If A Multiverse Exists, Can Eternalism (Phil. Of Time) Be True?

I don’t understand what you mean by eternalism. I looked it up, of course. Wikipedia dropped me in a disambiguation page wherein it explains that the philosophical nuance of the word refers to the view that “all points in time are equally real”, and opposes it with presentism: the idea that only the present is real. This seems typical of the kind of semantic minutia philosophers niggle over.

I also think you could detail what you mean by the term multiverse. I’m hardly fluid in cosmology (nor philosophy, for that matter), but I’m having a hard time arriving at any meaning of "eternalism" from any general-usage meaning of "multiverse".

Utilizing Hypography’s search options, I managed to find a few good threads on the subject:

Multiverse Or Parallel Universes

Are We Part Of A Multiverse?
