Sprite (Lia McHugh) and Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) reminisce in a deleted scene​ from Marvel's Eternals. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, where Earth's mightiest heroes Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) to defeat the mad Titan​ Thanos (Josh Brolin), the immortal Eternals are forced out of the shadows when an ancient enemy returns​. In a quiet moment between Sprite and Makkari outside the ruins of Babylon, the child-like Sprite casts an illusion to rebuild what she fondly remembers as the closest thing they've ever had to "a real home" on Earth. Watch the deleted scene (via Thrillist​) above. 

With the looming emergence of a birthed Celestial that could destroy the planet, the centuries-old Sprite asks Makkari of humans, "You still think they're worthy of being saved? After all the terrible things we've seen them do?"
