Marvel’s Eternals action-packed TV spot features gay couple

Now that more semi-founded heroes like Shang-Chi and Black Widow got their solo movies, this is the Eternals‘ time to shine. New batch of cosmic weirdos heading to the Marvel Cinematic Universe make their debut in a month by director Chloe Zhao, which means it’s time for the commercials to start.

All in all, it sounds exactly like how Marvel Studios usually markets its movies.
