Marvel’s Eternals is a very different beast to many other MCU movies; directed by autheor Chloe Zhao, is a slow-paced, meditative story that explores the emotional toll of immortality on a group of extraterrestrials who have lived on the fringes of human society for millennia. This departure from the familiar house style has led many fans to dislike Eternals, but there’s one thing it does as well as other Marvel films: hide Easter eggs in plain sight. And now that the film is streaming on Disney+, a new video on the Heavy Spoilers channel just picked up all the niche references and clues.
The first Easter egg appears seconds into the film: The “six singularities” mentioned in the opening text are a nod to the Infinity Stones, those brightly colored McGuffins who have directed the action for much of the past decade. Following the introductory exhibition montage, as we move to Sersi in present-day London, we see an announcement from the Global Repatriation Council, the organization set up to deal with the aftermath of the Avengers undoing the Snap featured in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
A number of different versions of Captain America’s shield also show up in the movie, first in Kingo’s Bollywood number, and then later on his private plane, where the earliest design is on display. But it’s not just Marvel properties that the movie is alluding to: Eternals includes a couple of nods to DC, with Phastos’ son calling Ikaris “Superman,” and Kingo’s valet Karun being compared to Batman’s butler Alfred.
The Celestial whose “emergence” functions as the movie’s climactic crisis is named Tiamut, which is a reference to an apocalyptic figure from Babylonian mythology. This is especially apt given that ancient Babylon is one of the historical locations where we see the Eternals influencing humanity in the movie.
