Marvel Reveals First Footage From ‘Eternals’

Marvel’s announcement of their full upcoming movie slate for the next several years includes the very first footage released from Eternals, the highly anticipated adaptation of Jack Kirby’s comics about a race of ancient aliens living in secret on Earth. The MCU version is directed by Chloe Zhao, who just won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director for Nomadland. And the image above from Eternals does indeed look like a Chloe Zhao movie — only with a lot more space gods than usual.

It includes new footage from Black Panther and Shang-Chi: Legend of the Ten Rings, along with the official titles of Black Panther 2 (Wakanda Forever) and Captain Marvel 2 (The Marvels). The Eternals footage begins around the 2:19 mark:
