Marvel’s Eternals is the story of what happens when ageless aliens (the Eternals) renew hostilities with the beasts (the Deviants) that they’ve been fighting for thousands of years. While these powerful beings have existed for years, they’re being forced out of hiding in part because of the events of Avengers: Endgame. Eternals tells its story across different periods of history, but in the present day the group’s de-facto leaders are Sersi (Gemma Chan), whose touch can transform matter, and Ikaris (Richard Madden) — who feels an awful lot like Superman, as he can fly and blast lasers out of his eye. I won’t spoil the story (I was one of the folks who saw Eternals in theaters), but don’t be surprised that Kumail Nanjiani is up to his old scene-stealing tricks as Kingo, an Eternal who hides in broad daylight as a Bollywood film star. Kingo and his valet Karun (Harish Patel) bring many needed laughs to the movie. Here’s everything to know about how and when to watch Eternals online!
