50 free Eternals (Marvel) trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
Eternals sent ten immortals to Earth in 5000 BC and asked them to watch it for seven thousand years, and this quiz covers the whole span: the Domo landing in Mesopotamia, the last Deviant killed in 1521, Sersi and Sprite in modern London, Ajak's death in South Dakota, Druig's village in the Amazon, and the volcano in the Indian Ocean where a Celestial almost hatched. The early questions suit anyone who has seen the film once: who plays Sersi, what Kingo does for a living, who Dane Whitman is, which Eternal flies into the Sun. Then it gets into how the film was made and received: the director's Terrence Malick obsession, the working title, the Nazi bomb found on Fuerteventura, the credits scene starring a pop star, the countries that banned it, and why it became the first Marvel Studios film rated rotten. Every answer has been checked against production accounts and the film's own record, and each question links to its source.
