Directed by Song Dandan's stepdaughter! Marvel blockbuster "Eternals" reveals the latest progress

According to foreign media reports, the director of the Marvel superhero movie "Eternals" has finally been confirmed. Chinese female director Zhao Ting will take over the directorship of the movie about a superpowered race. She previously became famous for directing "The Rider", and another well-known identity is Song Dandan's stepdaughter.

It is no surprise that Kevin Feige will be the producer of "Eternals", and Matthew and Ryan Fraper will be responsible for writing the script of "Eternals". It is reported that "Eternals" is very ambitious and will show the mythological era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe millions of years ago. Marvel Studios obviously wants to use "Eternals" to open up a wider field of the movie universe.

The Marvel Comics "Eternals" was released in the United States in 1976, created by Jack Kirby. In the comics, the Eternals were created by the gods. This race was created based on the continuous changes and recombination of human genes, and they were born with extraordinary superpowers. What's more surprising is that Thanos is also a member of the Eternals, so "Eternals" is also related to the current works of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

According to foreign media, the protagonist of the "Eternals" movie may be the female member Sersi, so Zhao Ting was asked to be the director, but this news has not yet been confirmed.

Chinese female director Zhao Ting is the daughter of Song Dandan and a graduate of the New York University Film School (Ang Lee's alumnus). In 2017, Zhao Ting's self-written and directed feature film "The Rider" received widespread acclaim in the American independent film industry and won the 33rd American Independent Spirit Award Bonnie Award in 2018. After becoming famous with "The Rider", the industry was optimistic about Zhao Ting's future development, but it was unexpected that Zhao Ting's first Hollywood Big Six film contract was actually from Marvel's super production.

It is reported that "Eternals" is about to start casting, but the filming date is still a long way off.
