Ughhh I hate Angelina Jolie. But, I guess we shall see.

Wait, what? I cry foul. Jack Kirby's Eternals are White in the comics! LOL
It's easier to get away with race-bending/gender-bending/sexual orientation-bending when you do it with more obscure characters the average person has never heard of.

Salma Hayek is playing Ajak.

I think since a lot of times their race and ethnicity is never really identified other than the way they drew them and the fact that as The Russos Have said the MCU is different from the Comic book Universe they can get away with it. - https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Database

But I do think Bryan Tyree Henry as Phastos is a bit accurate since he has been colored in darker.

And I say a bit accurate because I think Boris Kodjoe should've been casted as Phastos

Looks wise he could do it. But his acting and overall presence is a little light weight for the role, I think.
 
They better not fuck him up. He's one of my favorite Marvel characters. I have his first appearance (at least I hope I still do). The no cape thing is already giving me pause.
It would have been better in my opinion if they saved him for Spiderman. Since this movie is wedged between Civil War and Infinity War I really hope he comes back in another movie. I'd rather see Black Widow have a female villain, like the other Black Widow, or a modern Madame Masque.
