'The Eternals' trailer prompts netizens to choose their own leader in "The Avengers"

The final few seconds of The Eternals trailer saw one of the main members of The Eternals cast ask a question that has been on the minds of MCU fans since the release of Avengers: Endgame. This question was met with a response by Richard Madden's Icarus, who nonchalantly said "I Can Lead Them". Two to three seconds later, all of the leading The Eternals characters burst into laughter. But, fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe chose to take to Twitter in order to appoint their own leader of the group of earth's mightiest heroes. Additionally, certain members of the Twitterati have drawn parallels between the final moments of The Eternals teaser trailer as well as that of the Joss Whedon-directed 2012 film, The Avengers. Those tweets can be found below.
