Top 10 Characters in the MCU’s Eternals Movie

The origins of Eternals commenced with the arrival of the Celestials on Earth millions of years ago. They conducted several genetic experiments on ancient humans. They ended up generating the two most powerful races in this universe, the immortal Eternals and their hideous and genetically defected counterparts, Deviants.

According to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a group of Eternals arrived on Earth nearly 7,000 years ago. They chose not to interfere with the issues of the human world and lived in disguise for thousands of years. They always considered Deviants as their supreme threat because of their countless epic battles with them. After the events of Avengers: Endgame (2019), they appear once again to protect humanity from the attacks of evil and grotesque Deviants.

Under the creative and artistic direction of Chloe Zhao, Eternals has undoubtedly become one of the most anticipated movies of 2021. She has already grabbed a couple of Oscars for her exceptional work in Nomadland this year. Yes, the stakes are definitely high!

Dane Whitman (honourable mention): Game of Thrones fame Kit Harrington will appear as Dane Whitman in the upcoming Eternals project. He is an expert swordsman who possesses a mystical sword. Along with all the Eternals, this character is also making its live-action debut with this movie.
