Tbf, this was pretty standard for them to do since the beginning of the MCU for every movie they did. So it wasn't that they thought Eternals was gonna be the next GOTG, it was just par for the course.

Yes, this. I clearly remember Sebastian Stan signing a multi-project contract for First Avenger, and he wasn't even one of the lead characters. They want to secure continuity if they decide to proceed with a certain character.

Yeah iirc he signed a 9 picture contract.

I am baffled as to why Marvel signed an actor to such a long term contract, for not only movies but a VIDEO GAME (something they haven't done with anyone else?), for a completely obscure Marvel IP that was unproven. They really thought Eternals was gonna become the new Guardians Of The Galaxy didn't they.

These kind of contracts existed since X3 days.
