Contrary to some concerns, it appears that the Eternals team from the MCU will make a comeback, as suggested by recent reports. The film “Eternals” (2021), which was highly anticipated as an introduction to a major new Marvel Studios superhero squad, has received mixed reviews since its release and is currently among the least favorably reviewed movies in the MCU. This less-than-stellar reception had some fans worried that the team might not be heard from again, with stars like Gemma Chan’s Sersi and Kumail Nanjiani’s Kingo potentially being sidelined by Marvel Studios for eternity.
As a movie enthusiast and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) aficionado, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news: The Eternals could be making a comeback to the MCU! After a prolonged silence on the Eternals front, this is undoubtedly the best news these characters have received in years. The prospect of a sequel to the 2021 film has been a distant dream, with hope slowly fading as we moved further from its release. However, recent reports hint at a potential return for our favorite eternal beings!
In a recent Q&A session, Alex Perez from The Cosmic Circus expressed that he has been hearing positive news regarding the forthcoming storyline of the Eternals at Marvel Studios.
When queried about whether the “Eternals” were finished, Perez replied that they are still around and further installments featuring them will be part of the upcoming saga.
Q: “Are the Eternals done for? Were the rumors of an anime sequel false?”
A: “The Eternals are not done for. There’ll be more about it in the next” saga.
2021’s “Eternals” film was where the characters first appeared, directed by Academy Award-winning director Chloé Zhao. This movie introduced a team of beings resembling gods who have been instrumental in shaping human civilization throughout time. However, it received a relatively low score of 47% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it the second-least popular Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) production on that platform, just behind “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania”.
Ever since the initial release of that movie on the big screen, the storylines it introduced haven’t been significantly developed or revisited (until the introduction of the calcified Celestial from Eternals in Captain America: Brave New World). Fans have noticed some characters from the Eternals appearing elsewhere, such as actor Kumail Nanjiani portraying his character Kingo in the animated series What If…?, but the team as a whole hasn’t made much of an appearance.
How Will Eternals Come Back to the MCU?
The article about The Eternals could surprise some Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) enthusiasts. Contrary to expectations, this group hasn’t become the cornerstone of Marvel’s narrative in the MCU as some might have assumed since their cinematic introduction.
Initially, there were whispers of a potential second “Eternals” film being developed by Marvel Studios. However, over the years, these discussions seem to have subsided noticeably. With each new Marvel production, speculation about “Eternals” has resurfaced repeatedly.
The last time fans got news about the team, star Lauren Ridloff (Makkari) shared with TopMob during a private chat at SXSW that she believed another appearance of The Eternals in Avengers: Doomsday was highly unlikely.
“Hey there! I really enjoyed your portrayal of Makkari in ‘Eternals.’ By the way, it seems we haven’t had a chance to see that character again. Given that the next Avengers movie is on its way, I was wondering if Marvel has given you any clues about when we could possibly catch up with the Eternals again?”
Lauren Ridloff: “Not likely. I don’t know, my magic eight ball is telling me ‘Not likely.'”
If the information in this report proves true and the Eternals are indeed being considered for a comeback in Phase 7 (or the following story arc), then it appears they will make it through whatever character reductions might occur as part of the finale of Avengers: Secret Wars.
It’s uncertain at this point whether we’ll get a major follow-up like “Eternals 2“, as there are many loose ends Marvel Studios could explore if they decide to move forward with a larger sequel. For instance, the character of Black Knight, portrayed by Kit Harrington, could potentially be introduced, and we might gain insights into Harry Styles’ character, Eros.
A follow-up to the movie “Eternals” seems like the most sensible course of action for addressing the unresolved aspects of the Eternals storyline; what remains to be seen is if Kevin Feige and his team recognize the potential for exploring more tales in this vein.
