    I like that part of the trailer seems specifically made to answer the question/comment everyone had after the teaser re: not interferring and Thanos [face_laugh].

    This is actually a really good trailer, though. The comedy stinger is far less awkward and much more effective in this one than the last. Only thing missing is maybe a hint at Deviant motivations and/or what the Emergence is.

    I'm still not sure how the Black Knight will fit in with this.

    Somewhere within the camera frame.

    I admire and am open to anything made by Chloe Zhao, but especially in comparison to Shang-Chi, this looks intensely boring.

    Have you seen how most of her movies look? :p

    Nomadland looked the same way and was apparently amazing...

    My first thought was, "That's not how you spell The Quickening."

    Nomadland was incredible. I, however, think this looks more interesting in comparison to how Black Widow or Shang-Chi looked from their respective trailers, so YMMV.

    Yeah, for clarity -- I'm not saying Nomadland was bad (or the trailers were bad), but the Nomadland trailer looked boring and still intrigued me (I did not see the film). So if The Eternals trailers seem boring, I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing.

    Chloe Zhao has earned enough of the benefit of the doubt.

    I like that the aesthetic is a bit different than a lot of the other MCU films. Looking forward to this one.

    If we're talking about the same kid, I know it sounds stupid but I thought she reminded me of the kid from Waterworld.

    It's definitely an intriguing trailer. Looks like one of these types of movies that will feature CG special effects every five minutes or so. As a non-comic buff, I know absolutely zero about the Eternals; but then again I didn't know a thing about GOTG and enjoyed those movies.

    First trailer set up the tone. This trailer sets up the story.

    Pretty cool how Marvel is completely owning the in universe fallout of Infinity War and Endgame as the driving plot factor in multiple movies and series.

    Also looks like Richard Madden could be playing a sort of Superman type character. He was a fan favorite fir the role years ago. Playing a Superman type really frees him up to make this character his own while still instantly familiar as a start point.

    No, he's talking about Barry (The Killing of a Sacred Deer) Keoghan.

    @Ahsoka's Tano LOL, no. I was talking about George from Dunkirk who is playing Druig in Eternals which means nothing to me. And what @soitscometothis said.

    Oh ok. I was talking about the child among the Eternals.

    Yeah I don't know who the child is, but I got Arya Stark / Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) vibes.

    He’ll probably be the Everyman character as he’s not an Eternal, but is Sersi’s present day human boyfriend. I’m sure he’ll inherit the armor we saw in the teaser though.

    EDIT- Whoops, nevermind! The trailer actually says the Snap happened 5 years ago, not the Unsnappening. For a moment, I thought we had our first Phase 6 movie!

    I think "the Emergence" is one of those deep in the weeds references for comics fans of The Eternals (for the dozens of them I assume are out there anyway). I've only read the Gaiman run but I think I know what it will end up being.

    In that run there was a sleeping Celestial buried in the Earth. It's awakening was never referred to by a specific name but I think the movie is going to be centered around a variation of the concept that run was based on.

    BTW in that run ...

    one of the Eternals was ultimately responsible, willingly so, for that "Emergence". So I'm half expecting a traitor amongst us angle as well.

    you know how they often like to cast unknowns in a role so whatever they've done before isn't in people's minds?... people might think this is dumb...but when i see Angelina Jolie it kind of takes me out of it. i see her and i just think of the tabloid stuff . From the weirdness with Billy Bob, to her brother to Brad and the kids.

    The child? I think you're talking about Sprite. Sprite is thousands of years old like the rest of them and is the trickster of the bunch.

    It’s so cute how they think they have to explain away the MCU continuity issue…in the trailer. Why wait?

    Because the non-intervention vs Thanos issue was the only question everyone was asking after seeing the teaser trailer.

    I think this is an excellent opportunity. Sir Percy's modern name should be "Master P", and he should be played by rapper and Nickelodeon television actor Percy Robert Miller.
