Eternals (2021) is a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film directed by Chloé Zhao. It follows a group of ancient, immortal beings known as the Eternals, who were sent to Earth by the Celestial Arishem to protect humanity from monstrous creatures called the Deviants. For thousands of years, they have lived in secrecy, shaping human history without interfering in its conflicts. However, when the Deviants mysteriously reappear after being thought extinct, the Eternals must reunite to combat this new threat.
Led by Ajak (Salma Hayek), the team includes powerful beings like Sersi (Gemma Chan), Ikaris (Richard Madden), Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), and Thena (Angelina Jolie). As they uncover hidden truths about their origins and the true purpose of their mission, they face a moral dilemma—should they obey Arishem’s will or protect humanity from an impending cosmic catastrophe?
With breathtaking visuals, diverse characters, and a thought-provoking storyline, Eternals explores themes of duty, love, and the meaning of free will. The film introduces powerful new heroes to the MCU while expanding its cosmic mythology, setting the stage for future conflicts involving Celestials and the fate of the universe.
