Eternals fans, celebrate! The Marvel Cinematic Universe presented a batch of new legends to the saga with Eternals back in 2021. The film was the third in Phase 4 of the MCU, bringing cast members like Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Lauren Ridloff, Gemma Chan, Brian Tyree Henry, Kumail Nanjiani, Barry Keoghan, and Lia McHugh, respectively playing Thena, Ajak Ikaris, Makkari, Sersi, Phastos, Kingo, Druig, and Sprite. The ensemble of new characters had their story left open-ended and presently, the film’s producer Nate Moore, has offered a hopeful promise of their future.
Moore, the producer of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and VP of Production at Marvel Studios, talked with ComicBook.com. He was asked about the future of the Eternals characters and whether or not an outright sequel is on the way. “I don’t want to spoil anything, but we have not seen the last of those characters,” Moore proclaimed. It isn’t clear where the Eternals characters will show up in the future. However it was expected by many, the affirmation is an exciting promise of a future for the characters.
Eternals Was Setting Up A MCU Future
One more character first presented in Eternals was Blade. However crowds didn’t see Marvel’s Daywalker, the character was voiced by Mahershaa Ali in the credits scene of Eternals. While the Blade film is going through a few massive changes subsequent to being postponed, Moore joined ComicBook.com’s Marvel podcast Phase Zero in 2021, where he prodded something else for Blade in the near future.
“[Blade] was [part of the scene] for reasons hopefully that would become apparent as you see more things, but [Mahershal Ali] wasn’t there on the day,” Moore explained. “And we talked about two versions of that, one where we would cut to him and one where we wouldn’t. ‘How textual do you want it to be?’ And again, it was more just for the fun of it, to tease it a little bit, to hear the voice and not see the man. He was game to do it. Because the Ebony Blade, the characteristics of the Ebony Blade are not dissimilar to some degree to vampirism and we think that’s an interesting kind of thing to play with. So, we kind of knew that was on the table.”
Moore’s latest project is the Black Panther sequel Wakanda Forever, which is set to hit theaters on November 11. The initial reaction to the last film in Phase 4 of the MCU has been predominantly sure in front of its release.
