What is a REALISTIC way some of the Eternals could return in Doomsday / Secret Wars or Phase 7?

As the title suggests. Please post any interesting ideas you have!

For me, I felt it was a slightly missed opportunity to not have 2 or 3 Eternals return in Brave New World as a post-credit scene, maybe offering their help to defend Earth because they have to protect Tiamut, or Arishem warned them of the Incursions. They would have been a great way to give Sam's Avengers an upgrade.

If you could find a realistic way to bring them back in the upcoming films, how would you do it? Please post any interesting plot ideas for how some or all of the characters could return. Thanks!

Tiamut is dead, what's to protect? And it'd be weird to resolve the Arishem cliffhanger off screen like that.

Some of the Eternals try to form a new "god" for themselves from the corpse of the Celestial in the comics back in 2023. That could have been another layer of Brave New World buuuut it would have required writing a coherent story and not jamming dollar tree serpent society and hulk shit into the movie

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 06:48

Does the general public even know/care about the Arishem cliffhanger? I think they;ll ignore it like every other major event. Feige doesn;t seem to want the audience to feel like they have to watch previous films or shows to watch the new films.

But yeah I'm honestly not sure about Tiamut. I just thought the Eternals or Arishem would have something to say about humans pillaging Tiamut for resources, haha.

The government is literally harvesting Adamantium from Tiamut's corpse in BNW

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 07:29

That's my point. The fact that no Eternals or Arishem cared was confusing to me. I'm guessing the real reason wasn't plot based but because they weren't allowed to use the characters, or actors weren't available. Which is totally understandable, but I think it would have been cool for the Eternals (not all but some) to have cameoed in the film.

hell20_2025-11-10 07:45

What do you mean "no Eternals cared" didn't they themselves take the decision to stop the Emergence?

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 07:49

No, post-the Emergence, the fact that Tiamut was being mined for adamantium and they didn't seem to be involved or react to that event felt odd to me. But it's just my opinion.

When either Doctor Doom or Kang is about to kill off every good heroes.

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 06:37

As in, they show up to assist the heroes in some final battle in Doomsday, and lose along with the main heroes? I could see that. I'd love for them to come back in one or both films, even if it's in smaller groups.

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 06:38

I think it'd be awesome if Kingo or the others showed up in Secret Wars. Seeing as he's an actor there's a lot of fun ways he could show up in Doomsday or Battleworld.

Rabid_Chigger2025-11-10 07:10

As an in universe movie that Bucky, Cap and Zemo are watching like MST3K.

Battleworld variants

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 06:47

I thought so too. What if Kingo is like a famous Shakespearean actor in Medieval Battleworld who joins the heroes, or Ikaris is one of the Barons, Sersi a leader of the resistance, there's so many cool ways to bring these characters back for the long haul without just making Eternals 2.

BobTheFettt2025-11-10 06:45

I mean, Eternals are kind of the easiest ones to bring back. They're just rebirthed at the World Forge.

profgray22025-11-10 06:46

get a writer who knows the comics and actually wants to write a good film? or is that asking for to much?

ijustuseredditformem2025-11-10 06:53

I feel like these guys are never coming back unless we get a full-on MCU reboot. If Marvel had wanted to make them come back, they already would have. Which is sad because I liked this movie but but for some reason people hate it. I really have a hard time understanding why people hate it. This movie is fricking great, it has lots of great stuff in it. There might be a little hope for it, but let's just say that if there are any characters that are going to come back, all of these guys are near the bottom, along with Moon Knight and Echo.

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 06:56

Sadly seems that way. But still holding out hope.

It seems like they really love the cast, but the film doing poorly really affected the plans. I still think there's a place for these characters on different teams though. Just based on the quality of these actors I think they deserve another chance to shine. Hope they get the opportunity to be in more films.

ijustuseredditformem2025-11-10 07:11

I just feel like there might be a few people who might have a chance to come back. Like Icarus, maybe, but I just have a hard time with anybody. Like, Icarus is kinda popular just because of how strong he is. It was cool to see him in Marvel Zombies, but I would be surprised if anybody else would. But I am gonna be honest, I don't think I wanna see them unless they are in it together. Like, I do have a hard time with the thought of them being on the Avengers. Could you imagine if they introduced like 10 characters in one movie and all of them are Avengers? No, that would be stupid. I've always thought that was a bad idea. They should have their own little part of the MCU, similar to Spider-Man or Moon Knight. If anything, they should show up for like one scene, then go away immediately. But that being said, it would have been sick if we got like two stories going at once, like Eternals and Avengers, and they don't really interact.

Puzzled_Influence9852025-11-10 07:31

Totally, for me I'd love to see these characters reurn in smaller groups in different projects. Like Sersi Kingo and Makkari on the Avengers or West Coast Avengers, Druig and Thena on Cosmic adventures, Phastos on Earth-based science adventures, etc. for the others as well.

unbreakableheaven6162025-11-10 07:17

Easy. Do an adaptation of Judgement Day. Maybe that can be the end of Phase 7?

unbreakableheaven6162025-11-10 07:22

Or maybe a few of them could show up in the next Thor movie? Maybe we could get a big cosmic Avengers team-up movie with some of the Eternals, Thor, Carol, Monica, America (because she needs to be part of the Cosmic side of the MCU, not in Kamar-Taj), the Guardians, and the F4. Thor would be the lead, obviously. It would be a way to connect all their stories and also ensure that we get to see these characters again (since the majority of them won't be getting solo projects anymore)

unbreakableheaven6162025-11-10 07:27

Also it would be a way for the Eternals to show up again without the fear that the project will flop (like if it's a Thor movie or a movie with the Avengers title coz I highly doubt the Eternals would tank the whole movie). Another idea I had is that they should be villains in the eyes of the Avengers. In fact the Avengers should have beef with the Eternals coz they've rarely ever helped out when the world needed saving l.

Wooden-Radish-90082025-11-10 07:57

I think they should show up in the next Thor. I think the Eternals and Captain Marvel should be some of the "superheroes" people hail as gods that Zeus takes aim at.

LittleCupcake24782025-11-10 08:10

Thor 5 could easily incorporate the Eternals as part of the character and his movies' themes of divine, godly beings mingling among the cosmos.

They are still *there*. They even discussed inaction with Thanos in the movie. Now that they know their purpose was a lie, what need is there to stick to their oath of remaining hidden?

Shits on fire, they can decide to just show up like Sam Reich “we’ve been here the whole time”.
