The Eternals will mark a before and an after in the Marvel Universe, as it will present the story of the oldest beings in their mythology, the ones who created the Marvel reality. And it seems to have leaked what his true connection to Thanos, which made it so difficult for the Avengers in Endgame.
According to The Direct, a Marvel exhibition called Avengers STATION set in Toronto, Canada, which offers an interactive tour of some of the secrets of the UCM, some details are explained in reference to Thor, including a definition of Thanos in which is explained to be “the last of an ancient and highly sophisticated species known throughout the universe as The Eternals.”
The exhibition also adds that the origin of the Thanos is in the moon of Saturn Titan, and that it must be considered as highly dangerous, as it poses a threat to the entire universe. That is, it has been officially confirmed that the villain played by Josh Brolin is one of the Eternals. In fact, one of the last survivors.
The true nature of Thanos is not unknown to comic book fans. Son of Els Eterns A’lars and Sui-San, he is also the cousin of Thena, who will be played by Angelina Jolie in the next UCM film. Another interesting thing is how it is mentioned that the Mad Titan is the last of its kind, reaffirming the theory that The Eternals have been hidden on Earth for millennia, a fact that will be key in the plot of the film.

The film has been delayed until November 5, 2021 after the readjustment of the calendar of Marvelite premieres caused by the coronavirus academy.
