50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2021

8. Eternals

Marvel's Eternals
Disney

The penultimate MCU movie due out this year, Eternals is one of the franchise's most-anticipated projects to date, an exceptionally ambitious ensemble superhero film set to star Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington, Gemma Chan, and Barry Keoghan.

But perhaps the real get here is director Chloé Zhao, who went from filming the stark, stripped-down Oscar contender Nomadland to assembling Eternals - the tonal and aesthetic opposite - almost immediately.

It's an undeniable risk giving a filmmaker that divorced from tentpole fare a $200 million budget, but at the same time, it doesn't take much thought to be optimistic about the outcome.

If this is even remotely good, expect Eternals to become one of the MCU's major mainstay franchises moving forward.

Release Date: November 5
