These are the protagonists of the film:
Ikaris by Richard Madden…
Ikaris is the most powerful Tactical Leader and Eternal and takes pride in keeping the rest of the Eternals safe. Moral, kind, and charismatic, Ikaris boasts the power of incredible strength, flight, and the ability to project beams of intense cosmic energy from his eyes. When the monstrous Deviants return after centuries, Ikaris leads the charge to unite the scattered Eternals to stop the new threat.
Sersi by Gemma Chan…
Sersi is the Eternal with an affinity for humanity. Sersi is as happy to work as a museum curator as she is to save humans from the threat of the Deviants. Sersi has the ability to manipulate matter, changing the composition of any non-sensitive material it touches. She has also been in love with Ikaris for centuries and helps him recruit the Eternals for one last mission.
Ajax by Salma Hayek…
Ajak is the spiritual leader of the Eternals. His wisdom has helped guide the team since they arrived here from their home planet to help defend humanity from the Deviants and help humans move towards the modern civilization in which they live today. Ajak can not only heal humans and Eternals alike, but he can also communicate with Celestials.
Phaistos by Brian Tyree Henry…
Phaistos is blessed with the power of invention. You are capable of creating anything you can imagine as long as you have enough raw materials at your disposal. Throughout the centuries, Phaistos has helped propel humanity to advance technologically, always keeping its brilliance hidden in the shadows.
Makkari by Lauren Ridloff….
Makkari is the fastest woman in the universe. She uses her cosmic power superspeed to explore planets in search of the Eternals, and as the only deaf Eternal, the sonic boom that accompanies her speed does not affect her.
Drug by Barry Keoghan…
The drug can use cosmic energy to control the minds of men. The drug has turned away from the other Eternals because he disagrees with how they have interacted with humanity over the centuries. Distant and powerful, it is sometimes difficult to determine if he is a friend or foe.
Gilgamesh by Ma Dong-Seok…
Gilgamesh is the strongest and kindest member of the team. He becomes Thena’s de facto partner when events in the past exile them from the rest of the team. Able to project a powerful exoskeleton of cosmic energy, Gilgamesh is a fierce warrior who has become legendary for his fights with the Deviants throughout history.
Thena by Angelina Jolie…
Then, a fierce warrior more comfortable in battle than anywhere else, has the ability to use cosmic energy to form any hand weapon she can think of. Often sullen and distant, she forges an unlikely friendship with Gilgamesh that spans centuries.
Kingo by Kumail Nanjiani…
Kingo can project cosmic energy with his hands. Over the centuries, he has fallen in love with the idea of fame. Today, he is a famous Bollywood star who must give up his life of wealth and celebrity to help the team repel the new threat of the Deviants.
Lia McHugh Sprite…
Sprite appears to be a 12-year-old girl and has the ability to cast realistic illusions. Her friendship with Sersi hides a tired sadness that humanity has treated her like a child for centuries. But Sprite is much stronger and smarter than he looks, which will come in handy while fighting the Deviants.
The Eternos will premiere on November 5, 2021.
