ETERNALS: Leaked Concept Art Reveals An Early Look At Crazy Designs For The Deviants

Marvel Studios has been careful keeping the Deviants under wraps, but concept art that's started doing the rounds on Twitter reveals early designs for these villains which we're confident will scare you!

The delayed release date of Eternals has led to quite a few leaks, and some concept art is doing the rounds on social media that appears to feature very early designs for the sinister Deviants. 

While these deigns do line up with the LEGO sets we've seen (in terms of their shape), the first glimpse of them in the teaser trailer indicated that they will be less animalistic and more sci-fi. 

There's some wacky imagery here, though, and that could be a good indication that Marvel Studios and Chloé Zhao have big plans to do something new in this MCU adventure. They're certainly unlike any other baddies we've seen before, and should make for a formidable threat to the powerful Eternals.

The final Deviant appears to be Kro, though the design is a little different to what we've seen in promo art and merchandise. The confirmed antagonists in Eternals, Kro will look vastly different to his comic book counterpart (he's not bright pink to begin with) but is also less humanoid in appearance.

It seems the plan is for him to be a CGI villain not too dissimilar to Thanos, and as he does have the ability to shape-shift, it's feasible an actor has secretly been cast to play a human version (especially as he's been an occasional love interest to Thena in the comic books).

Thus far, there's been no word on who might be voicing Kro, but if the leader of the Deviants is indeed the main villain in Eternals, then there's a strong chance another A-List star will be joining the MCU.

Gotta love that weird wingless Bat-creature. Wouldn't be a Kirby-inspired alien design, without big googly eyes.

@FinnishDude - Ghaur could be the humanoid form of the vampire creature.

@Repian - he was a little intimidating until you get to the sandals.

I am very excited to see a darker side being added to the MCU.

They look so creepy in the comics. Like off putting and downright weird

If I learned something from Marvel's concept art and final designs is that the final designs rarely stack up to how crazy the concept art looks. So here too I'm expecting the deviants to end up looking nothing as scary as this

@bkmeijer - that pretty much applies to any big budget feature tbh. Concept art is a concept of the absolute pinnacle of what the film aims to achieve visually. More often than not, movies are lucky if they attain even 60% of the goal set by the concept art.

@SnideCut - thats true. Glad in some cases its for the better though (ZSJL for example)

I think of the deviated toad inflated to attack with compressed air. Air can be the source of his power.

Those are definitely some... interesting designs. Might have been cool to see on screen, but I can also understand why Marvel might have gone in a different direction.

Why not FULLY embrace Kirby??? With the bizarre heads, wrinkles, bright skin-colors, bulging eyes... etc.

Instead, what I'm seeing in those Twitter pics are well-done but ultimately, generic fantasy-creature designs from a 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Fantastic Beasts' sequel.

@SuperiorHeckler - These don't look all that generic to me

@SnideCut - Scroll down on the below link and judge for yourself if those above pics wouldn't fit seamlessly into the 'Fantastic Beasts' universe.

@SuperiorHeckler - This so-called Eternals movie hasn't embraced kirby from the start, don't expect them to! This movie has absolutely nothing to do with Kirby, except the name Eternals.

@SuperiorHeckler - looks inspired by some creatures you would see in a Miyazaki animated feature. Zhao did say she was fond of anime influences
SnideCut
SnideCut - 6/26/2021, 9:49 PM
@SuperiorHeckler - I mean, I feel like that's kind of a compliment considering the beast designs in the fantastic beasts films are actually one of the good things about them.
SnideCut
SnideCut - 6/26/2021, 9:49 PM
@kirbyfan - I guess we're gatekeeping kirby now? Smh

Man those are freaky. I hope we get something like that for the final design.

i guess im a minority on this bc i dont like these designs. too much like animals.
SnideCut
SnideCut - 6/26/2021, 9:50 PM
@Superheromoviefan - Only one of them looks anything like an animal. Every one of the others looks demonic, not animalistic

They all make sense though, the Deviants all look vastly different. Those last few for sure have Deviant vibes.

Hey look more weird skinny hunched over monsters with long arms. Seems to be a popular look theses days in so many movies like A Quiet Place 1&2 and shows like Stranger Things and more. 🤷‍♂️🥱😴

I have low expectations for this movie.

Has anyone ever seen the classic horror movie from the 90s called Wishmaster? The Djinn makeup was phenomenal that type of makeup and design would have made perfect Deviants.

Looks a lot like something Guillermo Del Toro would design, so i’m totally down !

Is Gilgamesh in this going to have any relation to his King of Uruk roots?

@Ryguy88 - Wait and watch the movie to see if there's any indication?
