Eternals brings together the Marvel and DC universes and I need to lie down

 The movie makes two superhero mentions

 

It’s no secret that Eternals has a lot of characters — some expected, like the 10 top-billed Eternals, some hidden, and some entirely unexpected.  

But there are two superheroes in Eternals who go beyond the pale of “unexpected” to full mind melt.

They don’t appear in the film, but they are mentioned by name, and it’s absolutely outrageous bit of world breaking. Writer-director Chloé Zhao went the extra mile, as if giving Richard Madden’s Ikaris eye lasers wasn’t enough.
