A new trailer for filmmaker Chloe Zhao's much-anticipated movie Eternals dropped on social media on Thursday, giving another glimpse of the superhero group.
A
new
trailer
for
filmmaker
Chloe
Zhao's
much-anticipated
movie
Eternals
dropped
on
social
media
on
Thursday,
giving
another
glimpse
of
the
superhero
group.
Directed
by
Zhao,
the
movie
is
about
the
titular
group
who
has
been
living
on
earth
for
the
past
7,000
years.
Created
by
cosmic
beings
called
Celestials,
the
Eternals
have
been
sent
to
Earth
to
safeguard
the
planet
from
their
evil
counterparts
Deviants.
The
movie
features
a
starry
and
diverse
cast
of
Gemma
Chan
as
Sersi,
Richard
Madden
as
Ikaris,
Angelina
Jolie
as
Thena,
Salma
Hayek
as
Ajak,
Kumail
Nanjiani
as
Kingo,
Don
Lee
as
Gilgamesh,
Brian
Tyree
Henry
as
Phastos,
Lauren
Ridloff
as
Makkari,
Lia
McHugh
as
Sprite
and
Barry
Keoghan
as
Druig.
The
new
trailer
starts
with
Hayek's
Ajak
explaining
the
events
that
happened
in
Avengers:
Infinity
War
and
Avengers:
Endgame.
She
says
the
events
that
unfolded
in
Endgame
have
led
to
a
new
"emergence",
referring
to
the
Deviants.
For
the
fans,
the
trailer
offers
an
explanation
to
one
of
the
most
compelling
questions
they
had
after
watching
the
teaser
trailer
which
was
released
in
May
--
Why
didn't
the
Eternals
stop
Thanos
from
wiping
off
half
the
humanity
in
"Infinity
War?" In
a
scene,
Chan's
Sersi
is
seen
explaining
the
origins
of
the
Eternals
to
her
current
boyfriend
Dane
Whitman,
played
by
Madden's
Game
of
Thrones
co-star
Kit
Harington.
"Why
didn't
you
guys
help
fight
Thanos?
Or
any
war
or
all
the
other
terrible
things
through
history?"
asks
Whitman
as
trailer
shows
some
of
the
worst
human
tragedies,
including
the
dropping
of
nuclear
bombs
in
Japan.
To
this,
she
replies,
"We
were
instructed
not
to
interfere
in
any
human
conflicts
unless
Deviants
were
involved."
The
trailers
then
shows
a
celestial,
implying
that
the
orders
came
from
the
groups' creators.
Unlike
the
first
teaser,
the
new
trailer
is
action-packed
and
Madden's
Ikaris
is
seen
firing
cosmic
energy
beams
from
his
eyes
in
air
while
battling
a
Deviant.
In
the
next
frame,
Nanjiani's
Kingo,
who
was
seen
in
a
Bollywood
dance
sequence
number
in
the
earlier
trailer,
fires
cosmic
energy
projectiles
from
his
hands
towards
a
creature.
The
action-packed
trailer
also
gives
a
glimpse
at
Kro,
the
leader
of
the
Deviants.
Zhao,
who
recently
won
an
Oscar
for
best
director
for
her
film
Nomadland,
has
penned
the
film's
screenplay
with
Patrick
Burleigh
Ryan
Firpo
and
Matthew
K
Firpo.
Produced
by
Marvel
Studios,
Eternals
will
be
released
in
November
this
year.
