So now Zhao’s next movie up is Nomadland, which she worked on while tackling preproduction on Eternals.
However, as a a result of the complications ignited by the COVID-19 pandemic, Eternals has been pushed to November 2021.
Nomadland stars Francis McDormand as a woman who departs her small town to travel across the America West, and it was met with critical acclaim at last year’s Venice Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival.
Had things gone according to plan, Eternals would have been the immediate next entry on Chloe Zhao’s filmography, with that movie introducing the same-named group of god-like warriors from Marvel Comics to the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise and originally supposed to come out last November.
