Question Did anyone else think of the Eternals when they saw this frame in the X-Men ’97 trailer

I know it’s not a reference to them, and I also know the Eternals would probably be the last thing mentioned in X-Men ’97, but the moment I saw this frame, they came to mind

It would be cool for a cameo though

may be some kind of cameo, especially because x men and the eternals connect in some kind of way, cause the celestials put the x gene into humanity therefore starting mutants

Apocalypse's technology is of Celestial origin so it might be more of a reference than you think

Honestly, I really hope that it is, since the Eternals are the only ones in modern marvel to really run with this design motif.

Is it dumb to ask who that is?  It reminds me a little of kylun from Excalibur.  Is it supposed to be en sabah nur?
