The first full-length trailer and poster for the Marvel Entertainment movie The Eternals was shared on Monday morning.
The cast was seen in the riveting clip as The Eternals, a race of immortal beings with superhuman powers, are seen approaching a beach in their space ship.
Angelina Jolie is spotted several times with her long blonde hair, gold headpiece and various outfits and her co-star Salma Hayek also makes an appearance as she explains in voiceover that her people have always looked after those on Earth but only now are ‘interfering.’
The plot is about the beings – who are often mistaken for the gods of human mythology – that have secretly lived on Earth for thousands of years but make themselves know as they battle the evil Deviants.
This is the first movie from Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao since winning Best Picture and Best Director for Nomadland this year.
The trailer begins with humans dressed in rags looking over a rocky cliff with an ocean below.
The spaceship, which is wide and brown, starts to hover off the seashore as the locals look up in amazement.
‘We have watched and guided. We have helped them progress and seen them accomplish wonders,’ Hayek’s Ajak says in voiceover.
Humanity is seen in a montage from their early stages to more modern era with big, productive cities. There were also flashes of war.
‘Throughout the years, we have never interfered — until now,’ said Hayek’s Ajak.
The cast includes Gemma Chan (Sersi), with Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Hayek, Lia McHugh, and Don Lee, as well as Game of Thrones vets Richard Madden and Kit Harington.
In an earlier teaser it was said in voiceover: ‘When you love something, you fight for it.’
