So since it has been announced that the Eternals will be hitting the big screen I am really looking forward to their inclusion. They have a long history in the comics and some of them have been members of the Avengers.
Of course the first Eternal we see is Thanos. We see his home world (or what is left of it) and he said his world faced the same problem many other worlds did: Over-population.
Now we don't know what happened to the rest of the Eternals but seeing how they are getting their own movie I think we can assumed Thanos isn't the only one. The question is what role will they play?
Now fans know the Eternals and the Deviants were created by the Celestials. Basically they are similar in terms of powers to Superman but with a few extra abilities thrown in. But how much of their history and abilities will be added into their story will be seen.
Thanos is powerful, but without the gauntlet he didn't show any of the powers his comic counterpart has. But the Titan Eternals are supposed to be less powerful than the ones from Earth. So will these Earth Eternals be on the same level as they are in the comics?
Even if they are powered down for the MCU the Eternals would be one of the most powerful groups introduced in the MCU. More so than the Inhumans. Their role in the history of the MCU and it's future opens a lot of doors to explore the cosmic lore involving the Celestials.
Another question is where have they been all this time? Normally they don't interfere in the affairs of humans but after Thanos wiping out half the universe might cause some of them like Sersi and Makkari to involve themselves in mortal affairs.
Another possibility is they might not remember they are immortal. In the comics one Eternal named Sprite used the power of the Dreaming Celestial to warp reality and make the Eternals forget who they were and make them think they were simple ordinary mortals.
So, what do you guys think will happen with the Eternals? Will Marvel keep them as powerful as they are in the comics? How much of their lore will they keep? What do you think they will bring to the table and will some of them join the Avengers?
