Marvel " Eternal Family " was released on November 5, 2021, and can be said to be one of the most disappointing Marvel movies. This movie was originally regarded as the most important transitional work connecting the past and the future in the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it was surprisingly bad in both box office and reputation. In terms of box office, the total box office of North America was only US$160 million, ranking second from the bottom in the MCU, only more than US$134 million from " Invincible Hulk ". The global total box office was only 402 million, ranking fourth from the bottom in the MCU, only higher than "The Invincible Hulk" ($265 million), " Captain America " ($370 million) and " Black Widow " ($380 million).
In terms of reputation, the freshness of rotten tomatoes is only 47%, the IMDB score is 6.3, and the Douban score is 5.8.
Such a failed work is about to usher in a sequel. Marvel is currently developing "Eternal 2". Some time ago, the screenwriter of "Eternal 2" said in an interview that Josh Brolin will return to the MCU, appear in "Eternal 2", and play Thanos again.
In the comics, Thanos was originally a member of the Eternal Clan, so it was reasonable to bring him back in the sequel. As for how Thanos returns, according to the comic settings, the Tianshen group has a machine that can resurrect members of the Eternal Clan. In the movie, Thanos should be resurrected from the dead through this machine.
