Aug. 19 (UPI) — The Eternals grapple with coming out of hiding following the events of Avengers: Endgame in the new trailer for Marvel’s next comic book epic.
Salma Hayek’s Ajak explains to Richard Madden’s Ikaris how Thanos previously wiped out half of the universe’s population before the Avengers were able to bring everyone back in the clip released on Thursday.
The sudden return of the population has ushered in a cataclysmic event known as the emergence. Ikaris and the other Eternals then reunite to save Earth.
The super-powered group also includes Angelina Jolie as Thena, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Lia mcHugh as Sprite and Don Lee as Gilgamesh.
The Eternals came to Earth centuries ago to help humans fight against vicious creatures known as Deviants, but were told never to interfere in other conflicts and remained in hiding.
Kit Harrington’s character Dane Whitman questions why the Eternals didn’t help to stop Thanos or any other war that has taken place across history.
Eternals, from director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), is coming to theaters on Nov. 5.
Marvel also released a new poster for the film featuring the cast standing together heroically.
