In a recent interview, Chloé Zhao talked about her original ending for 'Eternals,' which she said was 'really bleak.'
While the ending for Marvel's Eternals offers plenty of material for a potential sequel and other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, director Chloé Zhao revealed she originally had something very different in mind. It's unclear whether or not that ending still would have had a superstar joining the cast, or a major voice cameo still present, but the superhero team would have originally faced an ending that Zhao can describe only as "bleak.
Excitement for what's next is perhaps the best way to describe the actual ending for Eternals. In the end, Sersi , Kingo , and Phastos are summoned by Arishem in response to their disobedience in destroying the birth of the Celestial Tiamat. He also calls upon these Earth-based Eternals to see if humanity is even worth saving. Those are some pretty heavy final notes, though it does seem a bit more optimistic than the original idea.
With that being said, there's currently no information about a sequel to Eternals. The film has grossed $164 million thus far domestically. With that kind of total amidst a pandemic, as well as the critical post-credits scenes, it's hard to imagine that Marvel won't want to make a sequel.
