The future of 'Eternals 2' is a question on the minds of many Marvel Cinematic Universe fans. Following the release of 'Eternals' in November 2021, expectations for a sequel have been a topic of discussion among fans. Despite rumors and speculation, Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, has set the record straight. In a recent interview with Inverse, Feige stated that there are no immediate plans for 'Eternals 2'. While the film left several doors open for future stories, a sequel is not currently in the works. Feige mentioned that while there are acknowledgements of certain 'Eternals' events in other projects, such as the recent 'Captain America: Brave New World' trailer, there is nothing concrete about a direct sequel.
'There are no immediate plans for Eternals 2,' Kevin Feige tells Inverse. 'There are, and I think you’ve seen maybe in a trailer we’ve released recently, an acknowledgment of some of those events. Certain giant things came out of the ocean.' The release of 'Eternals' was one of the most anticipated movie events of 2021. With an estimated budget of $236.2 million, the film grossed approximately $402.1 million at the worldwide box office. Despite this impressive figure, there was a big difference between the professional and amateur reviews. However, the film's post-credits scene left open the possibility of a sequel, which kept fans' hopes alive.
Actor Patton Oswalt, who voices Pip the Troll in 'Eternals', stoked expectations when he mentioned that he believed 'Eternals 2' was in development. However, he later clarified that he had been misinformed and that there was no official confirmation about the sequel. This statement by Oswalt created confusion, but Feige's recent words have clarified the current situation.
