Kumail Nanjiani, one of the stars of Marvel’s Eternals, says he supports the decision to delay the film to 2021.
While fans may be disappointed that Disney and Marvel have decided to delay their upcoming movies such as Black Widow, Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, with the pandemic sticking around, its perhaps not a massive surprise.
Kumail Nanjiani, one of the stars of Eternals, has reacted to the news that Eternals won’t be coming out in February and is instead arriving November 2021. The actor told his Twitter followers that he supports the decision:
“Eternals delayed to Nov 5, 2021. Marvel made the right & responsible decision. There’s a pandemic. Nothing is more important than health & lives. I can’t tell ppl to go to a movie theater until I feel safe going to one.
“Take care of yourselves. I promise it’ll be worth the wait!”
