Marvel Fans Respond to News That ‘Eternals 2’ May Never Happen
By Josh Lezmi
The first Eternals film from acclaimed Nomadland director Chloé Zhao featured the filmmaker’s propensity for breathtaking landscapes and natural environments but amplified such aesthetics to fit a larger-than-life comic book scale. The story also boasted a character-driven premise despite the epic scope and worldly consequences at play; viewers witnessed intimate relationships between the characters while pondering existential questions about the nature of humanity. Though a culturally rich juggernaut with diverse casting and fierce attention to various heritages, Eternals was critically contentious, with some celebrating Zhao’s signature take on the MCU and others accusing her of turning an epic space tale into a gorgeous yet flat melodrama.
MCU enthusiasts were divided on this film, but many were quick to note how strong the performances were, as the movie featured an all-star ensemble in Angelina Jolie, Kit Harrington, Gemma Chan, Richard, Madden, Barry Keoghan, Salma Hayek, and an unexpected but anticipation-building cameo from Harry Styles. Now that news has surfaced surrounding the sequel’s likely cancellation (reports indicate it’s currently on hold), fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts.
Harry won’t get to play a god again?!
