Picture this: You die and get to choose how you want to spend forever \u2014 which includes your one true love. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Unfortunately, in the case of the new A24 movie Eternity, which dropped its first trailer<\/a> on Tuesday, the sweet hereafter comes with a catch: You have two dead husbands, and they\u2019re both vying for a spot next to you in the afterlife. Eep!<\/p>\n

Eternity stars Elizabeth Olsen as Joan, the woman in question, who dies shortly after the death of her second husband, Larry, played by Miles Teller. But while Teller\u2019s character is eager to get a jump on the rest of their immortal lives, his wife\u2019s first husband, Luke, played by The Boys in the Boat actor Callum Turner, appears. Apparently, Luke died in \u201cthe war\u201d decades earlier \u2014 and he\u2019s been waiting for his wife to arrive to kickstart his own eternity ever since.<\/p>\n

So, how do you pick?! While the movie will, we hope, answer that question, people who watched the new trailer offered their thoughts in the YouTube comments. Some people thought the ending was reminiscent of Titanic, in which Rose (played by Kate Winslet) seemingly spends the afterlife with her pals on the sunken ship, and her lover-of-two-days Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) instead of the husband she spent more than 40 years raising a family with.<\/p>\n

Most people, however, saw Joan picking second husband, Larry, in the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrediction: Miles Teller wins his wife by giving her his blessing to choose Callum Turner instead of him, because he just wants his wife to be happy and her new husband turns out to be too selfish to do the same, proving Miles Teller cares more about Elizabeth Olsen and that she should pick him,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n

Another said, \u201cNot me immediately wanting to cry just thinking about how hard it is going to be for her to choose…immediately followed by me thinking, \u2018Can’t all three of them just be together for eternity?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea that Olsen\u2019s character may not need to choose resonated with another viewer, who wrote, \u201cI hope Elizabeth Olsen makes a world for all three of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And another joked, \u201cOMG imagine dying and realizing that compulsory monogamy exists even in the afterlife.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a throuple is certainly a possibility, Teller\u2019s character doesn\u2019t believe that it’s the best route. When he sees how his wife\u2019s former spouse is laying on the romance, he vows to make her remember why she fell for him in the first place. But will it be enough to get to spend eternity with his one true love?<\/p>\n

Eternity is directed by David Freyne and will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Freyne is credited as cowriter of the film along with former Obama White House aide Patrick Cunnane, whose original script appeared on the 2022 Black List of Hollywood\u2019s best unproduced screenplays.<\/p>\n

Eternity is set to hit theaters in November.
