A new report suggests that fans could be seeing the return of an Eternals member in 2027’s Avengers: Secret Wars.
What Eternals member might be back for Avengers: Secret Wars?
According to a recent post on social media, The Geeky Cast quoted a post from someone else noting that they heard a character from Eternals would return in Secret Wars. The Geeky Cast revealed that character to be Ikaris, played by Richard Madden in the movie and one of the more powerful members of the group.
According to the post, a stunt double for Ikaris was meant to be doing work on Marvel Studios’ now-scrapped Avengers film The Kang Dynasty, and a family member revealed it on Instagram last year. Obviously, it’s unknown as of now if any of this will turn out to be true, but it is now the second rumor regarding the Eternals’ MCU future we’ve seen this month.
