What themes does Eternals 2 explore?
The themes and tone of the Eternals 2 are based on Zhao’s interests, which are humanity and belief. While Eternals 2 works in the format of a historical epic, it also analyzes how human beings tend to hold a distorted view of the past. Other than this, Zhao’s other inspiration is to simply show that she can create and write a story regarding superheroes. She states that she has always wanted to be able to tell a story that affects people in ways similar to the characters of this film, who are “able to connect with them and believe in them.”
