- Chloé Zhao began working on the Eternals script while simultaneously filming her movie Nomadland in 2019.
- The 1999 limited comic series Earth X, depicting a dystopian Marvel Universe, served as a major inspiration for screenwriters Ryan and Kaz Firpo when crafting the film's outline.
- Director Chloé Zhao's pitch presentation for Eternals impressed Marvel Studios so much that the studio rushed to hire her before she could commit to another major project.
- Zhao viewed Earth as an eleventh character in the film and drew inspirations from Terrence Malick's filmmaking style, the TV show Ancient Aliens, manga, and concepts from Yuval Noah Harari's book Sapiens.
- Patrick Burleigh, a writer from Marvel's writers program, spent approximately three months working on the Eternals screenplay roughly four months before filming began, focusing primarily on structural elements and story flow.
- The character Phastos was written as the MCU's first openly gay superhero, with actor Haaz Sleiman portraying the character's husband and their child appearing in the film.
- Millie Bobby Brown was reported by Variety to be cast in Eternals in July 2019, but the actress publicly denied she had been cast in the role.
