Marvel’s Eternals Star Kumail Nanjiani Went To Therapy After Bad Reviews
Kumail Nanjiani has revealed he began therapy after “reading every review” for the poorly received 2021 Marvel movie Eternals, in which he played Kingo.
Speaking to Michael Rosenbaum (via Variety), Nanjiani said what made things really difficult for him was that he was under the impression Marvel thought the film would get great reviews. Reviews for Eternals did not, however, turn out to be very good in aggregate. The movie is among the lowest-rated MCU films ever.
Also in the interview, Nanjiani said the atmosphere surrounding Eternals felt “heightened” due in part to the COVID-19 pandemic.
