Patton Oswalt Says ‘Eternals’ Sequel Is In The Works With Director Chloe Zhao Returning

etcanada.com:

Did Patton Oswalt spill the beans on an unannounced “Eternals” sequel? The actor and comedian was a guest on the “Today” show on Tuesday, promoting his new film, “I Love My Dad”, when he was asked about possibly reprising his latest character in the MCU, Pip the Troll, who appeared alongside Harry Styles’ Eros in an “Eternals” post-credits scene. “They have announced there’s going to be an “Eternals” sequel, Chloe Zhao is going to direct it,” he shared. “So hopefully there will be more adventures of Starfox and Pip.” An “Eternals” sequel was not part of Marvel’s recent Hall H announcements at San Diego Comic-Con — which included everything from a Phase 5 timeline to the news that Phase 6 will include a new “Fantastic 4” film as well as two new “Avengers” epics.

However, fans have speculated that even more MCU announcements could be on the way at Disney’s upcoming D23 Expo in early September.

What we know so far about the MCU’s take on Eros comes mainly from Pip’s post-credits introduction, who shared with Thena (Angelina Jolie), Druig (Barry Keoghan) and Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) that he was the hero known as Starfox, the brother of Thanos, the “Knave of Hearts,” and the defeater of Black Roger.

In the scene, Styles’ character takes a moment to compliment Thena’s legendary beauty before issuing an ominous warning about Sersi (Gemma Chan) and the others, who have been summoned before Arishem for judgment over the group’s decision to kill the newborn Celestial, Tiamut, “Your friends are in big trouble,” Eros tells the group. “And we know where to find them.” It seems Marvel fans will have to wait and see how the proclamation plays out — the credits also promised that “The Eternals will return,” but nothing’s set in stone
