With Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, new episodes of What If...?, Hawkeye and Spider-Man: No Way Home all set to be released over the coming weeks and months, Marvel fans are in heaven as the MCU moves into Stage 4.
However, it's looking increasingly like Chloe Zhao's upcoming film The Eternals is going to be a massive cornerstone of the immediate Marvel future and the latest trailer answers a question that fans have been wondering since Thanos's fatally snapped his fingers and wiped out half of the world's population.
If the Eternals are incredibly powerful and all-knowing, why didn't they stop the mad Titan from committing mass genocide?
During the trailer, we hear Kit Harington’s character Dane ask Sersi (Gemma Chan): “Why didn’t you guys help fight Thanos or any other war? All of the terrible things throughout history?”
When a visibly stricken Sersi tells him that they were instructed never to meddle.
However, no is the time for this immortal alien race to emerge from hiding after thousands of years, to help protect Earth from an evil force.
As Thena (Angelina Jolie) says: “We have loved these people since the day we arrived, when you love something you protect it."
As revealed in the trailer, Tony Stark's sacrifice to bring half of the universe's population back into existence with a snap of the Infinity Gauntlet created enough power to create something called the Emergence to begin.
Get set for an intergalactic smackdown of Celestials, Deviants, Eternals and mankind.
Irish actor Barry Keoghan is just one of many talented actors that will star in Eternals with Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Don Lee, Gil Birmingham, Harish Patel, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie all featuring.
Aside from this, the film is written and directed by Oscar-winner Chloé Zhao.
Marvel's Eternals is due to arrive in Irish cinemas on Friday, 5 November.
