Marvel’s Eternals writer reveals nine post-credits scenes that didn’t make the cut: ‘There are some really spicy ones’

Marvel’s Eternals has already got the world talking about its post-credits scene before it’s even released, but there are plenty that didn’t actually make the cut.

Writer Kaz Firpo revealed to Metro.co.uk just how much thought goes into the famous clips that have Marvel fans waiting until the credits have rolled.

‘The post-credits sequences, I can say we wrote about nine versions before we settled on what’s in the movie,’ he explained.

‘There are some really spicy ones that always change. It’s an evolving process, every Marvel movie is constantly growing and there’s a thousand, I think 10,000 people worked on this film all over the world.

‘There’s a lot of different voices that are coming in and adding and changing and growing, so with these particularly, they tell the stories of where we want it to go next. So when you watch the movie, stick around, they’re going to tell you something about where the next direction.

‘The other nine possible versions of this ending – they just told different stories, they chose different characters, they introduced different ideas, and so a big part of it for us was, “Where do we want to go next?”

‘And when we finally figured that out, when the movie was done, that’s when we knew, “Okay, this is the way we’re going, we’re going out into the stars”‘.

Eternals boasts a completely star-studded cast, with Angelina Jolie (Thena), Gemma Chan (Sersi), Richard Madden (Ikaris), Kit Harington (Dane), Salma Hayek (Ajak) and Kumail Nanjiani (Kingo) starring.

Directed by Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao, it’s part of the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The film features immortal aliens who have been secretly living on Earth for thousands of years waiting for the right moment to jump into action.
