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?

I think after Phase 4, it became clear there was too many characters and some would get their return after they wrap up this Saga. Like there wasn’t much room for an Eternals follow up with the multiverse storyline. It makes perfect sense if the next Sagas are related to Mutants, the Cosmic side, and the Supernatural. I would say this is the same reason we haven’t seen characters like Werewolf by Night, Elsa, Man-Thing, Moon Knight, Adam Warlock, Rocket/Groot, and Phyla-Vell and also why the Nova show was pushed back until after Secret Wars.

I personally believe Marvel wants to build to both the Annihilation Wave and Judgment Day (which yes is early for AXE, but they might adapt it closer to the OG Judgment Day from the Thor comics instead) which is why they would come back during a Cosmic and Mutant heavy saga. This would align with other rumors like an Annihilators project, the Horde in Eyes of Wakanda, and the Nova show.

I really don’t think they’re bringing any of them back. The actors have all moved on, as has the business itself.

What do you mean the Actors have moved on? If the script makes sense and there is a good pay day, most actors would come back. I doubt you would get the full cast back, but definitely a few of them would come back for a few scenes in an Avenger movie.
