Given that Gorr the God Butcher quite literally is destroying worlds and Gods on his rampage to extinct the universe of them, it is of no surprise that the film would feature Eternals too.

The beings are certified with god-like powers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as such can be categorized as Gods.

Thor: Love and Thunder launch theatrically on July 8, 2022.
