Eternals\u00a0was released in 2021, and despite early Oscar buzz (largely due to the cast and Oscar-winner Chlo\u00e9 Zhao being at the helm), it became\u00a0Marvel Studios’ first “Rotten” movie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Throw in the fact that it dropped\u00a0during\u00a0the final months of the pandemic, and the\u00a0blockbuster\u00a0struggled to make its mark\u00a0at the box office, grossing\u00a0only $402 million worldwide. It wasn’t necessarily a flop, but it sure didn’t turn much of a profit.<\/p>\n
The movie was overstuffed, but there was a lot about\u00a0Eternals\u00a0that\u00a0worked. Unfortunately, four\u00a0years later, Marvel Studios has yet to reveal what became of the movie’s leads after they were\u00a0taken from Earth by Arishem for judgment after their role in stopping Tiamut’s emergence.<\/p>\n
Kevin Feige, meanwhile, has confirmed that there are no plans for Eternals 2, meaning we’ll have to rely on another project doing something to resolve that cliffhanger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In an officially released clip from\u00a0Kumail Nanjiani: Night Thoughts, the actor addresses the negative response to the movie and shares a hilariously blunt message for those who made fun of his new, bulked-up frame as Kingo.<\/p>\n
As we’re sure you’ll recall, the photos of a shirtless\u00a0Nanjiani went viral when they were first revealed. However, there was also a lot of unnecessary negativity surrounding his impressive transformation.<\/p>\n

“‘Oh, your big Hollywood movie didn’t do well? Are we supposed to feel sorry for you?’ No, I don’t want you to feel sorry for me. I don’t. But I get to feel sorry for me.\u00a0This is my life. I’m inside of here. I worked really hard for a year on something that I thought was going to be awesome. When it came out, everyone was like, ‘No, it sucks. Also, we think you’re stupid. Also, we’ve decided you’re gonna be the first person we mock for getting in shape.’ What? How the f*** did that happen? That’s happened to nobody else in the history of civilization.”<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n“Why me? ‘Oh, he got abs? What a moron.’ What? Who changed the rules? Why didn’t anybody give me a heads-up? Do you know how hard this was? I have not smelled cake in years. And now I know all of you are waiting for me to go back to how I was. Oh, it’ll make you so happy if I go back to how I was. So, now I’m stuck in this prison, ’cause I don’t want to give you the satisfaction. There’s no reason for me to be buff anymore, but I am because f*** you. I’ll be doing pushups on my deathbed because f*** you. When I look at cake and want to eat it, I think of how happy it’ll make you if I eat i,t and that gives me the strength to not eat it.”<\/p>\n
