«Eternals»: the first trailer of the new Marvel film (directed by Chloé Zhao)

The scenery, the barren land, the places populated by primordial forms of citizenship, evoke distant worlds. Star Wars, Africa has become a celestial frontier. However, there is no shadow of the Jedi. Eternals, of which the Marvel released the first short trailer on Monday night, it has nothing to do with Star Wars, the contrast between good and evil as George Lucas told it. Eternals, directed by Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, is the chronicle of a millennial awakening. Celestials, creatures read about in Marvel comics, have lived on Earth without ever interfering with the course of human life. For seven thousand years, they have been hidden, souls dormant in earthly chaos. A threat, however, forced them into a rude awakening. The Deviants, a group of evil creatures, have decided to subdue the human race, forcing the Celestials to give up their anonymity.

What the trailer portends, without ever showing, is a battle between superheroes: the good guys on one side, the bad guys on the other. “In November,” promises the film, bringing with it the first images of an extraordinary cast. Chloé Zhao’s debut as a director of a genre film is accompanied by the Marvel universe debut of Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden e Kit Harington, the late Jon Snow. The four are the spearheads of an exceptional cast, which seems to possess the necessary requisites to give rise to a new saga. Another, after the end of the Avengers.
