Marvel has released a new teaser for Eternals that features one character saying the "Eternals assemble" line, playing off of the iconic catchphrase used by the Avengers.
The teaser trailer, titled "Change," opens with a montage of Avengers: Endgame clips narrated by Salma Hayek's Ajak who recounts some of the events that have happened in the lead-up to the immortal warriors emerging from the shadows for battle. "Humanity once believed we were Gods. With what this planet now faces, they will believe again," she says.
The clips then show the titular team reuniting to go up against mankind's most ancient enemy, the Deviants. Around the 0:20 mark, Richard Madden's Ikaris is heard saying the "Eternals assemble" line — a callback to the Avengers catchphrase that was famously uttered as a battle cry to bring all of Earth's Mightiest Heroes together.
The film's nods to Endgame help to bring Eternals place in the larger MCU tapestry into focus, with the Celestial-made superheroes forced to deal with "an unexpected tragedy" in the aftermath of the 2019 Marvel blockbuster. Chloé Zhao's upcoming MCU tentpole is also expected to address the reason why the Eternals didn't help the Avengers fight Thanos.
Marvel's Eternals will apparently have "a very big effect" on the future of the MCU. Zhao previously touched on the importance of the movie, hinting that the film will leave a lasting impression on the MCU following its release this November, though she stopped short of sharing any specific details about what the future may look like with the Eternals in the mix.
Eternals features one of the MCU's most diverse ensembles, with Richard Madden as Ikaris, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Angelina Jolie as Thena, and Kit Harington as Dane Whitman/Black Knight.
Marvel's Eternals is due out on November 5 and is the next Phase 4 movie on deck following the theatrical release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings in September. Zhao's film is expected to follow Shang-Chi's release model, with an exclusive run in theaters next month before moving on to streaming platforms at a later date.
