New trailers: Eternals, Welcome to Earth, The Girl in the Woods, and more

Eternals comes to theaters November 5th | Marvel

So we had the big heel turn that's been hinted at all season, plus some big moments for two of the show's couples, which made Ted Lasso's penultimate episode of season two very stressful to watch (for me, at least). I have no idea how they will wrap it all up in the finale; I think we're headed for a cliffhanger on at least one front.

There's too much good on streaming right now, it's really a nice problem to have.

Here's this week's trailers roundup:

Eternals

A brand-new trailer for Marvel's Eternals has some of the action sequences we've seen in prior teaser/trailers, plus, a first look at Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, along with his husband and son, apparently the first queer couple in the MCU to appear on the big screen (h/t G...

Photos from a fly-by of Mercury, the least-explored planet in our solar system, show ithas a crater-riddled surface that resembles Earth's Moon.

The photos came from BepiColombo, a joint mission between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) that launched from Europe's Spaceport in 2018. The mission has two linked orbiting spacecraft, the Mercury Planetary Orbiter and the Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter. The mission is planned to reach Mercury's orbit in late 2025.

BepiColombo aims to gather more information about Mercury and its composition, and how it evolved so close to our Sun. Temperatures on Mercury can exceed 350 degrees Celsius, or about 660 degrees Fahrenheit.

Saturday Night Live returned this weekend and the show wasted no time taking aim at the weird billionaire space tourism race that unfolded over the past few months. Guest host Owen Wilson played former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in a sketch about a fictional new show called Star Trek: Ego Quest, about "the voyages of the SS New Shepard and its crew of random weirdos," whose mission is "to just sort of fly around space goofing off in a ship that looks like a penis," according to the voiceover.

You'll recall the real Bezos traveled to the edge of space in Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket in July, along with a crew that included his brother Mark (played in the sketch by Wilson's brother Luke), 82-year-old pilot and space legend Wally Funk, and...

Ford and General Motors told a federal judge they're planning to settle a trademark battle over the term "Cruise" to describe hands-free driving. Attorneys for the automakers said they're working out the terms of the settlement and asked the court for a conditional dismissal. The two sides will report back within 60 days if they're unable to come to an agreement.

Ford announced BlueCruise as the name for its hands-free driver assist feature in April. The legal skirmish began in July, when GM filed a trademark infringement lawsuit claiming that the name BlueCruise was too close to its autonomous vehicle subsidiary Cruise, as well as Super Cruise, the name of the hands-free driving tech GM introduced in 2017. GM said in its complaint...
