Marvel Studios’Eternalshas got a new teaser in the form of a fresh photo featuring actor Kumail Nanjiani. The photo in question shows Nanjiani in full costume as Kingo, who is a master swordsman.
Kingo is the best swordsman of theEternalsand he will be using weaponry as his main offensive technique when fighting in this upcoming superhero film.The trailer forEternalsteased a different variety of Eternals who all fight differently, so having a swordsman would be a unique trait to see. In addition to introducing a new set of characters, Marvel Studios' upcoming film will be also introducing the world outside of Earth. TheGuardians of the Galaxyfilms teased other planets but didn’t venture too far out into the realm with the cosmos.

Eternals are a race of cosmic beings that were created by the Celestials, who also created both the Deviants and human beings. Fans of the comic books may know thatThanos had a mixture of both Deviant and EternalsDNA, which is what made him stand out among other villains during his introduction.Eternalsmay dive into a little bit of the Mad Titan’s history prior to his introduction into theAvengersstoryline. The new photo of Nanjiani’s Kingo is courtesy ofEmpire.
Nanjiani’s Kingo has had different incarnations in the comics that vary depending on the writer. The film iteration will, again, be a deadly swordsman but during his time of hiding, he will have been lost in the idea of fame and being a celebrity. However, he must let go of this when he returns to battle with his family.
This is a unique telling of the Marvel character, and it looks to be something more contemporary that viewers and fans can relate to more than the original incarnation of the superhero. If fans don’t get a chanceto see more of Thanos, then hopefully they get the treat of having a new character brought into the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Eternalswill be a new example of Disney and Marvel taking a group of characters who weren’t considered popular at one point and bringing them into the mainstream in order to make them worldwide icons. They turned Iron Man into an icon,made theGuardians of the Galaxy popular, and even changed Ant-Man into a fan favorite. Now it’s time for a new group of icons to rise.
Eternalswill be in theaters on November 5th, 2021.
