The Eternals
is set for release on February 12, 2021, and will be the first film of Phase 4 to establish a new set of characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. No official plot details have surfaced yet, although
listings for upcoming merchandise
point to possible story beats.
Whilst news from
The Eternals
has been quiet as of late, presumably in anticipation of a new trailer at some point down the road, some interesting tidbits have surfaced. Kumail Nanjiani, who plays Kingo,
talked about the significance
of being Marvel Studios’ first Pakistani superhero as well as the struggles with his self-image surrounding his muscular transformation. A cast listing also indicated that the film would span various different points in history, specifically
some sort of Babylonian wedding
in one portion of the film.

Most notably, Lee shared a photo of his trailer, which includes a new poster featuring
The Eternals:

The image itself is relatively dark and covered in shadow, but some aspects of the poster still stand out. The most apparent aspect is that the
The Eternals
themselves are front and center, reinforcing that they are reuniting to deal with the threat of the Deviants as illustrated by the plot synopsis:
Marvel Studios’ The Eternals features an exciting new team of Super Heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, an unexpected tragedy forces them out of the shadows to reunite against mankind’s most ancient enemy, The Deviants.
The poster also features what seem to be, at-first, unusual light fixtures in the night sky above the team. On closer inspection, these circles of light appear to be from the helmet of a Celestial, the very same one that appears in
Guardians of the Galaxy
. This character’s prominent appearance in this poster conveys the sheer scale of these beings, completely dwarfing
The Eternals
.

Marvel fans will be able to see how the team interacts with these gargantuan beings when
The Eternals
releases in theaters on February 12, 2021.
