If something is becoming clear to us with all the news that is coming out about the next Marvel projects, it is that in this phase 4 of movies, there will be a great cosmic aspect. Thanos is not there alone. Not to be the villain on duty. But instead to prepare the audience for the landing of an upcoming complex saga of galactic proportions: ‘The Eternals’.
Synopsis
“The Eternals” officially introduces to us a fantastic team of superheroes. All of them are ancient aliens and are a part of the marvel cinematic universe. These superheroes are living on earth for a long time now. The movie is a followup to Avengers: Endgame. After the tragic events. The Eternals are forced to meet again and save earth from the deviants who are its greatest enemies.
Jack Kirby created all of these characters in the year 1976 for Marvel. In the comics, millions of years ago. When the cosmic beings known as the Celestials genetically experimented on humans, “The Eternals” were born. They created super-powerful and nearly immortal beings and a more monstrous spice known as ‘the Deviants.’ The two races maintain an eternal power struggle.
This film, also, will be the first Marvel film to feature a protagonist from the LGTBQ collective, although it is not yet 100% known who it will be.
Besides, at the Comic-Con in Sao Paulo, fans were able to see first images without post-production effects of the film, with all the characters in action.
