You may not have seen the last of Harry Styles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
On the Jan. 11 episode of Deadline's podcast Crew Call, Marvel executive Nate Moore revealed the fate of the singer's character Eros, a.k.a. Starfox, brother of Thanos, who first appeared in a post-credits scene of the 2021 movie Eternals along with his assistant Pip the Troll, voiced by Patton Oswalt.
"We certainly didn't cast Harry for a tag," Moore, who also produced Chloé Zhao's film, said on the podcast. "There are more stories to be told with that character."
The executive continued, "He's fascinating. He has a really interesting connection with Thanos—they're half-brothers, they share the same father. He's a complicated character, but a really fun character."
Moore also complimented the Don't Worry Darling actor, saying, "Having met Harry Styles, he is as charming as you think you want him to be and I think there's no limit to how popular that character's going to be, once we get to bring him back."
Marvel's parent company Disney has not announced whether a sequel to Eternals will be produced or if any of the actors will appear in MCU films that have been greenlit.
In October 2022, when asked about the possibility of an Eternals 2, Moore told Phase Zero, "I don't want to spoil anything, but we have not seen the last of those characters."
In July 2022, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked by MTV News about Styles' future in the MCU. He responded, "The adventures of Eros and Pip is something that is very exciting for us."
Meanwhile, the following month, Rolling Stone U.K. quoted Styles as saying about his Eternals cameo, "It'd be funny if that was it, wouldn't it?"
Seems like we have our answer.
