5 burning questions from the ‘Eternals’ first teaser trailer: Misdirection from Marvel?

First of all, who the heck are the Eternals?!

Marvel released its first teaser trailer for Eternals. And, my goodness, we’ve got some questions.

The trailer is a compelling montage … that doesn’t really tell us much about what the movie will be about. The trailer seems to open with the Eternals discovering ancient humans. Clearly, the Eternals (riding on a spaceship that defies physics) were a bit more advanced than the early human civilization was. The trailer ends with the Eternals laughing and eating a meal together in what is clearly present-day in the MCU. (That’s a lot of ground to cover!)

The video clip features a lot of Ikaris (Richard Madden), Sersi (Gemma Chan) and Thena (Angelina Jolie). That jives with the plot of the comics — with Ikaris and Thena each getting their turns as the leader of the Eternals.

We’ve got a lot more to tell you about this movie, but first, let’s just dive into the trailer.
