While Marvel Studios’Eternalsmay have received a PG-13 rating for its U.S. release, it appears the superhero film has earned a more strict rating in Russia.
Marvel Studios’Eternalsfollows a group of cosmic beings known that were created by the celestials, who are also known for making the Deviants and humans. In the comics,Thanos has both Eternals and Deviant DNA, so fans are hoping some of the Mad Titan’s backstory will be explored in the film.

Eternals' release is a little over a month away, so it by now has received ratings that have mostly been around PG-13 for “fantasy violence and action, some language and brief sexuality.” The trailer has teased an aspect for each of these, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that Russia has reportedly givenEternalsan 18+ rating. This news is according to one of Russia’s movie sites, Kino Metro, and such a rating is usually given to films that are “prohibited for children.”
The only aspect ofEternalsthat may be inappropriate for children is the “fantasy violence” or “brief sexuality.” Marvel Studios films aren’t known for highlighting romance or sex scenes, so this may be the first time where they change up the formula.TheEternalstrailerhas a depressing atmosphere and a lot of combat, so maybe that’s also what caused the rating. Right now, it’s all speculation until fans finally see the movie in theaters this November.
Eternalswill be bringing in a groupof new superheroes rather than just one solo hero, as Marvel Studios typically does, so expect many fans to gravitate to their favorite member of the Eternals. There’s plenty of different heroes to pick and choose from, with each one bringing something different to the table.
After introducing the cosmos inEternals, fans are hoping to get one step closer to discovering the cosmic entity older than the universe itself, Galactus. Typically a villain ofthe Fantastic Four, Galactus would be a threat bigger than anything theAvengershave faced before. While Marvel is casting for its Fox properties, many fans are wildly speculating about what to expect for the upcoming changes to be made in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
