As part of the promotions forEternals, Marvel Studios has released a hilarious new trailer that narrates the story of the latest heroes to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo takes center stage and makes it his responsibility to introduce his peers to the world. The only issue is that the narration from his perspective is obviously prejudiced.
The official synopsis forEternalswas revealed a while ago, and it confirmed that the heroes with superhuman powers have been living on Earth secretly for centuries.The multipleEternalstrailersconfirm the synopsis and show fans a glimpse of the threats that will force the eternal beings to come out of hiding and unite once again to fight the evil Deviants. Nanjiani’s version of the tale is slightly different, though.

TheEternalstrailer begins with Nanjiani’s voice narrating the history of the MCU, referring to all the events in the previous decade as “a bunch of other boring stuff.” The highlight of the storyline in his opinion was the appearance of Kingo, “eternal extraordinaire and giant movie star.” As he continues to praise his character, Lauren Ridloff,who plays Makkari in theEternals, shows up and viewers know at this point that things will not end well for Nanjiani.
Completely clueless, Nanjiani continues to narrate the story of how Kingo, who is “bestowed with powers far beyond a mortal man,” protected humanityfrom the evil Deviants. The hilarious narration reaches its peak when Nanjiani refers to all the other heroes as a “revolving cast of sidekicks.” It’s all downhill for him from there as Salma Hayek, Brian Tyree Henry, and Angelina Jolie decide to join the show.
Their interaction is bound to get a laugh from the viewers, with Nanjiani seemingly afraid ofJolie’s Thena the most. Hayek even tries to intimidate him by reminding him of Thena’s weapons. It is at this point that he is willing to give the narration a second try, with this turn being a lot more truthful and less biased.
Marvel fans don’t need to hear that though, as thepromotional content being released forEternalshas been constantly reminding them of the heroes’ history and purpose. The excitement for the film is quite high, and fans are ready to find out how theEternals, who had been hiding on Earth all along, will be able to save humanity from the latest threat.
Eternalspremieres in theaters on June 12, 2025.
