• Eternals’ Salma Hayek Has Signed on For Multiple MCU Movies

    Marvel’s Eternals star Salma Hayek, who plays Eternals leader Ajak, has revealed she has signed a deal to star in multiple Marvel movies.

    During an interview with Smallzy’s Celebrity Talk Podcast (via /Film), the 55-year-old Eternals actress revealed that she’s already signed up for multiple Marvel movies.

    “I did sign multiple movie deals!” she said. “It was kind of fun being part of this… secret society that you have to protect so fearlessly!”

    This story contains major spoilers for the plot of Marvel’s Eternals – if you haven’t seen it yet, turn back now.

    Although the number of movies she’s signed up for remains a mystery, there’s an even bigger question – how is Salma Hayek’s Ajak going to return to the MCU? If you’ve seen Marvel’s Eternals, you’ll know that it’s revealed rather early that Ajak is dead – her scenes that follow are flashbacks from before she was betrayed by Ikaris and ultimately killed by Kro, the leader of the Deviants.

    That’s a pretty finite end for Salma Hayek’s character, so Marvel is going to have to get creative if we’re going to see the former Eternals leader once more.

    It’s entirely possible that Marvel has factored in potential sequels to Hayek’s contract – meaning an Eternals 2 could be on the cards. If that’s the case, we might expect yet more Ajak flashbacks throughout her thousands of years on Earth.

    However, it’s also possible that Ajak could show up in other Marvel properties. After all, with the likes of Captain Marvel and Captain America: The First Avenger taking place during different time periods, it’s not implausible to think of Hayek’s ancient Eternal showing up in the midst of a fight.

    However it pans out, Marvel’s Eternals is already doing pretty well at the box office, with an opening weekend of $71 million – just shy of Marvel’s high-end expectations for the film. It’s a shame that Eternals is currently the lowest-rated MCU movie with a Rotten Tomatoes rating of just 47% – a score that’s sure to give Marvel something to think about when considering a sequel.

    Still, with the introduction of Marvel’s Black Knight, Eternals has opened up a number of possibilities for the future of the MCU. And it looks as though Salma Hayek will be a part of that – in one way or another.

    Foo Fighters Made a Secret Comedy-Horror Movie, Studio 666

    Foo Fighters have made a secret comedy-horror movie titled Studio 666, which is slated for release next year.

    Deadline first reported the news, revealing that Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters bandmates Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee are starring in the movie that was filmed in secret. The cast also includes Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman, Will Forte, Jenna Ortega, and Jeff Garlin, with BJ McDonnell serving as director.

    Studio 666 will see "what happens when the legendary rock band rents an Encino mansion steeped in grisly rock and roll history, to record their 10th album." After moving in, though, frontman Grohl finds that he is creatively blocked, and "when evil forces in the house sink into his consciousness, the creative juices begin flowing but so does the blood."

    Open Road Films has acquired worldwide rights to the movie, which is based on a story by Grohl that was turned into a screenplay, written by Jeff Buhler and Rebecca Hughes. It will be released in theaters in the US on February 25, 2022, with an international release set to be confirmed at a later date.

    "After decades of ridiculous music videos and numerous music documentaries under our collective belts, it was finally time to take it to the next level… A full-length feature horror comedy film," Grohl said when the project was finally announced. "Like most things Foo, Studio 666 began with a far fetched idea that blossomed into something bigger than we ever imagined possible.

    "We wanted to recapture the classic magic that all of our favorite rock and roll movies had, but with a twist: hilarious gore that f***ing rocks," he added. "With the help of Tom Ortenberg and the team at Open Road Films we can finally let this cat out of the bag after keeping it our best-kept secret for two years. Be ready to laugh, scream, and headbang in your popcorn. Studio 666 will f*** you up."

    The movie was filmed inside the same house that Foo Fighters recorded their tenth studio album, Medicine at Midnight, which was released earlier this year, several months prior to the band being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was their first year of eligibility as their debut album officially hit shelves 25 years ago.
