Eternals

The Eternals have lived quietly among humanity for thousands of years. A new crisis brings the scattered group back together and puts their relationship with the people of Earth under pressure. The film introduces an ensemble whose history reaches beyond the familiar Avengers era.

The viewing challenge is learning a group rather than following a single origin. Give the changing alliances and contrasting attitudes toward humanity room to develop. The film is most distinctive when its enormous timescale meets a very personal disagreement about duty.
