It may have received the worst reviews of the franchise to date, Marvel Studios’ Eternals certainly had a few surprises up its sleeve – not least TWO big MCU debuts in its post-credits scenes.
Perhaps the biggest shock (as long as you didn’t follow certain Variety writers on social media immediately following the premiere) was the inclusion of former One Direction star Harry Styles in the role of Eros, and now Marvel has officially shared a new poster for the character, a.k.a. “the Royal Prince of Titan, brother of Thanos, the Knave of Hearts, defeater of Black Roger, the great adventurer, Starfox.”
