Eternals director Chloé Zhao describes that Superman reference-- as well as what Kevin Feige believed

Phastos is a fictional character that appears in the American comics published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared on The Eternals 9 (March 1977) and was created by the writer Peter Gillis and the Artist Salt Buscema. He is a member of the eternal, a human race in the Marvel universe. In 2019, it was announced that Brian Tyree Henry would interpret Phastos in Marvel s cinematographic universe, debuting at The Eternals.

Eternals director Chloé Zhao has actually explained the reference to Superman in the upcoming Marvel movie.

A recent Eternals featurette included a name decrease of the DC hero, with the boy of Brian Tyree Henry s Phastos assuming Richard Madden s Ikaris is the Guy of Steel himself: Father, that s Superman-- with the cape ... and you were shooting laser light beams out of your eyes.

Talking to Range, Zhao revealed exactly how the DC hero became part of the MCU. I take responsibility for that, she claimed.

You compose it on the web page, show it to Kevin [Feige, Marvel Studios President], if he does not say anything, that s a go, Zhao included. I don t think there was a discussion. Not truly, other than, he goes, Oh, that s cool. .

When it comes to why Superman was discussed, that all concerns Eternals emphasis on humankind s misconceptions as well as tales.

We re using a style that draws a lot from folklore, and also Superman, as an example, was developed in the comics as well as also by these dazzling filmmakers in the process-- they re modern-day reinterpretations of a mythical characters that exist in different societies, Zhao explained. Ikaris is our analysis of it. It doesn t suggest we can t pay homage to the actually legendary variation that we have actually all grown to enjoy and also has actually influenced us. .

While we may not be seeing Superman fly to the Avengers aid anytime quickly, then, it s still an awesome crossover-- as well as the first time a DC personality has actually been straight referenced in the MCU.
