Eternals: Every Character Ranked From Worst To Best

11. Makkari

It's very, very cool that Eternals counts the MCU's first deaf superhero among its line-up, though Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) is by far the most frustratingly sidelined member of the team.

Makkari's super-speed abilities are extremely neat, but as is the general problem with these sorts of characters, they're inherently over-powered and so tend to be shunted into supporting roles.

That's exactly what happens to Makkari, who is absent for a massive chunk of the movie's middle-portion.

Her romantic chemistry with Druig (Barry Keoghan) is fun and she gets to kick some serious ass while fighting Ikaris in the third act, but overall Makkari feels like one of the less-essential Eternals, welcome representation aside.
