Overview

• Speaking on Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out podcast, Nanjiani said he signed for six movies plus a video game and a theme‑park ride, then saw those plans fizzle.
• He said the film’s reception “shattered” him and led him to seek therapy, a journey he now explores in his stand‑up.
• Eternals grossed about $402 million worldwide and holds a 47% Rotten Tomatoes score, ranking among the MCU’s lowest‑reviewed entries.
• Marvel has not announced a live‑action return for the team; Kevin Feige said in 2024 there were no immediate plans for an Eternals sequel, and Nanjiani has only reprised Kingo in animation on What If...?
• Nanjiani’s comments underscore how multi‑project option contracts hinge on studio follow‑through, and he says his new special discussing the experience will arrive on Hulu later this year.
