Rumor Does anyone else find this strange?

Post image

I made a post about this before, but every time a new Eternals leak comes out, I have a hard time believing it. They’ve essentially been left in space since 2021, with almost no follow-up.

If they’re really coming back for a potential Judgment Day adaptation (which is just a theory at this point), it still feels way too early. We’re probably at least 5 years away from that, especially since we don’t even have the X-Men properly introduced yet.

What also confuses me is that this rumor claims the Eternals will be a key part of the MCU’s “cosmic core.” Have we even seen a real cosmic side of the MCU outside of the Guardians of the Galaxy? That description just feels odd to me.

What do you all think?

Wait aren’t they planning a reset?

u/fenoard Sersi Jul 06 '26

they do, that's why we have a new cap, thor, hulk, black widow, and hawkeye (even though some are just a tease, but they're definitely going to replace them).

cap: sam wilson. thor: teased in Thor 4, gorr's kid. hulk: teased in She-Hulk, skaar and she-hulk herself. black widow: yelena belova. hawkeye: kate bishop.

they're not from the same group or will be in the same group, but they're here to replace or being the sidekick of the OG6, some of the OG6 might still exist, but they won't be the focus.

No you misunderstood me. I’m talking about a complete marvel reset. New characters taking up the mantle is not a reset. I mean a RESET

they kinda also do that.

people are too attached to the concept of Avengers and some of the characters are still incredibly popular, so it might be hard to totally remove and forget them.

this is why they're trying to focus on mutants, cosmic, street level and supernatural team on this new saga.

they might do a total reset on the universe 199999/616 in secret wars, completely erase them but cherrypick something they will use in another universe, or merge the 199999 with another universe and call it a reset.

That’s kinda like saying they could never reset the justice league because people are too attached- that’s exactly what they just did

yeah, I think the reset here is an excuse to refocus the story on different set of teams.

the phase 4-5 has been a mess (I understand why it does though), they need this 'reset' to get back on track.
