"Comics legend Jack Kirby created them in the ’70s, when he returned to Marvel after a brief time at DC Comics, and the 2020 film will follow the group’s clash against their longtime nemeses, the Deviants." reported ew.com. "It’s about this group of incredible immortals," Zhao teased at Comic-Con, "but through their journey, we really get to explore what it means to be human and humanity on our time on this planet."
MARVEL has been exceedingly adapt at using less recognisable characters and building them up, without much baggage, actually - most notably "Iron Man", and a prime example would also be "Guardians of the Galaxy", with "The Eternals" primed to be THE most ethnically diverse collection of folks we'll see thus far into the superhero film game.
"Thanos" is a Eternal with "Deviant Syndrome".
