The lack of human role is n’t the only surprise . Though very small is hump of the plot , what has been support is that it will involve the Celestials ' creations , the Eternals , battle the Deviants on Earth . However , no Deviants are currently part of the mould , thoughMadden has said moreEternalscasting declaration are coming . So until then , the villain ofEternalswill remain a closely - guarded arcanum , but the rogues ' gallery of the comic book adaptation of the Eternals could shed some luminance on who on the nose the MCU ’s newest torpedo will be fighting . Here are the characters who could be the movie ’s independent scoundrel .
Warlord Kro
If Marvel goes with the most obvious choice , The Eternals ' villain will no doubt be Warlord Kro , who is their big enemies in the comics . Kro is a member of the Deviants , who , like the Eternals , are a familial offshoot of humanity . The difference is that the Deviants are atrocious in appearance . They do n’t share the Eternals ' graven image - like ability or their immortality , but one Deviant has make out nigh in at least one aspect . Due to a genetic mutation obscure to the repose of his wash , Kro has populate for at least 20,000 year . Several millennium ago , he started a love affair withThena , a relationship he pronto work in the modern era , and even more so when she became their newfangled leader .
Despite his beloved for Thena , Kro has long been an opponent of the Eternals . His ambitions of ruling the Deviants and defeating the Eternals have often lead him into conflict withIkaris , Thena , and the others . He brought a great deal strife to the mathematical group due to his history with Thena . Thena ’s compassionateness toward Kro threaten to rupture the Eternals aside , as Thena had a tendency to show Kro mercy . This was something that revolt and infuriated Ikaris , who jar with her oft over her leadership .
The Celestials
The Celestials , or as the Eternals sometimes called them , " The Space Gods " , are powerful cosmic being who traveled the universe , experimenting with different living - forms . It was they who create both the Eternals and the Deviants . A Celestial was already the main baddie of a Marvel movie , withEgo the Living PlanetinGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2 , butThe Eternalscould bid a much different coming but by adapting a version of the firstEternalscomic book series .

In the original series , the main threat were the Eternals ' Almighty . The Eternals were warned that after 1,000 years , the Celestials would return to Earth and evaluate if it still deserved to be . It was up to the Eternals to keep both the Deviants and the human beings in line so as to avert anyone striking back and threatening an unfavourable decisiveness from the Celestials . The seemingly limitless power of the Celestials has always hulk over the Eternals , and is something that could bet out in the movie , specially withthe Celestials set up in the MCUalready .
Druig
It ’s potential that the baddie has actually already been cast , and that the Deviants will be just pawns in the motion-picture show . Druig will be played by Barry Keoghan inThe Eternals , and he is potentially the most virtuously doubtful of all the character so far . Druig get up in the same class as Ikaris . In his untried days , he grow to begrudge Ikaris and became jealous of him . As the years passed , Druig developed a gloomy side . While serving as a KGB ship’s officer , Druig descend to realise that he enjoyed torment and the feeling of inflicting botheration on others .
Similar to the MCU ’s Loki , Druig has always been sort of a " black sheep " among the Eternals . Druig does n’t agree with the way of life the Eternals persist things , and has always been different from the rest of them . The power - hungry Eternal , who bears the title of " The Lord of Nightmares and Flames " , has been known to occasionally change by reversal against his allies to get on one of his scheme . Will the MCU ’s Druig trick the Eternals into fighting the Deviants ? Keoghan is no stranger to encounter glum , twisted , and manipulative type , well exemplified by his carrying out inThe Killing of a Sacred Deer , so this might well be why he’slanded the role in the MCU .
Ghaur
In deviate society , much of the power belongs to priest - lords like Ghaur , who help determine the destiny of their kind by killing off the most horribly mutated Deviants so as to get them out of the gene pool . The priest - noble also act as advisor to the Deviant leader . This was the part of Ghaur , but he was unsatisfied with his position , so he chose to put someone on the throne who he think he could check . With Kro as his instrument , Ghaur broach a conflict with the Eternals and became a menace to the total Marvel Universe when he seized control of a Celestial ’s body . Ghaur returned as the main villain of the 1989 Marvel Comics crossover event , " Atlantis Attacks " , which saw the Avengers , the Fantastic Four , and many more come together to hold on him from bringing back the snake god , Set .

Ghaur has proven to be a redoubtable adversary for both the Eternals and the Marvel Universe . So with the Deviants confirm to be in the moving picture , it wee-wee sense that Ghaur could be the one pull the twine in whatever conflict Ikaris and the others are faced with inThe Eternals .
