It seems like Marvel Studios is planning to introduce yet another Eternal to the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
When early reports about the cast of Eternals have surfaced, it was initially rumored that Starfox would debut in the 2021 film. However, this was soon debunked when the official cast was released. While it still uncertain as to where the character would eventually make his big-screen appearance, word is that Marvel still has plans to use Starfox at some point in a future MCU project.
That is according to MCU Cosmic, pointing out that Starfox is "too big of a character" to just be "discarded." If the character was actually confirmed to be cut from Eternals, the outlet says it makes sense since Starfox could be given a "bigger spotlight" for another project. Since Eternals already has a huge cast, Starfox could be overshadowed, so it might be better for such a big character to shine on his own.
Created by Jim Starlin, Starfox, also known as Eros, was introduced in Iron Man #55 back in 1973. He is known as the brother of Thanos and has the power to control people's emotions. Following the events of Avengers: Endgame, it is possible that Marvel Studios would bring in the rest of the Mad Titan's family to be somewhat of a connection to the Infinity Saga.
The Eternals arrives in theaters on February 12, 2021.
