Hollywood Reporter:

Chloe Zhao has nabbed the gig to direct Marvel’s next potential franchise, the Jack Kirby-created title The Eternals.

Matthew and Ryan Firpo, whose spec script Ruin topped the 2017 Black List, penned the script for the superhero team adventure.

The project features the super-powered and near-immortal beings known as Eternals and a more monstrous off-shoot known as the Deviants that were created by cosmic beings known as Celestials.

Very cool to see a woman of color getting the nod as director.

Also crazy that we may have dueling celestial themed Jack Kirby movies, between this and WB/DC’s THE NEW GODS.
