ETERNALS Leaked Toy Packaging Reveals A Better Look At Kro And Teases Big Threat To The MCU

Toy packaging for next November's Eternals film reveals a considerably more impressive look at the villainous Kro, while also shedding some light on what the heroes - and the MCU - are up against!

Eternals was supposed to arrive in theaters in a matter of weeks, but after being pushed back to May 2021, it will now be released an entire year after originally planned next November. That means an official look of any sort is probably a long way off, but toys that have already been sent out to stores are providing unexpected first glimpses of the film's characters. 

A new look at the villainous Kro has been unveiled today courtesy of some Marvel Legends toy packaging, and he looks like a formidable opponent for the heroic Eternals. 

The leader of the Deviant's tendrils have been lifted straight from Neil Gaiman and John Romita Jr.'s Eternals run, and these monstrous creations of the ancient Celestials look like something out of a horror film. Even more interesting in some ways is what it says on the packaging for this figure.

"A powerful Deviant unlike any other the Eternals have faced over the millennia, Kro's appearance is the harbinger for a global threat," it teases, likely referencing the return of the Celestials. 

Could Kro be the one that brings them back to Earth after Thanos's deadly attack on the planet?

@Origame - I was thinking the same thing

@Origame - Gotta imagine if he's in it, he doesn't get a lot of screen time.

@JonC - Yeah, I can see him being the big threat that only Ikaris, and due to it being Kit Harrington in the role Black Knight will face.

I'm hyped for this movie because of how different it sounds to all the other MCU movies and the potential it could have from what memory of Eternal comics I remember. But at the same time there hasn't been enough hype to feed my hype.

Bollywood scene is gonna be sexy tho.

Looks like one of Snyder’s New Gods.

Looks like Steppenwolf’s cousin

Before clicking I kinda expected a hint towards Galactus, which wouldn't surprise me if he is a Celestial too in the MCU (like Ego)

@bkmeijer - No man. Pretty sure when they say Ego and Starlord are celestials, they mean celestial beings. As in cosmic beings. Not members of the actual Celestial race.

We've seen what actual Celestials look like in the MCU and they looked nothing like Ego's true form.

@CorndogBurglar - Hmm, makes sense. Wonder what other celestials we'll get to see though
Kumkani
Kumkani - 10/4/2020, 4:39 AM
That looks pretty freaky. I wish he wasn't just grey though. Some unique colours would have been nice.

Not particularly hyped by that design. Linda looks like what aliens looked like in every early 2000s sci fi film

Again, what is this shit? Lol this akin to Steppenwolf. Stop messing with Kirby's designs, man. Update, sure, but not so radically. Yikes
Dacci
Dacci - 10/4/2020, 7:03 AM
@Dredd97 - Deviants can change their appearance...This could just be his battle form... It also said a "Deviant unlike theyve ever seen before" so maybe he's acquired some sort of new power.

@Dacci - Something like this could happening too:
tmp3
tmp3 - 10/4/2020, 7:51 AM
@Dredd97 - Is there some Hollywood law that all Kirby God-like characters must look like monochromatic CG blobs, lol
Dredd97
Dredd97 - 10/4/2020, 9:50 AM
@Dacci - Ok, changing form is a cool idea, but why does it have to be
1) This boring, generic creature
2) this version they chose for the toy
Either way, this ain't their best foot forward for a movie described as "pure Kirby"
Dredd97
Dredd97 - 10/4/2020, 9:52 AM
@tmp3 - idk man lol but it's certainly a horrible trend. It's such a disservice to arguably the most imaginative and bombastic artist in comics history
ElJefe
ElJefe - 10/4/2020, 11:26 AM
@Dredd97 - Agreed, and this movie was supposedly going to honor King Jack’s designs and aesthetics... I had a bad feeling they wouldn’t go full Kirby.
Dredd97
Dredd97 - 10/4/2020, 12:28 PM
@ElJefe - I know, man. As soon as they said that, I somehow knew we wouldn't get this

At least all the way

lawndart - 10/4/2020, 3:34 PM
@Dacci - battle form...like a megazord?

This looks like a rejected symbiote design
SerKurtWagner
SerKurtWagner - 10/4/2020, 6:26 AM
Yeah, this is a bummer of a design. Which is disappointing, considering how good the other art we've seen for this has looked.
Gmoney84
Gmoney84 - 10/4/2020, 7:10 AM
That looks pretty terrible assuming that’s the main look.
HeeroG
HeeroG - 10/4/2020, 7:11 AM
He's a shape-shifter in the comics, so this will be probably his final form or something like that.

I really don't get why a lot of people in this site seem to be so hyped for this movie. I mean I like the idea of the movie, I'd like to watch the Celestials in action and I've read original Eternals run (which is a bit meh), but I can't understand how some of you rank it as your number 1 anticipated film when we really haven't seen that much from it, and what we have seen deviates so much from the source material. It would be awesome to watch the trailer and be blown away by it, but atm I don't get the hype.
