My theory is that this is tied into how they explain the X-men. In the comics they were created by the Celestials. It's all set up for the next Phases, along with experimenting how much crazy they can put on the screen.

Angelina, you don't need to post on nerd forums for us to remember who you are.
Any time I see Barry Keoghan I am reminded of Colin Farrels speech about his father in Killing of a Sacred Deer
Are Eternals a full civilization/country or just simply these collection of people?
Eternals are to Mutants as Mutants are to the average house cat
They have 2 cities on Earth, and another on Titan. But they don't all fuck with each other
Apocalypse isn't an Eternal (he's a mutant External who was subject to Celestial meddling, so similar, but he's not an Eternal) so I can't imagine that they will touch him in this film.
I don't expect them to touch any of the Eternals that haven't been announced so far at all tbh. Certainly not any of the ones who not earth based, given they will not want to touch Starfox with a ten foot pole.
Why does earth have its own special race of immortal beings and its own special ancient enemy? Are all of the other planets in the universe dealing with all this shit too?
In the comics there are other worlds/races with Eternals too. The Celestials get around. I don't expect they will be mentioned here though.
Although due to Marvel not really having editors in the 90s there are like forty slightly different but very similar ancient secret races on Earth with their own special ancient enemies in the comics (see The Externals etc).
Hell yes. Show Apocalypse shank Ikaris WITH HIS CHEST in some kind of flashback scene.
He was one of their Ancient Enemies, and he beat the crud out of Ikaris at one point.
I'm curious about this, as someone who isn't familiar with any Marvel comics and only knows the franchise through the MCU and cartoons of old. How are the power scales going to work going forward? If there are immortal all-powerful beings in the mix, the likes of Spider-Man with his webs in NYC or Captain America and his bulletproof shield is a lot more 'small town'. Does that affect the rest of the roster?
I'm guessing power creep and all that is also an issue in the comics but they are, and can be, much more isolated from one another.

TBH most of the Eternals aren't that powerful other than being very hard to kill. They're basically just Asguardians with laser eyes for the most part.
Nah, that's just him in real life:
Nick Cage too:
They can't blow their cover.
The synopsis makes no mention of their technology or hints that they were living in an isolated society together, like Wakanda. In fact it hints at the opposite saying an event causes them to reunite. I imagine they are scattered across the globe living their lives as regular humans, hiding in plain site, until the bat signal goes up and they all meet up.
you know
i like many others were thinking, boy they really better write themselves a good reasoning for where the fuck these Eternals have been all this time
but I don't think you could do better than "they are kind of aloof and don't give a fuck". hey it worked for the Greeks
And still filming now.
It's not the filming that is the issue, it's the Cg time.
So uh if the leaks are to be believed then
that is exactly what they're doing
We'll see. The Avengers DID fuck with timelines so everything's possible in my book. I'm pretty sure they're using Gaiman's general setup though, it worked wonderfully.
Remember Eternal and Deviant are more classfications than racial names. In comics Eternals and Devients are still human offset. Like there Eternal and Deviant Kree, Skrulls,
Feige doesn't stray that far from the super obscure stuff.
no they would have been, they are powerful not all power, except Kronos, he is a special case.
It is always a weak question. Cause common sense would answer it
As much as I'm looking forward to it, I'm kind of sick of some of the laziness on display lately. The whole idea that they sat around during Endgame but the Deviants showing up is enough to wake them up just doesnt sit well for me. It's the same issue I had with Captain Marvel in Endgame where apparently the universe has bigger issues than the fact half of it just got erased.
They could have taken Endgame as an opportunity to introduce these characters ahead of time and not have to ass pull a reason they sat around and did nothing.

It's fine, the movie won't be out until November anyway. If they finish soon, it'll be in line with their other movies.
I just don't want it in line with the end of Black Panther..
The universe is suppose to be a living breathing thing, folks have lives and things come up. They could have been unaware of thanos until he attacked earth and then debated the course of action. That is another thing about eternals they love debate and taking the long view. Which is what usually bite them in the ass. Being immortal they tend to adopt a "and this to shall pass" way of life. Except for a few odd balls like Pixie, The Interloper, and the Forgotten one

A Black Panther only happens if they decide to change the end fight way to close to the release date
I agree. Afaik there was a huge overlap with Avengers Infinity War at the time, both in post-production time and the VFX companies that worked on it. I don't think we know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised that BP suffered from that. I don't think that will be an issue this time around.
Is that what happened? Do you have a source for it? Would be interested in reading about it.
Who's to say it won't.
They are still filming now, reshoots will happen
tyFor those of you who know nothing about them, I suggest checking out the 2006 Eternals series. It's written by Neil Gaiman and only seven issues:
