New photos taken from the set of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special reveal an unexpected connection to Eternals. Planned for release on Disney+ at the end of this year, the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special was first announced by Marvel Studios in 2020. As a fan of the Star Wars Holiday Special as a child, director James Gunn had begun planning the Guardians of the Galaxy event years before any official announcement was made.
The special will see the members of the main cast — Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Karen Gillan, and Pom Klementieff — each reprise their respective roles from the Guardians of the Galaxy films. In a previous interview with Screen Rant, Gillan suggested that it was "totally possible" that the upcoming special was Gunn's best work. Gunn himself would later side with his star, citing the project as a “true pleasure.”However, most plot details are still being kept under wraps, so it isn't yet clear what the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special will entail.

Now new photos from the set in Los Angeles hint at some connective tissue between the events of the Guardians of the Galaxy special and Eternals character Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani).

Making the scene even more interesting, Twitter user Patrick Dougall was quick to point out that the theater is displaying movie posters featuring Kingo, who is a Bollywood star in the MCU.
