But the alien Celestials are touching down on Earth—and the MCU—in November 2021, with a spectacularly star-studded cast. And a Oscar-winning director. It feels like a lifetime ago that Kevin Feige first introduced the cast at

Gemma Chan as Sersi, who can manipulate matter;
Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, samurai, master swordsman, film star and producer;
Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, superhumanly fast;
Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, often mistaken for the Greek god Hephaestus. He built most of the Eternals’ devices;
Salma Hayek as Ajak, a male character in the comics;
Don Lee as Gilgamesh, a.k.a. “The Forgotten One.” He developed his superhuman strength and durability to a far greater degree than the norm for Eternals;

Barry Keoghan as Druig, who can use cosmic energy to control minds.
