Eternals director Chloe Zhao teases Kumail Nanjiani's dance scene in MCU movie

Hindustan Times  

Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao says Kingo in Eternals is a character that 'loves pop culture and showmanship', which is why making him a Bollywood star grooving to a ‘beautiful, joyous dance sequence’ in the big Marvel movie felt 'incredible'. Chloe Zhao said Kingo, played by Kumail Nanjiani, was always supposed to be a Bollywood hero. Kingo is a Bollywood star in the present day and I thought that was so interesting because we knew Kingo is going to be a character that embraced the side of humanity that loves pop culture, that loves storytelling, that showmanship," Chloe said responding to a question from PTI during a round table interview with international journalists over Zoom. Asked about plans for a possible sequel, Chloe said she and the team at Marvel were "really encouraged to make a stand-alone and really make a film outside of the main storyline".
