• In the comics, Ajax, McCary, and Sprite are men.
• According to actor Kumail Nanjiani, director Chloé Zhao prefers practical filming to working with chroma key technology.
• To build muscle for filming, Kumail Nanjiani followed a strict diet and trained with Grant Roberts, a trainer and Mr. Canada titleholder. Nanjiani worked out five days a week for three months.
• In November 2019, the film's cast and crew were urgently evacuated from the Canary Islands after an unexploded German bomb was discovered near the filming location.
• Due to Lauren Ridloff's deafness, it was difficult for her to perform in scenes where her character (Makkari) interacts with characters created using digital technology, or in action scenes. Angelina Jolie (who played Thena) helped her, using a laser pointer.
• Lauren Ridloff's father trained the actors involved in the film in sign language.
• According to producer Kevin Feige, Gemma Chan was cast in the film at his insistence. He himself regretted that her talent was not fully revealed in the science fiction action film 'Captain Marvel' (2019), in which Chan also starred and he served as a producer, and therefore he decided to work with her on another project.
• The circular ornament on the Eternals' costumes is a reference to an astrolabe (one of the oldest astronomical instruments used to determine the latitude and longitude of celestial bodies).
• Actor Kumail Nanjiani wanted his performance in this film to combine the wry behavior of John McClane, the Bruce Willis character from the *Die Hard* series, and the appearance of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.
• Actress Salma Hayek initially did not want to work with Marvel Studios, believing she would be given a supporting role. Salma agreed to meet and discuss filming when she learned that director Chloé Zhao was working on the film.
• Actress Lauren Ridloff had to stop running during preparation for the role and switch to building muscle, as the filmmakers wanted Maccari’s image to be more like that of a sprinter.
• In the comics, Ajax, Maccari, and Sprite are men.
• Actor Kumail Nanjiani wanted his performance in the film to combine the witty behavior of John McClane, the character played by Bruce Willis in the Die Hard series, and the appearance of Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.
