Even though the movie received mixed reviews, it grossed over $401 million worldwide, becoming the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2021. The film's opening weekend earned $162 million globally, which was the second-largest worldwide opening weekend in the COVID pandemic for a Hollywood film.

Eternals was pathbreaking in several ways as it featured MCU's first deaf and openly gay superhero. In Eternals, Phastos, played by Brian Tyree Henry, is Marvel’s first openly gay superhero. He is in a same-sex marriage with Ben, portrayed by Haaz Sleiman, and they have a son together. Makkari, played by Lauren Ridloff is the first deaf superhero in MCU. The movie was banned in several countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman due to the depiction of a gay couple in the movie. 

In an interview with news.com.au., Jolie said, "I’m sad for [those audiences]. And I’m proud of Marvel for refusing to cut those scenes out. I still don’t understand how we live in a world today where there’s still [people who] would not see the family Phastos has and the beauty of that relationship and that love. How anybody is angry about it, threatened by it, doesn’t approve or appreciate it is ignorant."
