Because Eternals is a flashback/prequel movie, and Thanos is an Eternal, it is rumored that a younger Thanos will appear in the film, though this has not been confirmed.

I haven't read them either. This is a pretty good explainer that I found about their background. No info on what they might do with them in the MCU verse, but more of an explainer about their comic characters.

So, Eternals will star Robb Stark, Jon Snow, and "Cersei" (Sersi)!

Furthermore, in their last shared scene in Game of Thrones, as Jon set off to join the Night's Watch, Robb told Jon, "Next time I see you, you'll be all in black" -- and now Kit Harington is playing Black Knight!
