Despite the fact that it makes references to MCU occasions and characters Eternals is a wholly standalone expertise for all of its 156-minute runtime. That stated, as with all issues MCU, Marvel Studios has larger plans for the movie’s new characters. One of many huge Eternals post-credits scene surprises has already been spoiled — that too weeks earlier than Eternals premiered in theatres. The opposite one teases the way forward for an actor who had a cameo on Eternals, alongside one other who’s set to hitch the MCU in a few years.
Warning: main spoilers forward for Eternals. Proceed at your individual threat.
Eternals ending, defined
The brand new Marvel film ends in London, with Sersi (Gemma Chan) bidding goodbye to her pal Sprite (Lia McHugh) who’s off to high school, now that she’s chosen to be human. That is intelligent on Marvel’s half because it permits McHugh to carry onto her position — because the Eternals are immortal, they do not age. Bollywood star Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) and his valet Karun (Harish Patel) are there to assist Sprite, which is shocking for different causes, as Kingo sat out all the third act and nobody complained.

Simply as Sersi sees off Sprite, she turns round to see her boyfriend Dane Whitman (Package Harington) ready throughout the road. The 2 take a stroll to a close-by London park. Dane says they should not have any secrets and techniques of their relationship. Sersi says she does not have any extra secrets and techniques, just for Dane to notice that he has one. However earlier than he can inform her, they’re rudely interrupted by Arishem, the Prime Celestial to whom the Eternals report.
Because the Eternals stopped the start of Tiamut, a fellow Celestial, to avoid wasting our planet Earth, Arishem is of course fairly irate with them. Arishem kidnaps the three Eternals who’re nonetheless on Earth — Sersi, Kingo, and Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) — and vows that they are going to face some kind of cosmic judgment for his or her actions. What is going to that contain? Solely time will inform.

Eternals mid-credits scene
After the large third-act struggle, three members of the Eternals — Thena (Angelina Jolie), Makkari (Lauren Ridloff), and Druig (Barry Keoghan) — get into their spaceship Domo and fly off seeking different planets in peril that they could be capable to assist. The mid-credits scene in Eternals picks up with the trio on their ship. Simply as they sense that one thing is amiss, somebody teleports onto their ship. It is a tiny elf who’s largely speaking to himself about how he must cease drunkenly teleporting to locations.
The trio surprise why he is on the Domo. In response, a silhouetted determine follows the elf from the ether. As they stroll in direction of the sunshine, the elf launches into a protracted description of who they’re and their achievements — that features calling him brother of Thanos. At this level, Marvel followers (and those that have been studying the information) already know who it’s. In steps Harry Types, calling himself Starfox, earlier than noting that he is an Everlasting like them and his unique title is Eros; and the elf’s title is Pip.
All You Must Know About Marvel’s Eternals
Why are they right here? Eros then brings a sphere out of his physique, identical to the one Ajak (Salma Hayek) and Sersi had — the one which allowed them to speak with Arishem. Eros notes that pals are in a whole lot of bother, and that he is aware of the best way to assist save them. The Eternals mid-credits scene cuts proper after. It is a clear and apparent set-up for Eternals 2 that Marvel has but to announce. There may even be a standalone Starfox film, with Types having reportedly signed a five-film deal already.
So who’s Eros/ Starfox? Within the Marvel Comics, Starfox is a Titan native like his brother Thanos however he is extra benevolent (normally). Just like the Greek god he is named after, Eros is a womaniser — he additionally has the facility to regulate others’ feelings, which has resulted in some controversial storylines within the comics. Marvel has a historical past of tweaking characters when bringing them over from the comics although, so it is honest to anticipate they are going to cast off such problematic aspects as Starfox joins the MCU.
Eternals post-credits scene
Although Arishem’s kidnapping of the Eternals will get in the way in which of Dane Whitman telling Sersi his secret, the viewers does get to search out it out within the Eternals post-credits scene. We see Dane (Harington) standing in entrance of a sword case. He steps again and tries to reassure himself a few occasions that he can do that. As he steps ahead and opens the case, mysterious sounds bounce across the room as if some power has been launched from the sword.
An inscription inside the field in Latin reads “Mors mihi lucrum.” Dane interprets it for the viewers as he says: “Loss of life is my reward.” That is naturally ominous, although it’ll make extra sense to comedian guide followers. As Dane reaches for the sword, some type of supernatural particles gravitate in direction of his hand, identical to iron filings get drawn to a magnet. Dane as soon as once more tells himself he’s prepared however simply as he is about to the touch the magical sword, an off-screen voice says: “You certain you are prepared for this, Mr. Whitman?”

The Eternals post-credits scene cuts proper there, with out exhibiting us the face of the actor who spoke these phrases. This is not a traditional Marvel follow, however that is as a result of the face is not prepared. Eternals director Chloé Zhao has revealed that the voice is none different Mahershala Ali, who is ready to hitch the MCU because the vampire hunter Blade. The standalone Blade movie does not start manufacturing till summer time 2022, and Ali’s voice-only Eternals look means his look hasn’t been determined.
Ali’s Eternals cameo seemingly means Package Harington shall be a part of the Blade film. Within the Marvel Comics, Dane Whitman inherits a mystical cursed sword from his uncle — their estranged nature is referenced by Sersi on a cellphone name with Dane in Eternals — after which adopts his uncle’s moniker, the Black Knight, as his superhero alter ego. That sword we see within the Eternals post-credits scene is little doubt the identical sword.
Often called the Ebony Blade, the sword is enchanted and might lower by means of just about anybody and something. Within the comics, the Ebony Blade additionally grants immortality and therapeutic powers, and might take up souls to make itself stronger. However — and there is a huge however — the Ebony Blade is troubled with a blood curse. The extra blood one sheds with the Ebony Blade, the extra bloodthirsty the wielder turns into. This could possibly be wealthy territory for Package Harington within the MCU.
However Harington is at nighttime himself. He stated: “There isn’t a roadmap that I do know of in the mean time. If they’ve concepts about the place my character goes, I am not aware about it. All I do know is that once I got here on board, they stated, ‘There is a actually fascinating future for this character, and in case you learn up about him, there are numerous alternative ways we may go together with him.’ And that intrigues me. If I take a look at the comics and I take a look at what I learn on the Web about him, I am fascinated by the concept that any character in any story is pushed by some habit to one thing. And with [Dane Whitman], it is very palpable that this sword, this blade, has an addictive pull on him, and I discover that actually fascinating.”
Eternals Runtime Extra Than 2.5 Hours, Second-Longest MCU Film After Avengers: Endgame
The Eternals post-credits scene explains what Harington is doing in what was in any other case a negligible position on this movie. He is clearly been solid as a result of he has a much bigger position in the way forward for the MCU. What that shall be stays to be seen, probably beginning with Blade.
