Reports Suggest MCU's Eternals Expected in Future Saga

Despite the mixed reception and relatively modest box office performance of 2021's Eternals, Marvel Studios appears to have plans to revisit the team in future MCU chapters. Insider Alex Perez indicated that the Eternals are "not done for" and more stories involving them will emerge in the next saga, possibly after Avengers: Secret Wars. While the Celestial Tiamut has appeared in Captain America: Brave New World mainly as a plot device, the broader Eternals storyline and characters remain part of the MCU's evolving narrative. Cast members like Lauren Ridloff express skepticism about an imminent return, whereas others such as Chiwetel Ejiofor and Karen Gillan remain open but non-committal about their future MCU involvement. The team’s limited presence since their solo film contrasts with Marvel’s ongoing strategy of integrating and expanding its universe, leaving the door open for the Eternals to reappear in either film or Disney Plus projects. Overall, despite initial setbacks and critical challenges, the Eternals are expected to have a role in the MCU's continuing development beyond the current Multiverse Saga.
