Eternals Blooper Reel Features Marvel's Newest Superheroes Just Goofing Off

Being a superhero is tough work, and that goes double for those specially-chosen beings who were created to live unnaturally long lifespans and burdened with fending off the sinister Deviants from planet to planet. Sometimes, you just want to relax, take a load off, and ... dance? That's apparently the theme of the day, if this newly-released blooper reel is anything to go by. Chloé Zhao may be considered one of our most talented, ambitious, and serious-minded storytellers in the business right now, but that doesn't mean she couldn't keep a loose atmosphere and a fun set while on the job for "Eternals." This latest video, taken directly from the set and featuring some choice, behind-the-scenes moments during filming, is all the proof you'll ever need of that. Feast your eyes on Richard Madden stuffing his face with Twinkies, Kumail Nanjiani screaming incoherently, and — the main attraction, obviously — Harry Styles and the rest of the Eternals going though some nifty dance moves. Check out both a snippet and the full-length clip of all the silliness below!

Consider this your much-needed boost of serotonin for the day. "Eternals" isn't exactly the most dour movie to ever grace the Marvel Cinematic Universe (who could possibly level that accusation at a movie that stars Kingo and his valet, Karun?), though it certainly deals with some of the franchise's most existential themes. In that light, none of us can blame the ensemble cast of talent for goofing off between takes and keeping themselves amused. The full blooper reel comes courtesy of Entertainment Tonight, who very intentionally highlighted a certain clip of the video for their tweet, in such a way to catch the eye of the multitude of Harry Styles fans out there.

And rightfully so! The pop star, famously kept hidden as a last-minute cameo in the film as Starfox/Eros, does almost steal the whole show here. The full video in the link above is worth watching in its entirety, treating us to even more delights such as Salma Hayek flubbing her lines, Barry Keoghan jumping into the action in a climactic scene before Lia McHugh could get through her necessary dialogue as the diminutive Sprite, and Zhao herself possibly letting loose a profanity or two. It's all an incredibly delightful display of antics!

This footage is timed for the imminent release of "Eternals" on digital on January 12, 2022, and on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K on February 15, 2022. Directed by Chloé Zhao, the film stars Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington, Kumain Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Harish Patel, Bill Skarsgård, and more.
