Marvel Studios' Eternals got a new poster that showcases every single hero in the upcoming live-action film. Eternals will take place after Avengers: Endgame and follows a group of heroes who have been in hiding on Earth for thousands of years.
Eternals will introduce a whole new side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which may take fans further into the cosmic space as they're introduced to the Celestials, who are responsible for creating Deviants, Eternals, and humans. Hardcore fans may know that Thanos was a creation of both Deviant and Eternal DNA. If the film goes deeper into his backstory, maybe fans will now know more about the Mad Titan.
No word as to whether or not fans will learn of Thanos' creation or if it will be accurate to the comics, but many fans are hoping Eternals will bring them closer to the introduction of Galactus. Galactus is the villain that many are anticipating, but right now there are other villains that fans have to worry about before his introduction, such as Kang the Conqueror. In the meantime, fans can get a new glimpse at the roster of Eternals heroes, who will be played by a diverse group of actors.
Eternals have primarily been popularized in comic books and haven't made many appearances in any other Marvel properties. This is unique considering even the relatively unknown Guardians of the Galaxy had made appearances in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated television show prior to their live-action feature film debut. The Eternals haven't appeared in any popularized Marvel media, aside from comics, prior to the upcoming film.
Eternals are the next slew of heroes who aren't typically well known or popular amongst the masses. Spider-Man, X-Men, and Hulk were typically known as the popular heroes of Marvel prior to the 2008 Iron Man film. Heroes such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, Ant-Man, the sorcerer Doctor Strange, and even Iron Man weren't considered anything more than "B-Tier" heroes prior to their individual live-action debuts in the MCU.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings did a good job at bringing a relatively unknown character to the limelight. The film did very well, introduced the martial arts genre to the MCU, and even introduced several new characters who have become fan-favorites. Hopefully, fans can now accept the Eternals into the Marvel family once their solo film hits theaters.
Eternals will debut in theaters on November 5th, 2021.
