Eternalsintroduced the oldest superhero team in the MCU , who are a group of synthetical beings make by the Celestial Arishem the Judge .

By the close ofEternals , the remain squad members manage to bar Tiamut , after which the squad split into two : some of them stay on Earth and the rest leave on the Domo . However , those who stayed on Earth – Sersi , Phastos , and Kingo – were abduct by Arishem to gauge their action and see if human were worth keep , while Thena , Makkari , and Druig were bug by Starfox on the Domo , who told them he knows where to incur the quietus . Starfox was introduce as the brother of Thanos and is expected to return in thestill unconfirmedEternals 2 , but the subsequence could see the entry of another Thanos relative : Thane , his son .
What Introducing Thanos' Son Would Mean For Eternals 2 & The MCU
As steer out byCBR , Eternals 2could introduce Thanos ’ son , Thane . The MCU introduced Thanos ’ adoptive daughters Gamora and Nebula , who continue to be part of this macrocosm – however , there has been no mention of a son of the Mad Titan , though that does n’t mean he ca n’t be introduced . Thane is the son of Thanos and an unknown Inhuman adult female , and when the huffy Titan fought Black Bolt , the latter blow up a Terrigen Bomb , which subjected any individual with Inhuman gene on Earth to Terrigenesis , thus unleash Thane ’s major power . Although the MCU has n’t properly dealt with Inhumans and its only approach path to these has been the abbreviated coming into court ofBlack Bolt inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , Thane ’s origins could be retconned to well fit out the MCU , or it could be through him that the Inhumans are formally enter , thus making way for Black Bolt ’s homecoming , too .
Thane ’s instauration would also continue Thanos ’ bequest , as he could be seeking revenge for what the MCU ’s heroes did to his father , and with his uncle now with the Eternals , he could see this as a betrayal and direct Sersi and companionship , too . Thane ’s reaching could also impart the Guardians of the Galaxy into the mixture thanks to his connectedness to Nebula and Gamora , and they could be key in defeating the Mad Titan ’s forgotten son . On the other hand , bringing Thane to the MCU would continue to make this universe dependent on Thanos even though he ’s now long gone , risking recede the interest of viewers and undoing the Mad Titan ’s close and the arduous work of all the MCU ’s champion , particularlyIron Man ’s sacrifice . Thane could be an interesting enemy forEternals 2 , but it would be good for the MCU to move away fromThanos ’ dark .
