For those unaware about the history behind The Eternals, they are an ancient race of powerful beings who were brought into existence by the cosmic entities, the Celestials. The Deviants, similar to the Eternals, were also created by the power of the Celestials. However, the Deviants are a dark mirror of the Eternals and are inherently destructive and desire the destruction of humanity. Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, previously revealed that the Eternals in the MCU were sent to Earth to protect it from the onslaught of the Deviants.
