Suggested by justincasts
A four-film epic adventure centered around the super species Eternals, their history, conflicts, and adventures in the present and past. Film 1 is an origin story type film exploring the history of the Eternals and Deviants, and their conflict, culminating in a big twist that sees the Celestial creators and their lack of emotion as the ultimate cosmic antagonists. Film 2 explores the conflict long brewing between Ikaris and Druig over how to relate to humanity that finally boils over into a war featuring the X-Men assisting the Eternals against Druig and the invading Horde. Film 3 delves deep into the history of the Eternals and introduces the Patriarchs Uranos and Kronos, and the reverberations of their ancient conflict. Also, Thanos takes over the Eternals hoping to use them to expand his conquering army, placing them in conflict with the Avengers and X-Men. Film 4 awakens the Progenitor - a long dormant Celestial believed to be responsible for Earth's superpowered people - who initiates Judgment Day, while Druig unleashes the banished Uranos to eliminate the mutant species, causing an all out war between factions of the Eternals, Avengers, and X-Men. But a small team comprising members of each will hopefully stop the conflict before judgment is rendered.
