Marvel Studios has dropped the first Eternals TV spot for Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloe Zhao’s highly-anticipated MCU film, providing us with some new action-packed footage. The video, which you can check out below, teases the titular heroes’ battles against The Deviants while highlighting each of their powers. It also gives us a first glimpse at Phastos’ family as they meet with Gemma Chan’s Sersi and Richard Madden’s Ikaris.
In addition, Marvel Studios has partnered up with Lexus to release a fun two-minute-long commercial which was directed by The Russo Brothers, with Oscar-wining visual effects company Framestore creating its special effects. It features Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo, who’s having a difficult time finding the right parking spot for his car in the middle of a superhero city battle. Throughout his search, he gets bombarded by texts and missed calls from his fellow Eternals including Sersi and Sprite, reprimanding him that he’s already late for the battle.
