AFTER MAKING THE second-biggest film of all time, you can afford to take some risks. Still, Eternals seemed like a dangerous move for Marvel. Which, says Nate Moore — the film’s producer and a longtime member of the Marvel Studios ‘brains trust’, having previously produced The Winter Soldier, Civil War and Black Panther — was exactly why they opted to make it. “That’s what got us excited about the movie,” he explains. “It feels risky. We don’t want to just give people more of the same.”
