With Marvel Studios The Eternals releasing next month, the film will introduce the fans to ten superheroes, one of them includes superstars Angelina Jolie’s superhero character Thena, while the superhero fans know that the film will explore the events that took place during Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame to justify why Eternals who were also present on earth throughout the events did not protect the universe from the Mad Titan, as explained by The Eternals director Chloe Zhao in an interview. "The audience will understand why, but how complicated not interfering made them feel. We explore that. You'll see that in the film. The Eternals were instructed not to interfere with any human conflict unless Deviants are involved. There's a reason why that's the case. And that was the instruction from the prime Celestial Arishem."

Angelina Jolie in a recent conversation with ComicBook.com teased the secret history of her superhero squad Eternals with Avengers. "I think we're assuming that we know everybody because we've been around forever," Jolie explained. "So we definitely had the opportunity to be everywhere in every... We've been, I think that's the fun, now, if you watch the other ones, we've been there.”

She further went on to tease Phastos' role in the film. “The question is, are there certain things that Phastos' [Brian Tyree Henry] created that you've been watching and thinking it came from something else? Was it actually Phastosor has somebody else been doing? You know, did you heal something, did something happen that you haven't realized we've been there?"
