The storyline of ‘The Eternals’
According to Collider, at their Comic-Con panel, Marvel has officially announced their forthcoming movie “The Eternals.” They also announced the cast that had heroines like Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, and Lauren Ridloff.
There is also Richard Madden, the HBO "Game of Thrones" actor in the cast. Its director will be Chloe Zhao. Since it will be about imaginary situations in another time and space, there will be adequate scope for animation.
The setting is five million years ago when the Celestials visited Earth. They carried out genetic experiments and created two divergent races. One of them was the long-lived Eternals, the other the genetically unstable and monstrously grotesque Deviants. The mythology is quite complex but Marvel feels with Zhao at the helm and well-known actors, the movie will leave its mark. It is in short, a saga of “The Eternals,” who were a race of immortal beings. They lived on the Earth and shaped its history and civilizations.
