Status: Confirmed

Release: November 6, 2020 (Rumoured)

Marvel Phase 4 is going to be getting more cosmic, and that begins with The Eternals. Directed by Chloe Zhao from a script by Matthew and Ryan Firpo, The Eternals will be reportedly be set millions of years ago, making it a prequel to the entire MCU.

The focus will be on the titular characters, who are a race of cosmic beings created by the Celestials, with powers far beyond that of mortals despite their human appearance. Their rivals are the Deviants, also created by the Celestials but who follow the path of hate, whereas the Eternals are peaceful. With the potential to be unlike anything else we've seen in the MCU, ties to Thanos (he's a Deviant) and the Infinity Saga, and with some incredible Jack Kirby-esque visuals to go with it.
