Secret Wars Ties Loose Ends: Eternals to Join Avengers? Fresh reports suggest Marvel may reconnect its cosmic storyline with Avengers: Secret Wars. The speculation has reignited interest in the future of the Eternals within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Industry buzz indicates that at least one Eternal character is being considered for inclusion in Secret Wars. The film is expected to conclude the multiverse saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, no official confirmation has been made.
The original Eternals film, directed by Chloé Zhao and released in 2021, introduced immortal beings tasked with protecting Earth from the Deviants. The story ended with several Eternals taken by the Celestial Arishem. Their fate remained unresolved within the larger MCU.
Although a sequel to Eternals has not been announced, speculation continues to grow. Reports mention that one character from the Eternals is part of current discussions. Marvel Studios has not revealed which character could return.
Since Secret Wars revolves around multiverse crossovers, alternate universe variants are possible. This opens creative space to reintroduce an Eternal in a fresh way. It would allow Marvel to expand its cosmic narrative without revisiting past plotlines directly.
Fans have already seen alternate versions in animated projects. In the Disney+ series Marvel Zombies, a variant of Ikaris appears briefly. He is shown battling a zombified Captain Marvel outside the main MCU timeline.
The possibility of an Eternal appearing in Secret Wars suggests Marvel has not abandoned these characters. Despite mixed reactions to Eternals, the studio may still integrate its cosmic heroes. Even one appearance could tie earlier threads into a larger cinematic event.
