ETERNALS Producer Says We Haven't Seen The Last Of Those Characters While Teasing Their MCU Return

Eternals remains Marvel Studios' only "Rotten" movie, and while it did underperform at the box office, it sounds like that big cliffhanger will one day be resolved. Find more details after the jump...

While not every Marvel Studios movie has been embraced by critics, Eternals remains the MCU's only "Rotten" blockbuster. There was a lot to love about the debut of this team, but some mistakes were definitely made, whether it was the generic villain or the fact it featured way too many characters. 

Regardless of whether you loved the movie, loathed it, or fall somewhere in the middle, there's no denying that cliffhanger ending needs to be resolved. 

In the closing few moments of Eternals, the Celestial Arishem arrived on Earth, taking those who stopped Tiamut's emergence for judgement (seemingly with the planet's fate on the line). There's also the small matter of a giant marble Celestial sticking out of the Indian Ocean, though no one in the MCU has really made mention of that yet.

Talking to Phase Zero, Eternals and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever producer Nate Moore was asked outright if fans can expect to see the movie's immortal heroes again.

"I would...I don't want to spoil anything, but we have not seen the last of those characters," he teased, strongly hinting that there are plans for them to return sooner rather than later. Whether that will be in a movie, on Disney+, or even in another character's adventure obviously remains to be seen.

Tepid reviews and the fact Eternals came out right at the end of the pandemic meant it wasn't a major box office hit. As a result, it's hard to say how keen Disney will be to allow Marvel Studios to forge ahead with a big budget sequel, though this is definitely a corner of the MCU we think deserves to be explored. 

If nothing else, we're sure Kevin Feige and company won't want to waste Harry Styles after casting him to play Eros, the brother of Thanos...

I would have liked to see Harry Styles' Eros in She-Hulk having to defend himself for some womanizing... that would have been fun.

Also Dane Whitman and Blade... are obviously coming back.

For the rest: Makkari and Druig are welcomed to stay, everyone else take'em or leave'em.

Guess they will try to show some love to them before making Eternals 2 by injecting them in a bunch of MCU projects in order to build some good faith too.

I know MCU had this clause in their Marvel contract where if you played an MCU hero you coulnd't play, say, in a DC movie, now Joker is a villain so maybe it's fine for Barry Keoghan to play both in a DC and Marvel movie, feels kinda strange, but then again...i think about Fishburne as Perry White and then in Ant-Man and The Wasp, so...

I liked Keoghan in Eternals and i don't feel him as Joker one bit.

@Fogs - I was like that with Shang-Chi, I watched the bus fight then fell asleep and woke up in time for the final battle.

@marvel72 @fogs - I fell asleep in both of them! Black Adam actually kept me awake. Can’t say it’s a great movie, but I enjoyed it enough that it held my attention. I think Dr Strange 2 was the only other CBM that kept me awake in the last year or so. Most of them are so formulaic that I lose interest.

@Shivermetimbers - I could have quite easily fell asleep during Black Widow and Thor:Love And Thunder but for some unknown reason I stayed awake.

Only Doctor Strange And The MultiVerse Of Madness and Spider-Man:No Way Home have kept my attention or my eyes from shutting.

@Vigor - in terms of science, if multiple people are dealing with the same phenomenon based on the same circumstances, then it's a good assumption it's those circumstances that is the cause.

Barry Keoghan (Druig) could replace Ezra Miller in The Flash and nobody would notice
