The film does, however, lay some interesting groundwork for the future and drop a number of cool Easter eggs for those who have followed the Eternals’ saga in the comics.Įternals not only gives us a Game of Thrones reunion between Richard Madden and Kit Harington, but it also introduces a major character from the Marvel mythos. The Snap is mentioned, as are the Avengers, but none of these references necessitate that you see the prior 29 films and TV shows in the MCU. Eternals clearly exists within the canon, of course. Instead, Chloé Zhao’s film is one of the rare Marvel Cinematic Universe projects that doesn’t prioritize its connections to the larger franchise. There isn’t time or even the need to reference events in the larger MCU, like Spider-Man’s identity reveal, the death of Tony Stark, or a mention of mutants. With ten new characters, a supporting player set up for a major role in the future, plus cameos, space gods, and a whole new mythology concerning the origins of the universe, Eternals has a lot on its mind.
