Eternals
The future of theEternalsin the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to be a whodunit asEternals 2hasn’t been confirmed andHarry Styles has no plans of act again in the nigh futurity – butEternals 2can still mould without Harry Styles reprising his purpose as Eros / Starfox . With the original Avengers squad no longer active after the event ofAvengers : Endgame , the MCU has already introduced a new team of superheroes in Chloé Zhao’sEternals , who turn out to be this world ’s oldest squad .
The Eternals are a group of synthetical beings created by the Celestial Arishem the Judge , who broadcast them to Earth century ago to protect it from the Deviants , their malefic vis-a-vis . After the Deviants were defeated , the Eternals stayed on Earth and help humanity evolve , but the team eventually parted path after many disagreements and conflicts between them . The Eternals reunited many X later on after the death of their loss leader , Ajak ( Salma Hayek ) , the return of the Deviants , and the firm approach of an apocalyptic event call “ The Emergence ” , which was the nascency of a unexampled Celestial from the core of Earth . Bythe ending ofEternals , the squad was fraction into two , with those who stayed on Earth being abducted by Arishem in order of magnitude to judge their activity , and the ones who left in the Domo being intercepted by Eros / Starfox , a fellow Eternal .

Starfox is not only an Eternal but also Thanos ’ brother , which makes him a potentially big mien in the upcoming phases of the MCU , but Starfox ’s time to come is now as unreadable as that of the ease of the Eternals . Speaking toRolling Stonein August 2022,Harry Styles revealedhe ’s opt to center on his euphony career for the time being and does n’t see himself taking another film project soon , thus arrive at his return as Starfox a bit hard – butEternals 2can survive without him .
What Eternals 2’s Story Could Be (Without Harry Styles' Eros)
Kevin Feige revealed the whole slate for the MCU ’s Phase 5 and three movies from Phase 6 ( Fantastic Four , Avengers : The Kang Dynasty , andAvengers : Secret Wars ) , butEternals 2wasn’t let in . Eternalshas feel disconnected from the rest of the MCU and only recently , thanks toShe - Hulk ’s episode 2 , the event in it were cover , though subtly , sothe future of the Eternals in the MCU is a mysteryfor now . The word about Harry Styles ’ calling plan could be a job forEternals 2 , but the sequel can sway on without Starfox . Although Starfox told Thena ( Angelina Jolie ) , Makkari ( Lauren Ridloff ) , and Druig ( Barry Keoghan ) that he knew where to find the rest of the team , this could be retconned so as to delay Starfox ’s involvement with the Eternals . It would n’t be the first sentence the MCU retcons a post - credits scene , and it would allow Marvel to move forward withEternals 2without having to depend on Harry Styles ’ availability .
Eternals 2could also choose for an easy path out by make Starfox share what he knows about Arishem and the ease to Thena , Makkari , and Druig , and leaving , though that would be an underwhelming explanation – but then again , the MCU is no stranger to these eccentric of promiscuous solutions . The main thing to address inEternals 2is the abduction of half the squad andhow Arishem will judge them , so the level does n’t really have to depend on Starfox ’s bearing , and he can take back in either a thirdEternalsmovie or another one from Phases 5 and 6 , such asSecret Wars , or if Harry Styles continues to focalize on his euphony career , he might not be back until Phase 7 , while theEternalscontinue on their own .
