Harry Styles debuted in the MCU as Eros in Eternals, and the return of Thanos' brother has now been teased by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Summary

• Kevin Feige reveals that both Marvel and Harry Styles are excited about his return as Eros in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
• Feige teases that the question of where Eros will reappear in the MCU is still up in the air, considering the introduction of many new characters and post-credits scenes.
• Eros is very important, as he is Thanos' brother.

Harry Styles' return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Eros after Eternals gets addressed by Kevin Feige. Styles' Eros debuted in one of Eternals' post-credits scenes, with Pip the Troll announcing him as Thanos' brother. As the Mad Titan was the main villain of the MCU's Infinity Saga, the debut of Styles' character generated a lot of excitement; however, his MCU future has been up in the air since his debut.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Feige revealed that Marvel and Styles are excited about the actor returning as Eros and teased where that might happen in the MCU.

While Feige shared the excitement behind the scenes for Styles to come back as Eros in the MCU, he would not reveal where that might happen, saying, "We will see." Feige also noted that Marvel has been introducing a lot of characters through credits scenes but has yet to reveal which role they will play in future MCU movies. Check out the full quote below:

"He's excited. We're excited. We will see. You introduce a lot of new characters in a lot of movies and a lot of tags. Where do the tag folk reappear? That's a good question."

Where Could Harry Styles’ Eros Appear Next?

There Are Some Strong Candidates

There are multiple MCU movies where Styles' Eros could return in. As he debuted in Eternals, the most obvious answer would be for Styles to come back in a possible Eternals 2. Eros was last seen aboard the Domo, meeting Thena, Makkari, and Druig, telling them he would help the group find other Eternals. However, after Eternals was faced divisive reception, a sequel is not guaranteed.

Due to his cosmic origins, there are other MCU space adventures that could include Styles' Eros. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 introduced a new version of the team, and a possible fourth movie could add some other members like Nova and Styles' Eros, perhaps using his Starfox moniker. Given Nova's connection to Thanos through the Mad Titan's assault on Xandar, Eros could appear through flashbacks in Marvel's Nova series, which is currently in development.

If Chris Hemsworth returns for a Thor 5, the movie should once again send the God of Thunder through a sprawling space adventure, and his path could cross with Eros'. Styles' character could also be saved for a major role in either of the two upcoming Avengers movies — Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars — as he would be a formidable hero to help the Avengers against the Council of Kangs. Besides, Harry Styles' Eros appearing in an Avengers movie would be a nice continuation of his brother's history with the franchise, though Starfox could be on a different side from the one Thanos was.
