Update: Here's our breakdown of the Eternals trailer.

The first Eternals movie trailer reveals a new look at the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Based on the Marvel Comics characters of the same name, Eternals follows the ancient alien team of Celestials who have lived secretly on Earth for 7,000 years, but must reunite to protect the world from the villainous Deviants. The movie is directed by Chloé Zhao, who won Best Picture at the 2020 Academy Awards for Nomadland.

Since Eternals is about a team of heroes, the Marvel film features an ensemble cast full of A-listers. Announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, Eternals stars Angelina Jolie as Thena, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Lia McHugh as Sprite and Don Lee as Gilgamesh. Additional stars were announced later, including Kit Harington as Dane Whitman, Gemma Chan as Sersi and Barry Keoghan as Druig. Now, get a look at the characters in action in the first Eternals movie trailer.

Marvel Studios debuted the Eternals movie trailer today, which follows the first official footage that was released in early May as part of the MCU Phase 4 teaser. The Eternals teaser trailer features all-new footage, including a first look at all the characters suited up in their superhero costumes. It also teases the story for the movie, though doesn't get into specifics. Check out the trailer below.

The Eternals teaser trailer mainly offers a first real glimpse at the look and feel of Zhao's Marvel movie, showcasing many practical, real-world locations, giving the superhero film a more grounded feel. But there is still plenty of the classic Marvel action and special effects to be seen in the teaser, with the Eternals showing off their powers, indicated by the gold CGI effect. The teaser also shows that the Eternals characters arrive on Earth a very long time ago, then live among humans for thousands of years as society advances. A number of the characters are teased in this trailer, including Harington's Dane Whitman, who is seen in one shot. Considering Marvel has held back from divulging whether Dane becomes the Black Knight as in the comics, it's possible he may not appear too much in any of the trailers.

The footage also teases an event that necessitates the Eternals getting involved in a conflict, though they have largely only guided humans from behind the scenes. The trailer even references the Avengers, with Sprite asking who they think will lead the superhero team in the absence of Captain Rogers and Iron Man. Her use of Steve Rogers' real name rather than calling him Captain America seemingly indicates that scene is set after the events of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, wherein Sam Wilson took on the mantle. It also shows that the Eternals have watched the MCU's superheroes closely, though what it means for the Avengers to see the ancient Celestials step out of the shadows remains to be seen. For now, the Eternals movie trailer offers a good first look at the upcoming Marvel Studios film, though more will surely be revealed in the next trailer.
