r/Eternals

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?

Well, once again there’s another Eternals rumor, which I honestly don’t put much faith in since we’ve had countless rumors saying the same thing before.

That said, whenever we get anything related to the Eternals, it’s almost always about Kingo or Ikaris. There’s even a new rumor about Ikaris appearing in Secret Wars.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that we’re getting anything related to the Eternals after so many years. It’s also great because it helps more people get to know these characters. But I’d really like to see other Eternals besides Kingo getting attention. As you can probably tell, Kingo isn’t my favorite.

What do you all think?

This could mean pretty much anything, but I noticed a lot of people in the comments saying it might be related to Judgment Day.

What do you all think? I’m not going to get my hopes up too much. I think it’s unlikely we’ll even get a mention of the Eternals, let alone have them show up as the antagonists in Season 3.

In the most recent Marvel Studios Legends: Apocalypse trailer, I saw the Celestials depicted on some sort of mural, that is pretty similar to the MCU-aesthetic of the Celestials / Eternals. See the screen grab above. This looks to be a reference to Apocalypse's comic origins of using Celestial tech.

This got me thinking, could we potentially get some Eternals cameos in X-Men 97 Season 2? I think it would be an awesome cameo opportunity like Spider-Man and Cap in Season 1, and could tie in easily because both are connected through the Celestials.

So glad to see the Eternals still being referenced in 2026, and hopefully this means we can see some mainline MCU appearances in the future too! Would love your thoughts!
