Marvel considering Canary Islands for next blockbuster “The Eternals”

Several outlets have reported that Marvel are seriously considering 3 of The Canary Islands as possible locations for their next big production, set to start shooting in the Autumn.  The production is likely to be the upcoming adaptation of Jack Kirby’s 1976 graphic series “The Eternals” and with names as big as Salma Hayek Pinault, Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden of “Game of Thrones” and “Bodyguard” fame, and Kumail Nanjiani, best known for “The Big sick” and “Silicon Valley”, many are getting excited about yet another blockbuster being filmed here.

In the original stories, The Eternals are God-like beings who live among humans, to whom they are related, and protect them from the evil Deviants, who are also distant cousins.  The earth dwelling group lived in a hidden city, Olympia, at the foot of Mount Olympus and were led by Ikaris, (who when not publicly fighting evil uses the name Ike Harris) and his partner Sersi (who crafts illusions and moves objects with her telekinetic powers), working together with Makarri (who specialises in super speed), and Thena (who manipulates cosmic energy to shoot beams of heat and light).  A brave new Marvel world indeed….

Although there have been no official confirmations yet, with a deal yet to be signed, many Marvel fans are already looking to book flights in the hope of getting up close and personal with Marvels newest franchise and superstar cast.
