Like all other MCU projects, Eternals ends with credits that function as “teasing” for the future series of this cinematic universe. In the first credits (mid-credits), Marvel brought the superhero Eros/Starfox to the big screen, and also revealed that this character is the younger brother of Thanos – the crazy Titan who wiped out half of the population. universe number.
What happened in the mid-credits scene of Eternals?
Eternals is one of the projects of phase 4 that has the role of introducing new superheroes to the MCU – characters who were present on Earth thousands of years ago at the behest of Celestial Arishem and tasked with destroying monsters. Animal Deviants so that people can prosper.
However, Arishem’s real purpose is to use humanity’s vital energy to awaken another Celestial named Tiamut, which is sleeping deep within the Earth. After this process takes place, the Earth will be completely destroyed to make room for many new planets. Those new planets will continue to act as cocoons for the other Celestials, nurturing them until the day they wake up.
After learning the truth, a number of Eternals banded together to prevent Tiamut’s awakening to help save Earth from the catastrophe of doom. Of course, their actions infuriated Arishem, and this Celestial decided to capture Sersi, Kingo, and Phastos to evaluate their memories and decide if humanity should be allowed to continue to exist. Meanwhile, Thena, Makkari and Druig were lucky to escape because they soon set out to travel across the universe in search of other Eternals and help them understand the true purpose of the Celestials.
The mid-credit scene is set inside the spaceship Domo, when Thena, Makkari and Druig are discussing their next plan after being unable to contact the Eternals on Earth. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted by the appearance of two strangers: a hairy dwarf with pointy ears, named Pip (the Troll); and a handsome guy, claiming to be Eros, the prince of Titan and the younger brother of Thanos. Eros says the other Eternals are in trouble, and he wants to help Thena, Makkari, and Druig rescue them.
Who is Pip the Troll?
Pip is a new character in the MCU, but is a familiar face for Marvel comics fans, especially those who love The Infinity Gauntlet – the main inspiration for Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame. This character is an alien from Laxidazia, often interacting with superheroes like Gamora, Drax or Adam Warlock (will appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3).
Pip used to work with Adam Warlock to help other superheroes in the universe to defeat Thanos in the infinity war. After that event, Warlock decided to form a team called the Infinity Watch, including members Pip, Gamora, Drax, Moondragon, Maxam and even Thanos himself. Each person will be tasked with protecting an infinity stone, in which Pip the Troll is the guardian of the Space Stone.
However, the events involving Thanos and the infinity stone in the MCU inherently ended in Endgame. Therefore, it is difficult to confirm what Marvel Studios is planning when bringing Pip the Troll into its cinematic universe. However, there is one detail worth noting that in the Infinity Crusade, the sequel to the Infinity Gauntlet, Pip became a terrifying villain after absorbing huge energy and claiming to be the King of the universe. It is not excluded that Marvel will exploit the script in this direction in future movies.
Who is Eros?
Eros is played by popular singer Harry Styles.
The Eternals mid-credits scene explained quite specifically the basic information about Eros, also known as Starfox. This is the prince of the planet Titan, the younger brother of Thanos and the one who defeated Black Roger (Dark Roger) – the Emperor of the Mystery planet.
In the original, Eros is the youngest son of 2 Eternals A’Lars and Sui-San, and the younger brother of Thanos. The reason why Thanos has a hideous appearance, so far from the handsome image of Eros is because he carries the DNA of Eternal combined with Deviant.
Contrary to his brother, Thanos, who is always taciturn, thirsty for power, Eros is a person who is always cheerful, peachy, carefree. However, after Thanos launched an attack on his own hometown, killing Sui-San, Eros realized that he needed to live more seriously and responsibly.
He once teamed up with Kree Captain Mar-Vell as well as the Avengers superheroes to fight his brother. Eros also became an official member of this squad for a long time and operated under the nickname Starfox, helping them defeat villains such as Wizard, Terminus or Maelstrom.
As an Eternal, Eros can also use cosmic energy to a certain extent, and also possesses basic super powers such as super strength, speed, physicality, reflexes, and abilities. sublime rebirth. In addition, Eros also knows how to fly, knows how to manipulate and change other people’s emotions, often helping them become more optimistic, loving life, even “excited”, but it has no effect on Thanos. .
What does the Eternals mid-credits scene mean for the future of the MCU?
Based on the above information, it is easy to see that Pip the Troll is likely to appear in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Adam Warlock’s premiere movie, played by Will Poulter. However, if you remember in the mid-credits scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2, Warlock is a child created by Ayesha with the aim of destroying Peter Quill’s group. Therefore, it is currently difficult to say in advance which side Pip will be on, because in the comics, this character has a good relationship with both Gamora, Drax and Warlock.
Meanwhile, the appearance of Eros opens up a lot of new development directions for the MCU in the future, directly affecting projects like Eternals 2 Avengers 5. In the immediate future, the audience will certainly witness the action. rescue the other Eternals by Eros, Thena, Makkari, and Druig, and delve deeper into Celestial and the history of the Marvel universe. In addition, since phase 4 of the MCU will deeply explore the idea of multiverse, it is not excluded that the appearance of Eros will be the basis for Thanos to return as a variant from another reality.
