It’s the first time in 26 Marvel cinematic universe films that an intimate conjugal moment was visibly shown between two characters. “There is an elegance to it,” said Salma Hayek, who believes the scene fits in with the film’s overall themes, which also include a same-sex kiss. The actor said the film explores love and it being represented in “different realms.”“It is the love between a man and a women, the love between a man and a man,” Hayek continued. The love of planet Earth, the love of friendship, the love of parenthood.

Marvel’s new film “Eternals” broke the mold in an area the studio has conspicuously avoided for years: Sex between superheroes.

“Eternals,” one of Marvel’s most ambitious efforts to expand its superhero universe, arrived in theaters over the weekend with an estimated $71 million in ticket sales.

At 55, Salma Hayek says she came to feel like the mother of some castmates in “Eternals,” the latest Marvel superhero movie co-starring Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani and others.

In Chloé Zhao’s “Eternals,” Ridloff plays the first deaf superhero in Marvel’s “cinematic universe.”.

The rest of Disney's 2021 slate will all arrive in theaters exclusively, the company said Friday.

ANAHEIM, California (CNN) - Kit Harington has been confirmed for a role in Marvel's "The Eternals," bringing the "Game of Thrones" star into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Harington will play Dane Whitman, aka the heroic Black Knight, in the movie. That's not one of the characters known as the Eternals in the comics, which were created by Jack Kirby. Deadline had reported that Harington would be joining the Marvel stable, without any details about in what capacity. Friday, the studio unveiled a lineup of Marvel and "Star Wars"-related series for its streaming service, Disney+.

The show earned four nominations on Tuesday lead actor (Eugene Levy), lead actress (Catherine O'Hara), outstanding comedy series and outstanding contemporary costumes (Debra Hanson and Darci Cheyne). Pop TVSnub: Jim Parsons & 'The Big Bang Theory'While "Schitt's Creek" entered the outstanding comedy series category, "Big Bang Theory," which aired its final episode in May was ousted. The sitcom has been an Emmy darling, earning 55 nominations and 10 wins during its 12 seasons. However, come 2019, the show only received three nods outstanding technical direction, outstanding directing for a comedy series and outstanding multi-camera editing for a comedy series. In fact, the nominees are the same line-up as last year "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah," "Full Frontal with Samantha Bee," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver," "The Late Late Show with James Corden" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images(CNN) - The Emmys usually offer a mix of old and new, but sentimental favorites could be more pronounced at this year's nominations, with "Game of Thrones" defending its crown, "Veep" waging its final campaign and "The Big Bang Theory" having a shot at one last big bang. New series can bring freshness to the awards, even if "The Kominsky Method" brings old pros Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin into play. Wild cards include NBC's quirky "The Good Place," Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Amazon import "Fleabag," and Netflix's "GLOW" and "Russian Doll." In that respect, if the 2019 Emmys feel messier and more disjointed than usual, they might just be a teaser of what's to come. The main Emmy telecast will be held Sept. 22 and televised live by Fox.
