"Joan (Elizabeth Olsen), a recently deceased woman tasked with deciding which of her two husbands to spend all of eternity with: Larry (Miles Teller), who she was married to for 60 odd years, or Luke (Callum Turner), her first husband who died young and who has been waiting 60 odd years for their reunion. At a Q&A held earlier this month in New York, a panel moderator questioned the cast and director: "It feels so impossible, maybe they should just be a throuple?""
""Early on, it was a suggestion, and it was thrown down very quickly," said Olsen, referring to a scene where, Joan, freshly dead and immediately confronted with the spectacle of two bro-ed out husbands jockeying for her affections, asks why she can't just be with both of them. This earnest suggestion is greeted with aghast horror. "It just happened too early in the film," continued Freyne cheerfully,"
Eternity centers on Joan (Elizabeth Olsen), a recently deceased woman who must choose which of her two husbands to spend eternity with: Larry (Miles Teller), her long-time spouse, or Luke (Callum Turner), her first husband who died young and waited sixty years. At a New York Q&A, a moderator asked whether they should be a throuple, prompting Teller to laugh and Olsen to explain that the idea had been an early suggestion and was quickly dismissed. Freyne significantly rewrote the script and noted the throuple idea happened too early. Freyne did not originally write the screenplay. Freyne's previous films include The Cured (2017) and Dating Amber (2020). The film's handling of queer elements reinforces straight romantic norms rather than expanding them.
