Marvel Studios has released new footage of its upcoming titled Eternals, offering a deeper look at the latest entry in the MCU saga. In the new teaser, the group’s several powers and abilities have been showcased while also giving a sneak peek at the personal lives of the Marvel’s newest superheroes.
The clip begins with Gemma Chan who is playing Sersi, explaining the Eternals’ mission to come to Earth to protect humans from the threat of creatures named Deviants. The trailer offers a first look at the abilities of Don Lee’s Gilgamesh, featuring a shot of the character throwing a punch against a gigantic charging monster. Richard Madden as Ikaris also uses his laser vision and flight while Angeline Jolie who is appearing as Thena, swings a golden sword to slice at an oncoming projectile of volcanic matter.
Marvel’s first openly gay superhero, Phastos, which is being played by Brian Tyree Henry, is also given a spotlight in the new footage. A scene featuring the hero’s husband (Haaz Sleiman) and son meeting Ikaris, with his son excitedly claiming he’s seen him on TV, gives the trailer a heartwarming break from its action shots.
Being helmed by this year’s Oscar award-winning filmmaker for Searchlight Pictures’ Nomadland, Chloé Zhao is the director of Eternals. Along with Chan, Madden, Jolie, Henry and Lee, the film also stars Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Barry Keoghan as Druig and Salma Hayek as Ajak. Kit Harington plays human Dane Whitman, aka the Black Knight.
Eternals will release in theatres on November 5.
