Thanks to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's dominance of pop culture, the house of ideas' greatest heroes are once again household names, as well as the perfect material for video game adaptations. While we wait for the next movie, check out out our guide to Marvel Phase 4.From bankruptcy in the mid-1990s to global brand powerhouse, Marvel's journey to the top of the intellectual property food chain has been a saga for the ages. In fact, judging by how much chaos the celestial caused, it wouldn't be a surprise if a certain underwater superhero had been disturbed by the awakening. When it comes to the next MCU adventure, though, don't be surprised if someone mentions the God who was living under the ocean floor.

And, if rumors are to be believed, the next Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, takes place directly after Far From Home, which means Eternals takes place after that one, too. Spider-Man goes for a European holiday and is unmasked to the world in the Summer of 2024.Įternals happens, seemingly, after all that.

The details of everything they do are slightly irrelevant when placing the movie on the Marvel timeline.
