The cast of Marvel’s Eternals boasts a rather large roster, with fans debating on which new additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe are their favorites. Two characters in particular, Barry Keoghan’s Druig and Lauren Ridloff’s Makkari, appear to have captivated audiences with their onscreen chemistry. While Sersi (Gemma Chan) and Ikaris (Richard Madden) will most likely get the majority of attention for the centuries-spanning love story, the duo of Druig and Makkari have also gained their own devoted fanbase, with audiences heading to social media to declare their love. WARNING: Potential spoilers for Eternals can be found below.

Much of the reactions on Twitter have fans ranking their favorite Eternals. “Makkari and Druig are THE couple of #Eternals,” one fan wrote. “I definitely read that Makkari and Druig have a sibling type relationship but the mf must have lied because what im seeing on the tl is clearly not a sibling vibe,” another fan speculated. One even commented on a forehead embrace between Druig and Makkari. “When people do the lil forehead touches in tv shows/movies and books it literally makes me so soft so when Druig and Makkari did it i literally LOST IT. THEYRE SO FUCKING CUTE.”
Barry Keoghan has already revealed which Marvel characters he’d like to see Druig interact with on the big screen. “Loki and Thor definitely, and Spider-Man,” Keoghan told ComicBook.com. “I loveย Thor: Ragnarokย as well, that’s a deadly film.”
The creative minds behind the MCU have given some thought to how each project should connect to the larger universe.
“It almost has to just feel like it’s a pocket story or else you starts to go, ‘Yeah, where is Doctor Strange? If Doctor Strange is here, well doesn’t that mean that Spider-Man should swing by?’” producer Nate Mooreย explained during a visit to the film’s set in 2020. “You know what I mean? I think being too connected almost would be more of a danger than saying, ‘Okay, let’s just tell the story.’”
“Look, if the world were ending, I suppose,” Moore continued. “Inย Iron Man 3, where they kidnapped the president, and Captain America wasn’t like, ‘Hey, let me get in there.’ You know what I mean? And I think audiences are game to just enjoy the movie for what it is and hopefully the movie’s so enjoyable, you’re not asking those questions.”
Eternals is now available in theaters.
