The Future of Marvel’s Eternals: A Closer Look at the Cosmic Superhumans

Since the release of The Eternals movie, fans have been eager to explore this ancient and mysterious race of beings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). While the recent film received mixed reviews, the potential for a sequel or future projects has not diminished. Here’s a closer look at whether there is a possibility of a Marvel Studios movie featuring Jack Kirby’s Eternals.

Post-The Eternals: What Happened?

After the release of The Eternals in theaters and on Disney , many fans have been wondering about the future of the cosmic superhumans. The movie, directed by Chloé Zhao and produced by Marvel Studios, introduced us to this ancient race of beings, which dates back to the dawn of Earth. While the film attempted to cover a lot of ground, many felt that it struggled to convey the grand scale and depth of the Eternals' story.

Confirmed Casting and Characters

One of the most notable aspects of The Eternals was the cast, particularly Angelina Jolie who was confirmed to play the character of Eternal Ajak. Additionally, Richard Madden plays the main character Ikaris, one of the few Eternals who is well-versed with modern humans. These roles hint at the potential for further development and exploration of the Eternals' story.

The Role of Eternals in Phase 4

Marvel Studios has indicated a strong possibility of the Eternals playing a pivotal role in Phase 4 of the MCU. Given their cosmic connections and the significant impact they have on the multiverse, it is highly likely that we will see a follow-up or standalone film featuring the Eternals. Disney’s secrecy around future projects only adds to the intrigue surrounding the possibility of a sequel.

Rumors and Speculation

Despite Disney's lack of official comments, several hints have surfaced online, suggesting that a sequel or a new set of Eternals-focused movies may be in the works. The mention of potential filming dates and the confirmation of major actors like Angelina Jolie indicate that Marvel is actively planning for more Eternals content. Some fans even speculate that there might be a connection between the Eternals and the central character of Thanos in the MCU, with Jolie possibly playing the role of Thanos' mother.

Conclusion: Excitement Builds for More Eternals

While The Eternals received tepid reviews, the persistent interest and the strong belief among fans suggest that the Eternals will continue to play a significant role in the MCU. With the potential for a sequel or new standalone films, the future of the Eternals is far from closed.
