Kevin Feige Teases The Impact Of Eternals On The MCU's Future
Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, recently teased the important impact that Eternals is going to have on the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward.

The Eternals team defied the orders of their creator, Arishem (voiced by David Kaye), a powerful world-creating Celestial, by stopping the Emergence of a different Celestial, Tiamut, from the Earth. Angry at the sacrifice of a Celestial in exchange for a planet, Arishem is preparing to judge whether or not the actions of the Eternals were justified at the film's end.
While the Eternals are responsible for angering Arishem, who may prove to be a powerful threat to Earth, the Eternals are also thousands of years old, perhaps making them the most well-suited to deal with that threat.

Their wide-ranging knowledge of history and possible threats beyond even the scope of the Avengers means that the Eternals are going to be important going forward in the MCU, and now the head of Marvel Studios has confirmed that fact.
