Starring actors like Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie Chloe Zhao’s directed The Eternals did what it what supposed to that is to introduce the fans and followers with every member of god-like beings’ superhero team by the same name Eternals to build a story around these characters in future like the fans got to see with the team members of Earth’s mightiest superheroes Avengers, probably at the end of phase 4, where they would be seen taking part in a massive battle with a supervillain similar to likes of Mad Titan Thanos.
Nate Moore, who works as the producer on the film while recently having a conversation with ComicBook.com about the superhero epic discussed some significant details related to it. Moore talked about an important scene from Eternals, where Kumail Nanjiani’s character Kingo surprisingly decides not to fight the final battle together at the end part of the film with his team after Richard Madden’s Ikaris gives two options to each member of the squad that they either side with him to carry the responsibility given by the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Gods, Celestials or could on their own way.
"That would be against, what I believe, is Kingo. So, if there's a spectrum, 'I'm not all the way to Ikaris, but I don't agree with you guys.' And if you watch the movie, at no point does Kingo ever agree with their plan," Moore said on Phase Zero Podcast to ComicBook.com, sharing his views on Kingo’s decision during the important moment of the movie. "He is actually a pretty consistent character in what he believes and values. And again, in a movie, that for us was very much about faith and purpose. We didn't want to take, I don't want to say the easy way out, but we didn't want to take the expected route of redeeming this guy because I don't think he would have showed up at that last fight is the truth."
"I would think so, Yeah, because again, these people went through that experience of battle and some of them are going to forgive him. And I think some of them aren't. I've read of some talk back about, for instance, the decision Sersi makes with Sprite. How can you forgive this woman? She literally stabbed you in the back, which again, we knew was going to be a big deal, but it's a friend from 7,000 years. You know what I mean? You're weighing these two things and I don't know that Sprite or Kingo are villains in that way. I think they make decisions that are counter to what, I would argue, our protagonists want, but they're not evil." Moore adds, explaining Kingo’s decision and how would things play out and impact the future of the character in MCU.
