Harry Styles is in Marvel’s Eternals after-credits scene as Eros, Thanos’ bro

While there are many possible paths that the Marvel Cinematic Universe could take in the future, its Celestial overlords are most interested in Harry Styles.

[Ed. note: This post contains potential spoilers for upcoming Marvel movies]

Based on reportsThe following are the Eternals’ premiere on Monday night, the pop star and actor makes his appearance in one of the film’s after-credits scenes. It’s his second major role, following Dunkirk(which he also co-starred with Eternals actor Barry Keoghan) and just before next year’s thriller Don’t Worry Darling Starting at BooksmartOlivia Wilde is the director.

Styles will be playing Eros the Eternal, and brother to Thanos. Eros was created in 1973 by Mike Friedrich, Jim Starlin, and Mike Friedrich. It is similar to his brother Thanos, and it has an immense power, as well as the ability of manipulating the emotions. He doesn’t always use this power altruistically — like his name implies, Eros is extremely invested in being a horndog, sometimes to a troubling degree.

Other times, however — usually when his evil brother is involved — Eros acts as a cosmic superhero, adopting the codename Starfox (no relation) and flying off to battle.

Currently, there aren’t any real details about when Styles’ take on Eros will get his first proper showing as his appearance in EternalsThe scene is only shown in the post credits. It would seem that this is an educated guess. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but anything’s possible with the intensely secretive studio.
