I assume The Eternals were not included in the Universal Marvel contract? If not, I'm sure Disney is hoping this movie lands like the Guardians of the Galaxy so that they could incorporate the characters into the parks (initial reviews don't seem promising to that effect, though).

Eternals shouldn't be among the "families" covered by the Uni contract (though perhaps Sersi specifically might not be allowed to be used). They should in general be free game for WDW. Shang-Chi as well for that matter and we know they used Dr. Strange before. So, there's options if they wanted to do some Marvel stuff in WDW.

Absolutely. They will want something at DHS after Guardians opens next year.

Hubby was appalled that they're using Sersi...his reaction was "she's not one of the Eternals...and she doesn't help people".

To be honest, I know literally zero about the Eternals, so I'll see the movie when it comes out on cable or I can stream it at no additional cost...and I may like it. I've found that often, because I have no preconceptions about what "should be" or what already exists in the realm of the Marvel Comics (I never got into comic books), that I am far less critical of the Marvel films than my husband and sometimes enjoy them more than he does.

If the preview is playing at DHS that means these characters can be used in park, it's as simple as that.
The Eternals also appeared previously in Walt Disney Presents in 2019.

If Universal Studios stops using a character or never had it in the first place, it's then fair game for WDW.
