The Eternals Know About The Avengers, Film Will Span 7,000 Years

Marvel Studios has always been good at impressing. Against all odds, they managed to create household names out of a lot of their then-B characters, in addition to even more obscure ones like the Guardians of the Galaxy. Over ten years after they launched the MCU, it’s been proven time and again an unwise thing to bet against them in pretty much any respect.

Now, perhaps their next big risk comes in the form of The Eternals, another relatively obscure set of characters to those who don’t read comics. But mainstream audiences aren’t the only ones who don’t know much about the Eternals.

“The Eternals know about the existence of The Avengers. The Avengers don’t know much about The Eternals…Yet,” Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige said at CCXP (via ComicBook.com). “Celestials are a big part of it, you’ve seen a little of the Celestials in Guardians of the Galaxy. Nowhere is the severed head of a Celestial. We will see the Celestials in their full, true enormous power in The Eternals.”

In an interview with Omelete, Feige dug into even more details regarding the Eternals themselves, as well as the ambitious scope of the movie.

“[The Eternals is] an epic that spans 7,000 years of human history, has cosmic connotations, and changes everything we know about the MCU,” Feige explained. “It’s ambitious, and takes…from present-day to Mesopotamia to all sorts of locations and time periods and really feels like nothing we’ve done before.”

Talk about an ambitious tale. A part of me was concerned that for something so obscure that they’d play it safe with a typical story formula, but if we’re to believe his comments, it does sound like they’re going to be taking real narrative risks, which is very exciting.
