ETERNALS Has Been Rated PG-13 For Fantasy Violence...And Brief Sexuality?!

It looks like that's a picture lock on Eternals as the Marvel Studios movie has received its expected PG-13 rating. However, mention of "brief sexuality" has caused quite a lot of discussion online...

Eternals is on track for a big screen release on November 5 later this year, and it looks like Disney and Marvel Studios have the finished product ready to start rolling out to critics over the coming weeks.

The movie is also set to arrive in some international locations at the end of October, so avoiding spoilers might prove to be challenging (that was definitely the case with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings after fan screenings took place weeks before it arrived in theaters). 

As per usual, the MPAA has shared its rating for this upcoming title and we're sure you won't be surprised that it's going to be PG-13. Until Deadpool 3 is released, that's the norm for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the fact that Eternals has received this rating for "fantasy violence and action, some language and brief sexuality" has definitely surprised some fans online. 

"Fantasy violence and action" and "some language" is to be expected, but "brief sexuality" could mean many different things. We could see a relatively tame sex scene or implied nudity, but the sad fact is this probably refers to Phastos (a male character) having a husband. The MPAA is a little behind the times and tends to be pretty strict rating anything with LGBTQIA+ content.

Marvel Studios may have released the final trailer for Eternals, but we're bound to see a lot more from this movie over the coming weeks. As always, you'll want to check back here for updates!
