The Cast of Eternals is not only very strong, but the characters also reflect a more diverse development.
So this movie is completely different from the previous Marvel movies.
Among them, Pakistani actor Kumail Nanjani played the eternal clan member Ginger, a role that added a lot of comedic elements to the film.
But in fact, we almost can't see him in The Eternals.
On the My Mom's Basement podcast, film screenwriter Matthew Freo revealed that Kumer was scheduled to have a role in Silver Guardian 3, so he couldn't have starred in Eternals.
"We basically recommended it to the producers from the start: 'This role has to be played by Kummer.'" ”
"But they said, 'It's impossible because he had a character in Silver Guardian 3 that James Gunn had already written into.'" So he couldn't star in The Eternals. ’”
However, because of the storm of James Gunn's dismissal, "Silver Guardian 3" had to be postponed, so Kumer had another schedule.
"Then, as you know, Silver Guardian 3 had a little trouble, the movie was delayed for a year and a half, and then it was the COVID-19 pandemic."
"I don't know what that character [from Silver Guardian 3] will be, but I think it's good for him."
"His slot was vacated and Marvel said, 'You know, I think we might be able to go to him.'" And then that's it. ”
But director James Gunn responded to the news by saying that the change in Kummer's role had nothing to do with the schedule.
"For my part, I did write a cameo role for my friend Kumar Nanjani in Silver Guardian 3."
"When Kevin Feige called me and said they wanted Kumer to play a major role in Eternals, I said of course I'd like to see him play that character, not my cameo."
"I don't remember what it had to do with the schedule change."
Hahahaha Gunn director is really fighting in the front line of debunking rumors.
In any case, anyway, Kumer is indeed playing the main role in "Eternals", and it doesn't matter whether it is related to the schedule or not.
In the "Eternals" hit, "Silver Guardian 3" will be released in North America on May 5, 2023.
