estimated to be $2.6 million in its first 24 hours, outpacing those for ''Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'' ($1.4 million) and ''Black Widow'' ($2 million) during the same time frame, while [[AMC Theatres]] had the largest first day sales of 2021 for the film.<ref name="DeadlineAdvanceTickets" /> In November, [[Fandango Media|Fandango]] reported that pre-sales for ''Eternals'' were second-largest of 2021, behind ''Black Widow''.<ref name="FandangoProjections" /> In October, ''[[Boxoffice Pro]]'' initially projected that the film would earn $82–102 million within its opening weekend, and around $210–280 million in total domestic box office.<ref name="BoxofficeProProjections" /> At the end of the month, ''Boxoffice Pro'' modified their projections to $67–92 million for the film's opening weekend, and around $165–215 million in total domestic box office, due to mixed early critical reception.<ref name="BoxofficeProProjections2" /> According to ''[[Deadline Hollywood]]'', ''Eternals'' was expected to earn $75 million within its domestic opening weekend, and around $150 million globally.<ref name="WorldwideOpening" />

==== Performance ====
In the United States and Canada, ''Eternals'' earned $30.7 million in its opening day, which included $9.5 million from Thursday night previews, marking the third-largest opening day of the pandemic, behind ''Black Widow'' and ''[[Venom: Let There Be Carnage]]''. Its opening weekend earned $71.3 million from 5.5 million theater admissions, making it the top film of the weekend.<ref name="BoxOfficeMojo" /> IMAX accounted for over $7.6 million of the weekend. This marked the fourth-largest opening weekend of the pandemic. The domestic opening weekend gross was lower than various pre-release projections. ''Deadline'' attributed this to the film's overall mixed reception from critics and audiences.<ref name="EternalsPostTrak" /> In its second weekend, ''Eternals'' remained the top film, grossing over $27.5 million.<ref name="BO2ndWknd" /> ''Eternals'' became the [[List of American films of 2021|sixth-highest-grossing film of 2021 in the United States]].<ref name="2021Boxoffice" />

=== Critical response ===
The [[review aggregator]] [[Rotten Tomatoes]] reports an approval rating of {{RT data|score}} based on {{RT data|count}} reviews, with an average rating of {{RT data|average}}. The website's critical consensus reads, "An ambitious superhero epic that soars as often as it strains, ''Eternals'' takes the MCU in intriguing—and occasionally confounding—new directions."<ref name="Rotten Tomatoes">{{cite Rotten Tomatoes|id=eternals|type=m|title=Eternals|access-date=February 15, 2023}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".<ref>{{cite Metacritic|id=eternals|type=movie|title=Eternals Reviews|access-date=January 14, 2022}}</ref> Upon release, it became the lowest-rated MCU film on both websites and the first installment to be classified as "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes.<ref name="EternalsLowestRT" /> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale, the lowest grade for an MCU film, and [[PostTrak]] reported 78% of audience members gave it a positive score, with 60% saying they would definitely recommend it.<ref name="EternalsPostTrak" />

Charlotte O'Sullivan of the ''[[Evening Standard]]'' described the film as "lavish" and "ambitious", and praised the fight sequences as "astounding, beautifully paced and crammed with detail".<ref name="EveningStandardReview" /> Robert Abele of ''[[TheWrap]]'' commended the cinematography and felt "an earnestness to the operatic stakes".<ref name="TheWrapReview" /> Oliver Jones of the ''[[Observer.com|Observer]]'' called it "full of wonder and romance and fueled by an agenda and audacity all its own".<ref name="ObserverReview" /> [[Owen Gleiberman]] was disappointed over Zhao's missing filmmaking style that shaped her films ''[[The Rider (film)|The Rider]]'' (2017) and ''[[Nomadland (film)|Nomadland]]'' (2020) to "embrace the straight-up expository conventionality of Marvel filmmaking", but felt that the film was a "squarely fun and gratifying watch".<ref name="GleibermanVariety" /> Moira Macdonald of ''[[The Seattle Times]]'' thought "it's got some pretty slow spots midfilm and it's desperately in need of a bit more wit ... what it does have is a palpable, artful mood; this is a movie full of superheroes who spend time thinking and feeling, and of special effects that aren't just zippy but often delicately elegant".<ref name="TheSeattleTimesReview" />

Linda Marric of ''[[The Jewish Chronicle]]'' described it as "a mishmash of well-meaning, yet jarringly verbose and bafflingly incoherent nonsense which is only just about saved by some half decent performances";<ref name="TheJewishChronicleReview" /> Nicholas Barber of ''[[BBC Culture]]'' called Zhao's direction "workmanlike";<ref name="BBCReview" /> and Clarisse Loughrey of ''[[The Independent]]'' said that it "strives for the same expansive soulfulness" as ''Nomadland'' "but discovers there's room enough only for the occasional burst of it".<ref name="TheIndependentReview" /> Brian Truitt of ''[[USA Today]]'' praised Zhao's "penchant for naturalistic environments", but wrote that the narrative "struggles to juggle its many subplots and tries to do too much".<ref name="USATodayReview" /> Mark Kennedy of the [[Associated Press]] criticized the dialogue and fight scenes, but praised the visual effects and Nanjiani's performance.<ref name="AssociatedPressReview" /> Shirley Li of ''[[The Atlantic]]'' felt that "Zhao's delicate examination of her characters outshines ''Eternals''{{'}} duller and more convoluted moments".<ref name="TheAtlanticReview" />

[[Robbie Collin]] wrote the film was "constantly engaged in a kind of grit-toothed authenticity theatre, going out of its way to show you it's doing all the things proper cinema does, even though none of them bring any discernible benefit";<ref name="TheDailyTelegraphReview" /> [[Kevin Maher (writer)|Kevin Maher]] felt "a strange self-sabotaging energy at the heart";<ref name="TheTimesReview" /> and Steve Rose of ''[[The Guardian]]'' missed "the breezy wit of Marvel's best movies ... like coming into ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' cold without having seen any of the preceding installments".<ref name="TheGuardianReview" /> K. Austin Collins of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' felt that the film was "good at telling us where to look, at impressing us with its manufactured sense of grandeur", but lacked "any credible sense of what's actually worth seeing".<ref name="RollingStoneReview" /> [[Justin Chang]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' had a "depressing realization that you've just seen one of the more interesting movies Marvel will ever make, and hopefully the least interesting one Chloé Zhao will ever make".<ref name="LosAngelesTimesReview" /> Brian Lowry of [[CNN]] thought "the movie's structural flaws offset its stunning visuals and strong performances".<ref name="CNNReview" /> [[Kyle Smith (critic)|Kyle Smith]] of ''[[National Review]]'' was harsher, describing it as "one of the dumbest, cheesiest, most trite, and least human" of the MCU films.<ref name="SmithNationalReview" />

The mixed reception surprised some commentators, given the MCU's positive track record and the acclaim of Zhao's previous work. Richard Newby of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' wrote that "much of the criticism of Kirby's work", which was divisive for its subject matter and relationship to the wider [[Marvel Universe]], "has followed Zhao in her adaptation." He compared the divisive response to that of Zack Snyder's [[DC Extended Universe]] films ''Man of Steel'' and ''[[Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice]]'' (2016), writing that they and ''Eternals'' share "a deconstructive approach to superheroes and force them to question their purpose in the world, through meditative and melancholy narrative beats, and a tragic yet hopeful ending." This approach, he felt, subverted critics and audiences' expectations, which made them review the film more harshly.<ref name="THRDividing"/> Zhao addressed some of the criticisms of the film, believing some of the divisiveness came from everyone "having an existential crisis" because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the film being an "existential crisis, both for humanity and God". She also felt the reactions to how the film incorporated her filmmaking sensibilities with Marvel's were "a testament to how much we had merged with each other; how uncomfortable that might make people feel".<ref name="ZhaoCriticismResponse" />

===Accolades===
The film was given the Seal of Authentic Representation from the [[Ruderman Family Foundation]] for Ridloff's role as Makkari. The seal is given to films and series that feature actors with disabilities who have at least five lines of dialogue.<ref name="Ruderman" /> ''Eternals'' was also one of 28 films that received [[the ReFrame Stamp]] for 2021, awarded by the gender equity coalition [[ReFrame]] for films that are proven to have gender-balanced hiring.<ref name="ReFrame">{{cite web |last=Hipes |first=Patrick |title=ReFrame Stamp Recipients Hit 28 In 2021 Including Oscar Nominees 'CODA', 'Power Of The Dog', 'West Side Story' |url=https://deadline.com/2022/03/reframe-stamp-2021-movies-list-gender-balanced-1234962260/ |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |access-date=August 2, 2022 |date=March 1, 2022 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220309080900/https://deadline.com/2022/03/reframe-stamp-2021-movies-list-gender-balanced-1234962260/ |archive-date=March 9, 2022}}</ref>

=== ''Kung Fu Panda'' (2008) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda (film){{!}}''Kung Fu Panda'' (film)}}
[[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po]], a clumsy panda bear, is a kung fu fanatic who lives in the Valley of Peace and works in his goose father Mr. Ping's noodle shop, unable to realize his dream of learning the art of kung fu. One day, a kung fu tournament is held for the elderly spiritual leader of the valley, Grand Master Oogway, to determine the identity of the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master capable of understanding the secret of the Dragon Scroll, which is said to contain the key to limitless power. Everyone in the valley expects the Dragon Warrior to be one of the Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane—a quintet of kung fu warriors trained by Master Shifu to protect the valley. To everyone's surprise, Oogway chooses Po, who has accidentally stumbled into the tournament arena after arriving late via fireworks explosion.

Refusing to believe that Po can be the Dragon Warrior, Shifu subjects Po to torturous training exercises in order to discourage him into quitting. Determined to change himself into someone he can respect, Po perseveres in his training and befriends the Furious Five, who had previously mocked Po for his lack of skill in kung fu. Po soon learns that the valley is being approached by Tai Lung, an evil kung fu warrior who has escaped from prison to take revenge for being denied the Dragon Scroll, and despairs he will be unable to defeat him. However, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of martial arts when motivated by food, and successfully trains him to learn kung fu. After his training is complete, Po is given the Dragon Scroll, which he discovers to be blank. However, Po realizes that the key to limitless power lies within himself, allowing him to defeat Tai Lung and restore peace to the valley.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 2'' (2011) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 2{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 2''}}
Po now lives his dream as a kung fu master and protects the Valley of Peace alongside the Furious Five. However, he is thrown into internal conflict when he begins having flashbacks of his mother and learns from Mr. Ping that he was adopted as an infant. Shortly after, Po and the Five are sent on a mission to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from using a newly developed weapon, the cannon, to conquer all of China and destroy kung fu tradition. Po remains tormented by thoughts of being abandoned by his real parents until he is guided by a wise old soothsayer to embrace his past, and remembers that his parents risked their lives to save him from Shen, who had set out to exterminate all pandas after learning of a prophecy that he would be defeated by "a warrior of black-and-white". Po achieves inner peace, which allows him to destroy Shen's new weapon, defeat Shen, and accept Mr. Ping as his father. However, during the last scene of the movie, it shows Po's biological father realizing his son is alive.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 3'' (2016) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 3{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 3''}}
Shortly after the events of the [[Kung Fu Panda 2|second film]], Shifu relinquishes his duties as master of the Jade Palace to Po, claiming that the next step of his own apprenticeship is to oversee the Furious Five's training. While struggling with this new responsibility, Po rejoices upon reuniting with his biological father, Li, though Mr. Ping is less enthusiastic. However, news arrives that the spirit warrior General Kai has returned to the mortal realm and is 'collecting' Kung Fu masters from all over China, both living and dead, to serve in his army of Jade Zombies. Po and the others discover from a scroll left by Oogway that Kai can only be defeated by the power of Chi, a technique known only by the panda colonies; thus, Po and Li set to the secret Panda Valley in order to have Po learn it. Po eventually discovers, to his horror, that Li had deceived him, because the pandas have long forgotten about how to manipulate the Chi, and he just wanted to protect his son from Kai. Once making amends with both his adoptive and biological fathers, Po joins forces with Ping, Tigress, and the pandas to make a stand against Kai, all mastering the power of Chi in the process and using its power to destroy him for good. After returning to the Valley of Peace, Po spends his days spreading the teachings of Kung fu and Chi.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 4'' (2024) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 4{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 4''}}

Shifu tasks Po to retire as the Dragon Warrior and find a successor as he must advance to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Disappointed, he struggles to find the right candidate angering Shifu. He later spots a thief named Zhen entering the Jade Palace and sends her to prison but soon learns that Tai Lung has returned. Zhen reveals that it wasn't actually Tai Lung but a shapeshifting sorceress named The Chameleon. Po decides to go after her and Zhen agrees to lead him to the Chameleon in exchange for a reduction of her sentence. They both head towards Juniper City and there, Po finds that Zhen is a wanted criminal, leading to both of them getting arrested. They successfully escape to the Den of Thieves where Zhen reunites with her old mentor Han who allows them to stay there for one day. Po and Zhen then enter Chameleon's lair, where Zhen betrays Po, takes the Staff of Wisdom and gives it to the Chameleon, who is revealed to be her master. Po manages to escape without the staff but Chameleon, who has shapeshifted into Zhen, throws him off of the cliff and Po gets saved by his adoptive and biological father. The Chameleon uses the staff to summon every martial arts master from the Spirit Realm, stealing their kung fu abilities and locking them in cages. Zhen decides to deflect away from Chameleon and reunites with Po. Zhen later manages to convince the Den of Thieves to help her out in saving Po. Zhen and Po defeat the Chameleon and return the stolen Kung fu to their masters. Po sends them back to the spirit realm with Tai Lung taking the Chameleon with him. At the Valley of Peace, Po chooses Zhen as the next Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five joins him in training her.

'''''Kung Fu Panda 4''''' is a 2024 American animated [[Martial arts film|martial arts]] [[comedy film]] produced by [[DreamWorks Animation]] and distributed by [[Universal Pictures]]. It is the fourth installment in the [[Kung Fu Panda|''Kung Fu Panda'' franchise]] and the sequel to ''[[Kung Fu Panda 3]]'' (2016). The film was directed by [[Mike Mitchell (director)|Mike Mitchell]], co-directed by Stephanie Ma Stine, written by [[Darren Lemke]] and the writing team of [[Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger]], and produced by Rebecca Huntley. It features [[Jack Black]], [[Ian McShane]], [[Dustin Hoffman]], [[James Hong]], and [[Bryan Cranston]] reprising their roles from the previous films, with [[Awkwafina]], [[Ke Huy Quan]], [[Ronny Chieng]], [[Lori Tan Chinn]], and [[Viola Davis]] joining the cast as new characters. In the film, [[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po]] (Black), who must find and train his successor as the new Dragon Warrior, teams up with fox bandit Zhen (Awkwafina) to defeat evil sorceress The Chameleon (Davis), before she steals the kung-fu abilities of all masters in China.

Directors [[Jennifer Yuh Nelson]] and [[Alessandro Carloni]] were asked about the possibility of a fourth ''Kung Fu Panda'' film before the release of the third film in January 2016, with Nelson later saying in August 2018 that she was open to a fourth installment. DreamWorks officially announced the fourth film in August 2022, with Mitchell, Ma Stine, and Huntley attached as director, co-director, and producer, respectively, by April 2023. Most of the main voice cast, along with the return of Aibel and Berger as writers and co-producers, was announced in December 2023, following Awkwafina's casting in May of that year. Composer [[Hans Zimmer]], who had scored for the previous three installments, the first two with [[John Powell (film composer)|John Powell]] and the third alone, returned as composer alongside frequent collaborator Steve Mazzaro. Some additional production assets were borrowed from [[Jellyfish Pictures]].

''Kung Fu Panda 4'' premiered at the AMC 14 Theater at [[The Grove at Farmers Market|The Grove]] in Los Angeles on March 3, 2024, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 8. The film received positive reviews from critics and has grossed over $537 million worldwide, making it the [[2024 in film|third highest-grossing film of 2024]].

==Plot==
In the Valley of Peace, Po helps Li Shan and Mr. Ping open their new restaurant. Master Shifu then tells Po that he must advance and become a spiritual leader, which means Po can no longer be the Dragon Warrior and must find a suitable successor to take his place. Po struggles to choose the right candidate as he does not want to lose his status as the Dragon Warrior, and he stumbles upon a fox bandit named Zhen trying to steal ancient weapons from the Jade Palace. Po is able to outsmart Zhen and send her to prison, but a group of mine workers tell him that Tai Lung has returned and destroyed an entire quarry. Zhen reveals that Tai Lung's return was masqueraded by a [[Sorceress (paranormal)|sorceress]] known as The Chameleon, who can shape-shift into any animal she wants as well as copying various kung fu techniques simply by touching them.

With Zhen's assistance, Po heads to Juniper City to take down The Chameleon, little knowing that his worried fathers are following them. After encountering a shifty tavern and fighting off the inhabitants, they soon arrive at Juniper City. They are almost arrested and escape to the Den of Thieves, where they receive aid from the den's leader Han, who is also a close friend of Zhen. From there, Po and Zhen head to The Chameleon's lair until Po is captured. It is then revealed that Zhen has been acting as a double agent for The Chameleon; her task was to acquire Po's Staff of Wisdom, which has the power to access the Spirit Realm. Po almost manages to escape, but The Chameleon, taking the form of Zhen, fools him and throws him off a cliff. He nearly falls to his death, but is rescued by his fathers, who convince him that sometimes change can be good.

Using the staff, The Chameleon summons every deceased kung fu master and steals their techniques, including [[List of Kung Fu Panda characters#Lord_Shen|Lord Shen]], [[List of Kung Fu Panda characters#General_Kai|General Kai]], and the real [[List of Kung Fu Panda characters#Tai_Lung|Tai Lung]]. After escaping for good, Zhen reunites with Po, but he refuses to back down from facing The Chameleon, so she, Ping and Li head back to the Den of Thieves to convince them to help them save Po. As they battle The Chameleon's army of [[Komodo Dragon|Komodo dragons]], Po attempts to reason with The Chameleon to no avail, although she does give the staff back to him as she no longer needs it. They battle, but when Zhen intervenes, The Chameleon turns into a Chimera of several kung fu masters. After the battle, she then shifts into a copycat of Po, fights him, and soon traps him in a cage. Putting his trust in Zhen, Po gives her the Staff of Wisdom, with which she bests The Chameleon. Po, who was only pretending to be trapped, defeats The Chameleon using the staff and returns all of the stolen kung fu to their owners, who show respect to Po and return to the Spirit Realm, with Tai Lung taking The Chameleon with him.

While returning to the Valley of Peace, Po chooses Zhen as his successor, much to Shifu's annoyance. Confident with his choice, Po and the Furious Five help train Zhen to become the next Dragon Warrior.

Co-director [[Alessandro Carloni]] said, "With the sequels, we don't want to try to have them feel open-ended. We want it to feel like a completed journey, and we feel this movie does.

In December 2023, Mitchell stated that Masters Tigress, Monkey, Crane, Mantis, and Viper—known collectively as the Furious Five—would make an appearance in the film and that they are "off on their own individual missions", with producer Rebecca Huntley confirming that there would be "a glimpse of the Furious Five".<ref name="NBC Tease" /><ref name="AUReview Interview">{{Cite news |last=Gray |first=Peter |date=December 14, 2023 |title=Interview: Kung Fu Panda 4 director Mike Mitchell and producer Rebecca Huntley on what we can expect in this brand new adventure |work=The AU Review |url=https://www.theaureview.com/watch/interview-kung-fu-panda-4/ |url-status=live |access-date=December 14, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231214113005/https://www.theaureview.com/watch/interview-kung-fu-panda-4/ |archive-date=December 14, 2023}}</ref> In a March 2024 [[Discord]] Q&A session in a fan server, co-director Stephanie Ma Stine noted that the Furious Five were not originally going to appear despite protests from writers, artists, and animators.

[[Frank Scheck]] of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter]]'' wrote, "With its new settings and characters, including Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan as a pangolin leader of a den of thieves and Ronnie Chieng as a fish that lives in a pelican's mouth, ''Kung Fu Panda 4'' clearly aims to refresh the franchise. But it's really more of the same, which is not such a bad thing when you consider that the series has grossed some $1.8 billion so far (and that's not including the spin-off projects, including various television series and video games). Its appeal still lies largely in Black's hilarious vocal performance which has lost none of its charm."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/kung-fu-panda-4-review-jack-black-awkwafina-1235843267/|title='Kung Fu Panda 4' Review: Jack Black and Awkwafina Voice Predictable but Pleasant Franchise Entry|first=Frank|last=Scheck|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=March 6, 2024|access-date=March 6, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240306170154/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/kung-fu-panda-4-review-jack-black-awkwafina-1235843267/|archive-date=March 6, 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> Wilson Chapman of [[IndieWire]] gave the film a B- and wrote, "Black can, at this point, play this role in his sleep, but he still gives it his all in his fourth go around, and his pitch perfect comic timing and lovable earnestness makes the journey an easy one to take."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/kung-fu-panda-4-review-jack-black-1234959791/|title='Kung Fu Panda 4' Review: DreamWorks' Heaviest Hero Gets a Lightweight Sequel|first=Wilson|last=Chapman|website=[[IndieWire]]|date=March 6, 2024|access-date=March 6, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240306172316/https://www.indiewire.com/criticism/movies/kung-fu-panda-4-review-jack-black-1234959791/|archive-date=March 6, 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> For ''[[The New York Times]]'', Claire Shaffer complimented the film's art direction and Black and Awkwafina's chemistry; overall, she felt it "is an enjoyable ''Kung Fu Panda'' movie, even if it's missing some of the pizazz of the earlier ones."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/movies/kung-fu-panda-4-review.html|title='Kung Fu Panda 4' Review: Trouble in Juniper City|first=Claire|last=Shaffer|website=The New York Times|date=March 7, 2024|access-date=March 7, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240307194712/https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/07/movies/kung-fu-panda-4-review.html|archive-date=March 7, 2024|url-status=live}}</ref> Mentioning the relatively lower budget of this installment, a review in ''[[Le Devoir]]'' found that it allowed the film to focus more efficiently on 'the essence of the art of cartoon (but by computer all the same), its Disneyesque characters, and the settings, still rich in depth and color, of the Valley of Peace, this fantastic reproduction of Ancient China.'<ref>{{Cite web |last=Renaud |first=Philippe |date=2024-03-07 |title="Kung Fu Panda 4": ce quatrième chapitre n'est pas de trop |url=https://www.ledevoir.com/culture/cinema/808609/critique-cinema-kung-fu-panda-4-ce-quatrieme-chapitre-est-pas-trop |access-date=2024-03-17 |website=Le Devoir |language=fr}}</ref>

[[Owen Gleiberman]] of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' unfavorably compared the film to its predecessors, writing, "Even after 16 years of Po, you want to hear Jack Black's voice charged with that youthful cockeyed exuberance, rather than the older-and-wiser aura he exudes here.

'''''Kung Fu Panda''''' is an American [[Martial arts film|martial arts]] [[comedy]] [[media franchise]] that originally started in 2008 with the release of the animated film [[Kung Fu Panda (film)|of the same name]] produced by [[DreamWorks Animation|DreamWorks Animation]]. Following the adventures of the titular [[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po Ping]] (primarily voiced by [[Jack Black]] and [[Mick Wingert]]), a [[giant panda]] who is improbably chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior and becomes a master of [[kung fu]], the franchise is set in a fantasy [[wuxia]] genre version of [[ancient China]] populated by [[anthropomorphic animal]]s. Although everyone initially doubts him, including Po himself, he proves himself worthy as he strives to fulfill his destiny.

The franchise consists mainly of four [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI-animated]] films: ''[[Kung Fu Panda (film)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 3]]'' (2016) and ''[[Kung Fu Panda 4]]'' (2024), as well as three television series: ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness]]'' (2011–2016), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny|The Paws of Destiny]]'' (2018–2019), and ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight|The Dragon Knight]]'' (2022–2023). The first two films were distributed by [[Paramount Pictures]], the third film was distributed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] and the fourth was distributed by [[Universal Pictures]], while the television series respectively aired on [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Nicktoons]], [[Amazon Prime Video|Amazon Prime]], and [[Netflix]]. Four [[short film]]s, ''[[Secrets of the Furious Five]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters|Secrets of the Masters]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll|Secrets of the Scroll]]'', and ''Panda Paws'' (both 2016), and a [[television special]], ''[[Kung Fu Panda Holiday]]'' (2010), have also been produced.

The franchise's first two features were nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Animated Feature]] as well as numerous [[Annie Award]]s, the first television series won 11 [[Emmy Awards]] and the third television series won two [[Emmy Awards]]. All four films were critical and commercial successes,<ref>{{cite web|title=2011 WORLDWIDE GROSSES|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2011&p=.htm|website=Box Office Mojo|access-date=December 30, 2011}}</ref> grossing over $2 billion overall, making it the [[List of highest-grossing animated films|seventh highest-grossing animated film franchise]], while the second film was the highest-grossing film worldwide directed solely by a woman ([[Jennifer Yuh Nelson]]) until ''[[Wonder Woman (2017 film)|Wonder Woman]]'' (2017). The series is additionally popular in [[China]] as an outstanding Western interpretation of the [[wuxia]] film genre.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=24549 |title=''Kung Fu Panda'' Received with Enthusiasm in Asia |work=Toonzone |access-date=June 24, 2008}}</ref>

=== ''Kung Fu Panda'' (2008) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda (film){{!}}''Kung Fu Panda'' (film)}}
Po, a clumsy panda bear, is a kung fu fanatic who lives in the Valley of Peace and works in his goose father Mr. Ping's noodle shop, unable to realize his dream of learning the art of kung fu. One day, a kung fu tournament is held for the elderly spiritual leader of the valley, Grand Master Oogway, to determine the identity of the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master capable of understanding the secret of the Dragon Scroll, which is said to contain the key to limitless power. Everyone in the valley expects the Dragon Warrior to be one of the Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane—a quintet of kung fu warriors trained by Master Shifu to protect the valley. To everyone's surprise, Oogway chooses Po, who has accidentally stumbled into the tournament arena after arriving late via fireworks explosion.

Refusing to believe that Po can be the Dragon Warrior, Shifu subjects Po to torturous training exercises in order to discourage him into quitting. Determined to change himself into someone he can respect, Po perseveres in his training and befriends the Furious Five, who had previously mocked Po for his lack of skill in kung fu. Po soon learns that the valley is being approached by Tai Lung, an evil kung fu warrior who has escaped from prison to take revenge for being denied the Dragon Scroll, and despairs he will be unable to defeat him. However, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of martial arts when motivated by food, and successfully trains him to learn kung fu. After his training is complete, Po is given the Dragon Scroll, which he discovers to be blank. However, Po realizes that the key to limitless power lies within himself, allowing him to defeat Tai Lung and restore peace to the valley.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 2'' (2011) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 2{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 2''}}
Po now lives his dream as a kung fu master and protects the Valley of Peace alongside the Furious Five. However, he is thrown into internal conflict when he begins having flashbacks of his mother and learns from Mr. Ping that he was adopted as an infant. Shortly after, Po and the Five are sent on a mission to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from using a newly developed weapon, the cannon, to conquer all of China and destroy kung fu tradition. Po remains tormented by thoughts of being abandoned by his real parents until he is guided by a wise old soothsayer to embrace his past, and remembers that his parents risked their lives to save him from Shen, who had set out to exterminate all pandas after learning of a prophecy that he would be defeated by "a warrior of black-and-white". Po achieves inner peace, which allows him to destroy Shen's new weapon, defeat Shen, and accept Mr. Ping as his father. However, during the last scene of the movie, it shows Po's biological father realizing his son is alive.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 3'' (2016) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 3{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 3''}}
Shortly after the events of the [[Kung Fu Panda 2|second film]], Shifu relinquishes his duties as master of the Jade Palace to Po, claiming that the next step of his own apprenticeship is to oversee the Furious Five's training. While struggling with this new responsibility, Po rejoices upon reuniting with his biological father, Li, though Mr. Ping is less enthusiastic. However, news arrives that the spirit warrior General Kai has returned to the mortal realm and is 'collecting' Kung Fu masters from all over China, both living and dead, to serve in his army of Jade Zombies. Po and the others discover from a scroll left by Oogway that Kai can only be defeated by the power of Chi, a technique known only by the panda colonies; thus, Po and Li set to the secret Panda Valley in order to have Po learn it. Po eventually discovers, to his horror, that Li had deceived him, because the pandas have long forgotten about how to manipulate the Chi, and he just wanted to protect his son from Kai. Once making amends with both his adoptive and biological fathers, Po joins forces with Ping, Tigress, and the pandas to make a stand against Kai, all mastering the power of Chi in the process and using its power to destroy him for good. After returning to the Valley of Peace, Po spends his days spreading the teachings of Kung fu and Chi.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 4'' (2024) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 4{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 4''}}

Shifu tasks Po to retire as the Dragon Warrior and find a successor as he must advance to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Disappointed, he struggles to find the right candidate angering Shifu. He later spots a thief named Zhen entering the Jade Palace and sends her to prison but soon learns that Tai Lung has returned. Zhen reveals that it wasn't actually Tai Lung but a shapeshifting sorceress named The Chameleon. Po decides to go after her and Zhen agrees to lead him to the Chameleon in exchange for a reduction of her sentence. They both head towards Juniper City and there, Po finds that Zhen is a wanted criminal, leading to both of them getting arrested. They successfully escape to the Den of Thieves where Zhen reunites with her old mentor Han who allows them to stay there for one day. Po and Zhen then enter Chameleon's lair, where Zhen betrays Po, takes the Staff of Wisdom and gives it to the Chameleon, who is revealed to be her master. Po manages to escape without the staff but Chameleon, who has shapeshifted into Zhen, throws him off of the cliff and Po gets saved by his adoptive and biological father. The Chameleon uses the staff to summon every martial arts master from the Spirit Realm, stealing their kung fu abilities and locking them in cages. Zhen decides to deflect away from Chameleon and reunites with Po. Zhen later manages to convince the Den of Thieves to help her out in saving Po. Zhen and Po defeat the Chameleon and return the stolen Kung fu to their masters. Po sends them back to the spirit realm with Tai Lung taking the Chameleon with him. At the Valley of Peace, Po chooses Zhen as the next Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five joins him in training her.

'''''Kung Fu Panda''''' is an American [[Martial arts film|martial arts]] [[comedy]] [[media franchise]] that originally started in 2008 with the release of the animated film [[Kung Fu Panda (film)|of the same name]] produced by [[DreamWorks Animation|DreamWorks Animation]]. Following the adventures of the titular [[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po Ping]] (primarily voiced by [[Jack Black]] and [[Mick Wingert]]), a [[giant panda]] who is improbably chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior and becomes a master of [[kung fu]], the franchise is set in a fantasy [[wuxia]] genre version of [[ancient China]] populated by [[anthropomorphic animal]]s. Although everyone initially doubts him, including Po himself, he proves himself worthy as he strives to fulfill his destiny.

The franchise consists mainly of four [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI-animated]] films: ''[[Kung Fu Panda (film)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 3]]'' (2016) and ''[[Kung Fu Panda 4]]'' (2024), as well as three television series: ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness]]'' (2011–2016), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny|The Paws of Destiny]]'' (2018–2019), and ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight|The Dragon Knight]]'' (2022–2023). The first two films were distributed by [[Paramount Pictures]], the third film was distributed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] and the fourth was distributed by [[Universal Pictures]], while the television series respectively aired on [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Nicktoons]], [[Amazon Prime Video|Amazon Prime]], and [[Netflix]]. Four [[short film]]s, ''[[Secrets of the Furious Five]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Masters|Secrets of the Masters]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll|Secrets of the Scroll]]'', and ''Panda Paws'' (both 2016), and a [[television special]], ''[[Kung Fu Panda Holiday]]'' (2010), have also been produced.

The franchise's first two features were nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Animated Feature]] as well as numerous [[Annie Award]]s, the first television series won 11 [[Emmy Awards]] and the third television series won two [[Emmy Awards]]. All four films were critical and commercial successes,<ref>{{cite web|title=2011 WORLDWIDE GROSSES|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2011&p=.htm|website=Box Office Mojo|access-date=December 30, 2011}}</ref> grossing over $2 billion overall, making it the [[List of highest-grossing animated films|seventh highest-grossing animated film franchise]], while the second film was the highest-grossing film worldwide directed solely by a woman ([[Jennifer Yuh Nelson]]) until ''[[Wonder Woman (2017 film)|Wonder Woman]]'' (2017). The series is additionally popular in [[China]] as an outstanding Western interpretation of the [[wuxia]] film genre.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.toonzone.net/article.php?ID=24549 |title=''Kung Fu Panda'' Received with Enthusiasm in Asia |work=Toonzone |access-date=June 24, 2008}}</ref>

Po, a clumsy panda bear, is a kung fu fanatic who lives in the Valley of Peace and works in his goose father Mr. Ping's noodle shop, unable to realize his dream of learning the art of kung fu. One day, a kung fu tournament is held for the elderly spiritual leader of the valley, Grand Master Oogway, to determine the identity of the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master capable of understanding the secret of the Dragon Scroll, which is said to contain the key to limitless power. Everyone in the valley expects the Dragon Warrior to be one of the Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane—a quintet of kung fu warriors trained by Master Shifu to protect the valley. To everyone's surprise, Oogway chooses Po, who has accidentally stumbled into the tournament arena after arriving late via fireworks explosion.

Refusing to believe that Po can be the Dragon Warrior, Shifu subjects Po to torturous training exercises in order to discourage him into quitting. Determined to change himself into someone he can respect, Po perseveres in his training and befriends the Furious Five, who had previously mocked Po for his lack of skill in kung fu. Po soon learns that the valley is being approached by Tai Lung, an evil kung fu warrior who has escaped from prison to take revenge for being denied the Dragon Scroll, and despairs he will be unable to defeat him. However, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of martial arts when motivated by food, and successfully trains him to learn kung fu. After his training is complete, Po is given the Dragon Scroll, which he discovers to be blank. However, Po realizes that the key to limitless power lies within himself, allowing him to defeat Tai Lung and restore peace to the valley.

Po now lives his dream as a kung fu master and protects the Valley of Peace alongside the Furious Five. However, he is thrown into internal conflict when he begins having flashbacks of his mother and learns from Mr. Ping that he was adopted as an infant. Shortly after, Po and the Five are sent on a mission to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from using a newly developed weapon, the cannon, to conquer all of China and destroy kung fu tradition. Po remains tormented by thoughts of being abandoned by his real parents until he is guided by a wise old soothsayer to embrace his past, and remembers that his parents risked their lives to save him from Shen, who had set out to exterminate all pandas after learning of a prophecy that he would be defeated by "a warrior of black-and-white". Po achieves inner peace, which allows him to destroy Shen's new weapon, defeat Shen, and accept Mr. Ping as his father. However, during the last scene of the movie, it shows Po's biological father realizing his son is alive.

Shortly after the events of the [[Kung Fu Panda 2|second film]], Shifu relinquishes his duties as master of the Jade Palace to Po, claiming that the next step of his own apprenticeship is to oversee the Furious Five's training. While struggling with this new responsibility, Po rejoices upon reuniting with his biological father, Li, though Mr. Ping is less enthusiastic. However, news arrives that the spirit warrior General Kai has returned to the mortal realm and is 'collecting' Kung Fu masters from all over China, both living and dead, to serve in his army of Jade Zombies. Po and the others discover from a scroll left by Oogway that Kai can only be defeated by the power of Chi, a technique known only by the panda colonies; thus, Po and Li set to the secret Panda Valley in order to have Po learn it. Po eventually discovers, to his horror, that Li had deceived him, because the pandas have long forgotten about how to manipulate the Chi, and he just wanted to protect his son from Kai. Once making amends with both his adoptive and biological fathers, Po joins forces with Ping, Tigress, and the pandas to make a stand against Kai, all mastering the power of Chi in the process and using its power to destroy him for good. After returning to the Valley of Peace, Po spends his days spreading the teachings of Kung fu and Chi.

Shifu tasks Po to retire as the Dragon Warrior and find a successor as he must advance to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Disappointed, he struggles to find the right candidate angering Shifu. He later spots a thief named Zhen entering the Jade Palace and sends her to prison but soon learns that Tai Lung has returned. Zhen reveals that it wasn't actually Tai Lung but a shapeshifting sorceress named The Chameleon. Po decides to go after her and Zhen agrees to lead him to the Chameleon in exchange for a reduction of her sentence. They both head towards Juniper City and there, Po finds that Zhen is a wanted criminal, leading to both of them getting arrested. They successfully escape to the Den of Thieves where Zhen reunites with her old mentor Han who allows them to stay there for one day. Po and Zhen then enter Chameleon's lair, where Zhen betrays Po, takes the Staff of Wisdom and gives it to the Chameleon, who is revealed to be her master. Po manages to escape without the staff but Chameleon, who has shapeshifted into Zhen, throws him off of the cliff and Po gets saved by his adoptive and biological father. The Chameleon uses the staff to summon every martial arts master from the Spirit Realm, stealing their kung fu abilities and locking them in cages. Zhen decides to deflect away from Chameleon and reunites with Po. Zhen later manages to convince the Den of Thieves to help her out in saving Po. Zhen and Po defeat the Chameleon and return the stolen Kung fu to their masters. Po sends them back to the spirit realm with Tai Lung taking the Chameleon with him. At the Valley of Peace, Po chooses Zhen as the next Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five joins him in training her.

Following the adventures of the titular [[Po (Kung Fu Panda)|Po Ping]] (primarily voiced by [[Jack Black]] and [[Mick Wingert]]), a [[giant panda]] who is improbably chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior and becomes a master of [[kung fu]], the franchise is set in a fantasy [[wuxia]] genre version of [[ancient China]] populated by [[anthropomorphic animal]]s. Although everyone initially doubts him, including Po himself, he proves himself worthy as he strives to fulfill his destiny.

The franchise consists mainly of four [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI-animated]] films: ''[[Kung Fu Panda (film)|Kung Fu Panda]]'' (2008), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' (2011), ''[[Kung Fu Panda 3]]'' (2016) and ''[[Kung Fu Panda 4]]'' (2024), as well as three television series: ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness]]'' (2011–2016), ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny|The Paws of Destiny]]'' (2018–2019), and ''[[Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight|The Dragon Knight]]'' (2022–2023). The first two films were distributed by [[Paramount Pictures]], the third film was distributed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] and the fourth was distributed by [[Universal Pictures]], while the television series respectively aired on [[Nickelodeon]] and [[Nicktoons]], [[Amazon Prime Video|Amazon Prime]], and [[Netflix]].

All four films were critical and commercial successes,<ref>{{cite web|title=2011 WORLDWIDE GROSSES|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/chart/?view2=worldwide&yr=2011&p=.htm|website=Box Office Mojo|access-date=December 30, 2011}}</ref> grossing over $2 billion overall, making it the [[List of highest-grossing animated films|seventh highest-grossing animated film franchise]], while the second film was the highest-grossing film worldwide directed solely by a woman ([[Jennifer Yuh Nelson]]) until ''[[Wonder Woman (2017 film)|Wonder Woman]]'' (2017).

=== ''Kung Fu Panda'' (2008) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda (film){{!}}''Kung Fu Panda'' (film)}}
Po, a clumsy panda bear, is a kung fu fanatic who lives in the Valley of Peace and works in his goose father Mr. Ping's noodle shop, unable to realize his dream of learning the art of kung fu. One day, a kung fu tournament is held for the elderly spiritual leader of the valley, Grand Master Oogway, to determine the identity of the Dragon Warrior, the one kung fu master capable of understanding the secret of the Dragon Scroll, which is said to contain the key to limitless power. Everyone in the valley expects the Dragon Warrior to be one of the Furious Five—Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, Viper, and Crane—a quintet of kung fu warriors trained by Master Shifu to protect the valley. To everyone's surprise, Oogway chooses Po, who has accidentally stumbled into the tournament arena after arriving late via fireworks explosion.

Refusing to believe that Po can be the Dragon Warrior, Shifu subjects Po to torturous training exercises in order to discourage him into quitting. Determined to change himself into someone he can respect, Po perseveres in his training and befriends the Furious Five, who had previously mocked Po for his lack of skill in kung fu. Po soon learns that the valley is being approached by Tai Lung, an evil kung fu warrior who has escaped from prison to take revenge for being denied the Dragon Scroll, and despairs he will be unable to defeat him. However, Shifu discovers that Po is capable of martial arts when motivated by food, and successfully trains him to learn kung fu. After his training is complete, Po is given the Dragon Scroll, which he discovers to be blank. However, Po realizes that the key to limitless power lies within himself, allowing him to defeat Tai Lung and restore peace to the valley.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 2'' (2011) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 2{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 2''}}
Po now lives his dream as a kung fu master and protects the Valley of Peace alongside the Furious Five. However, he is thrown into internal conflict when he begins having flashbacks of his mother and learns from Mr. Ping that he was adopted as an infant. Shortly after, Po and the Five are sent on a mission to stop the evil peacock Lord Shen from using a newly developed weapon, the cannon, to conquer all of China and destroy kung fu tradition. Po remains tormented by thoughts of being abandoned by his real parents until he is guided by a wise old soothsayer to embrace his past, and remembers that his parents risked their lives to save him from Shen, who had set out to exterminate all pandas after learning of a prophecy that he would be defeated by "a warrior of black-and-white". Po achieves inner peace, which allows him to destroy Shen's new weapon, defeat Shen, and accept Mr. Ping as his father. However, during the last scene of the movie, it shows Po's biological father realizing his son is alive.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 3'' (2016) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 3{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 3''}}
Shortly after the events of the [[Kung Fu Panda 2|second film]], Shifu relinquishes his duties as master of the Jade Palace to Po, claiming that the next step of his own apprenticeship is to oversee the Furious Five's training. While struggling with this new responsibility, Po rejoices upon reuniting with his biological father, Li, though Mr. Ping is less enthusiastic. However, news arrives that the spirit warrior General Kai has returned to the mortal realm and is 'collecting' Kung Fu masters from all over China, both living and dead, to serve in his army of Jade Zombies. Po and the others discover from a scroll left by Oogway that Kai can only be defeated by the power of Chi, a technique known only by the panda colonies; thus, Po and Li set to the secret Panda Valley in order to have Po learn it. Po eventually discovers, to his horror, that Li had deceived him, because the pandas have long forgotten about how to manipulate the Chi, and he just wanted to protect his son from Kai. Once making amends with both his adoptive and biological fathers, Po joins forces with Ping, Tigress, and the pandas to make a stand against Kai, all mastering the power of Chi in the process and using its power to destroy him for good. After returning to the Valley of Peace, Po spends his days spreading the teachings of Kung fu and Chi.

=== ''Kung Fu Panda 4'' (2024) ===
{{Main|Kung Fu Panda 4{{!}}''Kung Fu Panda 4''}}

Shifu tasks Po to retire as the Dragon Warrior and find a successor as he must advance to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. Disappointed, he struggles to find the right candidate angering Shifu. He later spots a thief named Zhen entering the Jade Palace and sends her to prison but soon learns that Tai Lung has returned. Zhen reveals that it wasn't actually Tai Lung but a shapeshifting sorceress named The Chameleon. Po decides to go after her and Zhen agrees to lead him to the Chameleon in exchange for a reduction of her sentence. They both head towards Juniper City and there, Po finds that Zhen is a wanted criminal, leading to both of them getting arrested. They successfully escape to the Den of Thieves where Zhen reunites with her old mentor Han who allows them to stay there for one day. Po and Zhen then enter Chameleon's lair, where Zhen betrays Po, takes the Staff of Wisdom and gives it to the Chameleon, who is revealed to be her master. Po manages to escape without the staff but Chameleon, who has shapeshifted into Zhen, throws him off of the cliff and Po gets saved by his adoptive and biological father. The Chameleon uses the staff to summon every martial arts master from the Spirit Realm, stealing their kung fu abilities and locking them in cages. Zhen decides to deflect away from Chameleon and reunites with Po. Zhen later manages to convince the Den of Thieves to help her out in saving Po. Zhen and Po defeat the Chameleon and return the stolen Kung fu to their masters. Po sends them back to the spirit realm with Tai Lung taking the Chameleon with him. At the Valley of Peace, Po chooses Zhen as the next Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five joins him in training her.

In July 2016, Infantino was suspected to have broken the FIFA code of ethics and was interviewed by the investigatory chamber of the [[FIFA Ethics Committee]].<ref name=":3">{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/36795446|title=Fifa president Gianni Infantino to be interviewed by ethics committee|date=14 July 2016|work=BBC Sport|access-date=7 August 2017}}</ref>

The investigation was focused on three areas: "several flights taken by Mr. Infantino during the first months of his presidency, human resources matters related to hiring processes in the president's office, and Mr. Infantino's refusal to sign the contract specifying his employment relationship with FIFA".<ref name=":4">{{Cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/gianni-infantino-fifa-president-cleared-following-ethics-committee-investigation-a7173616.html|title=Fifa president Gianni Infantino cleared of breaching ethics code|date=5 August 2016|work=The Independent|access-date=7 August 2017}}</ref>

Even though a document was leaked which showed illegitimate spending of funds by FIFA<ref name=":3" /> the matter concerning expenses and governance was not investigated.<ref name=":4" /> The document revealed that Infantino had billed FIFA for personal expenses such as £8,795 for [[mattress]]es at his home, £6,829 for a stepper exercise machine, £1,086 for a [[tuxedo]], £677 on flowers and £132 on personal laundry. In addition to that he billed the FIFA governing body for an external driver for his family and advisors while he was away.<ref name=":3" />

When Infantino accepted special treatment by the 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosts [[Russia]] and [[Qatar]], the question of a potential [[conflict of interest]] was raised. The hosts had organized private jets for Infantino and his staff related to visits in Russia and Qatar.<ref name=":3" /> The investigatory chamber was of the opinion that no violation had occurred. In addition to that, the chamber found that "human resources matters, as well as Mr. Infantino's conduct with regard to his contract with FIFA, if at all, constituted internal compliance issues rather than an ethical matter."<ref name=":4" />

While the investigatory chamber discharged Infantino, this did not stop criticism. [[Karl-Heinz Rummenigge]], chairman of [[FC Bayern Munich]], criticized Infantino for not fulfilling his promises regarding transparency, democracy and governance. "So far this has not succeeded in my eyes," he complained.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.insideworldfootball.com/2017/03/01/german-power-players-rummenigge-grindel-slam-infantino-presidency/|title=German power players Rummenigge and Grindel slam Infantino presidency|date=1 March 2017|website=Inside World Football|access-date=7 August 2017}}</ref>

In July 2020 further allegations arose when Infantino was accused of having a secret meeting with {{Ill|Michael Lauber|de}}, the Attorney General of Switzerland. Lauber offered to resign after a court said he covered up the meeting and lied to supervisors during an investigation by his office into [[corruption]] surrounding FIFA. Infantino responded to the allegation by defending himself claiming "To meet with the attorney general of Switzerland is perfectly legitimate and it's perfectly legal. It's no violation of anything."<ref>{{Cite web|date=30 July 2020|title=Gianni Infantino: Legal proceedings launched against Fifa president |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/53598206|access-date=3 August 2020|website=BBC Sport}}</ref>

== Personal life ==
Infantino is married to Lebanese Leena Al Ashqar; the couple have four children.<ref name="fifapresprofile" /> Since October 2021, he also spends time in [[Doha]], Qatar, where two of his children go to school.<ref name=":6">{{Cite web |title=FIFA President Gianni Infantino moves to Qatar |url=https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/society/fifa-president-gianni-infantino-has-moved-to-qatar/47267300 |access-date=2023-03-27 |website=[[Swissinfo]] |language=en}}</ref> The move left the former FIFA president Sepp Blatter wondering if the FIFA headquarters was to be moved to somewhere else.<ref name=":6" /> Following, Infantino then assured that his official residency remains in [[Canton of Zürich|Canton Zurich]] and explained the organization of the World Cup in Qatar was in need of his presence there.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Infantino ist nach Zug gezogen – und spart damit ordentlich Steuern |url=https://www.stern.de/sport/fussball/infantino-ist-nach-zug-gezogen---und-spart-damit-ordentlich-steuern-32953464.html |access-date=2023-03-27 |website=stern.de |language=de}}</ref> In November 2022, it was reported that he moved his official residency to [[Zug]] in June 2022, which was confirmed by the FIFA.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Infantino ist nach Zug gezogen – und spart damit ordentlich Steuern |url=https://www.stern.de/sport/fussball/infantino-ist-nach-zug-gezogen---und-spart-damit-ordentlich-steuern-32953464.html |access-date=2023-03-27 |website=[[Stern (magazine)|Stern]] |language=de}}</ref> He is a fan of the Italian club [[Inter Milan]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/26-02-2016/infantino-presidente-fifa-ecco-ex-re-sorteggi-che-amava-altobelli-140804290327.shtml|title=Infantino presidente Fifa: ecco l'ex re dei sorteggi che amava Altobelli|trans-title=Infantino FIFA president: here is the ex-king of draws who loved Altobelli|language=it|website=Gazzetta.it|access-date = 27 February 2016}}</ref>
