Eternals<\/a><\/strong> star Kumail Nanjiani<\/a> has revealed how many MCU<\/a> movies he was contracted to make.<\/p>\n Nanjiani starred as Kingo in Eternals, the Marvel Studios<\/a> movie that was released in 2021. Directed by Chlo\u00e9 Zhao, the cast of the film further includes Gemma Chan as Sersi, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Kit Harrington as Dane Whitman, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, and Don Lee as Gilgamesh.<\/p>\n Speaking with Mike Birbiglia on the Working It Out<\/a> podcast, Nanjiani said that, when he originally signed on to star as Kingo in the MCU, he thought he\u2019d be playing the role for at least the next ten years.<\/p>\n \u201cI signed on for six movies,\u201d he said. \u201cI signed on for a video game. I signed on for a theme park ride. They make you sign up for all this stuff. So you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, this is the next ten years of my life, so I\u2019ll be doing Marvel movies every year and, then, in-between I\u2019ll do my own little things, whatever I want to do.\u2019 And then none of that happened.\u201d<\/p>\n Eternals was not a box office smash for Marvel<\/a>, as the movie only grossed around $402.1 million worldwide. While the movie sets up some potential future plot points in the MCU, Kevin Feige has stated that there are no plans to make an Eternals 2<\/a> at this time. Other Marvel movies, such as Captain America: Brave New World, have since resolved some of the unfinished storylines; although, there\u2019s been no word on if Harry Styles\u2019 Starfox and Patton Oswalt\u2019s Pip the Troll will ever be seen again.<\/p>\n Eternals is currently available to streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article.
