The cousin screenwriter duo Ryan and Kaz Firpo are the masterminds behind Marvel Studios' latest film Eternals. Now, the writing team has weighed in on what they hope for the future of the Eternals on Disney Plus.

The writers got their foot in the door by pitching a post-World War II script that they had titled Ruin. The script was so sensational that the Firpos had been offered a manager and various meetings with big Hollywood credentials, most notably with Marvel Studios. It’s during that meeting where they met Marvel VP Nate Moore, who called them back several months later to pitch Eternals. Their creative process as writers includes lots of solitude and quiet.

Once they landed the gig, the duo spent months holed up in a single, windowless room at Marvel Headquarters. Both Ryan and Kaz are fearless, revolutionary artists. It’s evident in the many ways they have been able to successfully expand and challenge previous notions of the MCU - fostering the new cinematic language. Standardly, Marvel heroes don’t die, yet (spoiler alert) the Eternals begins with a new superhero falling to their death. Ryan and Kaz, through their screenwriting, rebelled against the Marvel ‘rule’ of immortality, which adds a punch of reality.

The Firpos really sought out any way they could bring back a sense of humanity to these heroes, teetering on this idea that an average everyday person is a superhero too. The screenwriters will go down in history as having introduced the very first gay superhero and portraying the first on-screen same-sex relationship in the MCU as well. Kaz told The Hollywood Reporter, “I was raised by two women in the San Francisco Bay Area. It was very normal for me. That normalcy, that completely unremarkable nuance of everyday life, was something I wanted to really reflect from the beginning. It was not this opportunity to say, look how special and diverse this movie is. That’s not what the world is like. We are all people. We all laugh the same way, we cry the same way. That was something we really wanted, was to make that diversity unremarkable. To make it the normal. That was something from the beginning we brought to this movie.”

It’s hard to see the Firpos topping this, but the writers have stated their dream project for the future would be creating an Eternal's prequel series on Disney Plus. Kaz Firpo said, “Go back and do a Kingo episode in 1890s Mumbai where he is juggling his life as a movie star, dealing with Gandhi’s peaceful dissolution of the British empire in India. There’s an episode with Thena where she’s in Greece. I would love to make that show.”

While Marvel Studios execs have suggested there probably won't be Eternals sequels, the film certainly lays the groundwork for future projects involving the characters. The post-credits scenes of Eternals, for instance, introduce new characters who could play a key role in Phase 4 of the MCU.

Eternals is now playing in theaters.
