Eternals Title Becomes Ironic Kevin Feige Suggests Sequel Scrapped

Summary

  • Marvel Studios does not have immediate plans for an Eternals 2 sequel, focusing on other priorities for now.
  • Plot points from Eternals will surface in future Marvel movies, with Captain America: Brave New World addressing some.
  • Eternals characters may return in supporting roles in other MCU projects like Thor 5 or a new Guardians of the Galaxy film.

As a long-time Marvel fan and avid gamer, I have grown accustomed to the thrill of anticipating the next big thing from the MCU. The release of “Eternals” was an exciting moment for me, as it introduced a fresh set of characters and a new narrative to the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, the news that there are currently no plans for an “Eternals 2” sequel came as a bit of a disappointment.

If you’re expecting Marvel Studios to unveil plans for “Eternals 2” at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, you may want to curb your enthusiasm. “Eternals,” which was among the initial films in Marvel Studios’ Phase 4 slate, presented a fresh take on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and aimed for an award-worthy contender with Chloé Zhao at the helm as director. However, despite solid box office performance amidst the COVID-19 crisis, audience and critic feedback were quite divided.

Three years have passed since the release of “Eternals,” and fans have been eagerly anticipating a sequel due to the film’s cliffhanger ending and two post-credits scenes that hint at more. However, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige shared with Inverse that there are currently no plans for “Eternals 2.” Nevertheless, the storylines from “Eternals” will influence upcoming Marvel movies, such as “Captain America: Brave New World,” according to Feige’s statement below:

I’m excited about the current developments in the Eternals universe, but there’s no news yet about a sequel, or as they put it, “no immediate plans for Eternals 2.” However, based on the latest trailer, we’ve got hints of some intriguing underwater occurrences. Gargantuan beings have reportedly emerged from the depths!

How Will the Eternals Return?

In an exciting turn of events, “Captain America: New World Order” is set to shed light on the mysterious Celestial head emerging from the ocean’s depths at the end of “Eternals.” This intriguing cliffhanger left fans puzzled since the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) entry hit theaters in November 2021. Another major plot point from “Eternals” revolved around Kit Harrington’s character, Dane Whitman, and his potential transformation into Black Knight as hinted at in the film’s post-credits scene. Previously, whispers suggested that Black Knight would appear in “Blade,” but recent script changes have put these plans on hold following the numerous production alterations surrounding that project.

As a long-time fan of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I’ve grown accustomed to the excitement and anticipation that comes with each new release. But as someone who’s been following the MCU closely, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment upon hearing the news that not every Phase 4 character will be making an appearance in “Avengers 5.”

Characters from “Eternals” may appear in future MCU films as secondary characters, just like the Hulk who has had a significant role in the MCU despite having only one solo movie. For instance, since “Captain America: Brave New World” features several characters related to the Hulk, components of “Eternals” could potentially be adapted into other cosmic hero stories such as “Thor 5,” a new “Guardians of the Galaxy” installment, or the upcoming “Nova” series. This could also mean the possibility of Harry Styles reprising his cameo as Starfox in these films.

You can watch “Eternals” streaming on Disney+, alongside the entire library of Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
