Rome.-Angelina Jolie directs the "Eternals" in Rome, the superhero team that divides a new era in the Marvel house, equal and multicultural, which also holds numerous future surprises.
The Marvel house widens its cinematographic universe with its 25th installment, the "Eternals", an adaptation of Jack Kirby's comics (1978) shot by Chloé Zhao, which gives a twist to her career after films like the Oscar-winning " Nomadland" (2020). The film departs from the world left behind by "Avengers: Endgame" (2019), having recovered half of the population that had perished after the deadly snap of the fingers of the villain Thanos.
The commitment to diversity
In this context, that of a world in apparent normality, the evil "Deviants" emerge to threaten the human race once again, forcing the deviants to take up arms. "Eternals", an alien race created by gods and living infiltrated on Earth for thousands of years. The first thing that catches your eye is a team of superheroes from different cultures. In the equal cast, there are two Asian heroes, played by the British Gemma Chan and the Korean Don Lee; another Pakistani (Kumail Nanjiani), a Hispanic, Salma Hayek, or two blacks, the Americans Lauren Ridloff and Brian Tyree Henry. But that squad of saviors also has the form of a plea for diversity. Marvel has chosen for the first time to make one of its characters not only homosexual, but also happily married with a child, and another uses sign language to communicate with his battle partners. The director explained at the press conference that when He joined the project and there was a "brilliant" script treatment from Marvel but his intention was to give a special touch to the heroes.

And the question to the cast was almost opportune: Who would want to live forever?
