The Eternals: Everything You Need To Know

9. Sersi Will Be The Main Protagonist

Courtesy of a report from That Hashtag Show, it's looking as though Sersi will be the lead protagonist of The Eternals movie. It's unclear who will be playing her just yet, but one thing Marvel fans need to know for now is that the character is uniquely fond of Earth, and goes out of her way to interact with humans when the opportunity presents itself.

More interesting, perhaps, are her connections to the Avengers. Although the Eternals themselves were not initially meant to be a part of the Marvel Universe, by the time they did join, Sersi struck up a strong rapport with Earth's Mightiest Heroes, so much so that she went on to become a pivotal member of the team.

Given that Marvel will be looking to rebuild the Avengers in the wake of Endgame, it makes sense for Sersi to mirror her arc from the comics and join them too. It's a lineup likely to include Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange and Black Panther, while Shang-Chi, Spider-Man and Sam Wilson's Captain America are sure to follow.

Either way, expect Sersi to have a key role in Marvel's plans going forward.
