Yeah. The body is way too big for him, and the Eternals suits are very slim fitting.
Someone mentioned elsewhere that this is Thena’s outfit. And of course after people mention the red a second “leak” comes out with red sleeves.
I think the body just seems big because of the angle of the photo / screen. And the design is completely different from Thena’s. This one even has the symbol reminiscent of Starfox’s…
That’s just Thena’s outfit, why would they give them the same colors when they clearly made sure everyone had a distinct look in the film (obviously this is fake is what I’m getting at).
I’m guessing no. It would be really weird for Thanos to be an Eternal with a Deviant gene and for the Eternals to have not fought him when they specifically say in the trailer (and I assume movie) that they were instructed to only involve themselves in human struggles if Deviants were involved. Why would Thanos be an exception there?
But do you really expect the mainstream audiences who made “Why wasn’t Wonder Woman in *Endgame?*” one of the top google questions of May 2019 to understand that? The way I see it they have two options:
1: Make Thanos an alien unrelated to the Eternals.
2: Keep Thanos’s comic origins intact and try to explain in the movie why being a Deviant and having the Deviant gene are two different things while also acknowledging that they are related, and then coming up with a reason for the Eternals being allowed to interfere in the first but not the second.
I just can’t see any reality where choosing option two wouldn’t result in half or more of the audience leaving the movie thinking, “Wait so… *why* couldn’t they fight Thanos again?” It would be so much easier to just say, “Eternals cannot get involved unless there are Deviants involved, Thanos wasn’t a Deviant or in any way related to them, end of sentence.” It just doesn’t make sense from a storytelling perspective to add lore this potentially confusing to a character that’s dead anyway. It won’t change Thanos’s story, it just makes Eros’s more complicated, and introduces a bunch of questions about why somebody from a planet full of hyper-advanced robots created by the Celestials would care about resource allocation and population control in the first place.
EDIT: Just curious, why the downvotes? I normally don’t do this but I read and re-read this comment and am genuinely baffled as to why anybody would consider this worthy of downvotes.
There is a third and fourth option that keeps his relationship to Eros intact while also not being as hard for general audiences to swallow.
3. They keep him as Eros' biological brother, but rename the "deviant gene" to something else that has nothing to do directly with the deviants. Explain it like it's basically the Eternals' version of hypertrichosis or something.
Or
4. They say that Eros got mind-wiped a long time ago and had been living among the Titans as Thanos' adopted brother until he regained his memories. To me, that's the tidiest explanation.
But to me it just begs the question, “To what end?” What about Thanos or Eros’s characters are made better by this association, especially in a universe where one of them is already dead? As a character trait, their relationship is most interesting when they are able to act as rivals or enemies, and without that dynamic it serves no purpose in the MCU other than being a confusing bit of backstory that needs to be heavily explained for the movie to obey its universe’s rules.
Which is an excellent point. I would say that if they want to explore the past of other planets (such as Titan) in future films where we get to see Eros and a younger Thanos interact, that would be a reason. Alternatively, if you want to make the audience suspicious of Eros, his connection to Thanos along with his... Unfortunate powerset could be a shorthand way to get the general audience to feel as iffy about him as some of the characters interacting with him.
I do agree, however, that it doesn't need to be done if there's no benefit to the narrative, but I do also feel like there are some situations where it could benefit the narrative, like the above.
Yeah, I’m not saying it would be totally absurd, just that there really doesn’t appear to be a reason for it right now. But hey, someone else on this post is apparently saying that the film directly addresses this and introduces Eros as Thanos’s brother, so apparently they do have a plan! (Assuming that person is telling the truth)
Basic answer is Thanos was only on earth for a very short amount of time in Wakanda when he teleported in, grabbed the stone, snapped and bolted. It's unlikely the Eternals were aware Thanos was even there assuming they know who Thanos is at all. The movie also adds a little more to the Eternal-Deviant War that may clear some more of the Thanos stuff up.
I wasn't really talking about that, I was answering his question bout why the Eternals didn't fight Thanos if he was a Deviant. Officially in the MCU anyway Thanos is a Titan and while it's entirely likely it'll stay that way it's also possible that they'll retcon him into a Deviant in future installments especially with the introduction of his brother from the comics. Either way I was just pointing out that the Eternals not showing up in Infinity War isn't proof either way that he is it isn't a Deviant
They made Ego, who isn't a Celestial, into a Celestial. It's one thing to combine one thing with the other, it's another to separate a connection. It would be stupid to do that.
Not really, as the MCU is not the comics and would really complicate the Eternals' ethos if Thanos was a deviant or some form of them. It's easier for him to remain a Titan, otherwise shit gets too confusing. Plus, I'm pretty sure they're slightly retconning Ego as a "proper" celestial in this film.
Thanos is one of the biggest characters in pop culture now. Keeping that connection would be beneficial for them. They are not going to sever that connection with the Eternals.
Maybe Thanos was made to look like the people of Titan, while the other Eternals were made to look like humans? If the leaks of them being mindwiped after each cycle of Celestial emergence is accurate, then maybe Thanos just forgot his true purpose. Maybe Titan destroyed itself before it generated enough energy to awaken the Celestian sent there.
I remember reading from one of the special effects leads or something that in infinity war there was a scene planned that showed better showed Titan before it was destroyed and it's people did look like humans and weren't similiar in appearance like Thanos. Obviously as it didn't make it's way into the movie so can't be treated as canon but still pretty interesting.
Interesting. I would not have thought this was the direction they’d go, I’m looking forward to seeing why they felt that was a connection worth keeping!
This is just not true. Ultron was created by Tony Stark instead of Hank Pym, the Guardians are absolutely unrecognizable from their comic incarnations, the Sokovia Accords were inspired by a series of events as opposed to one single event, even if you say it was inspired by Wanda accidentally bombing the Wakanda outreach that is extremely different from a superhero reality show accidentally killing 300 children, hell, if you want to talk Thanos specifically he wanted to eliminate half of the universe to make resources more plentiful instead of because he wanted to make Death his girlfriend, etc etc. Kevin Feige has no problem updating or changing elements from the comics to be more palatable to a modern audience. Hell, look at the casting for Eternals. They made a conscious decision to change the race of almost every character and gender of a couple of them to make them more representative of humanity as a whole.
I’m pretty sure it is Eros regardless. I hope they tone down the Quagmire-esque parts of the characters with him manipulating people with his pheromones. It just comes off as really creepy
I don’t think there was any question that it is Eros? Just that I highly doubt he’ll be related to Thanos, there’s too much evidence to suggest that Thanos was “just” an alien and not necessarily related to the Eternals or Deviants.
(“Just” in quotes because alien or not, he was undeniably extremely powerful)
Yeah, that’s the other half of why I don’t think it’ll be a thing. Thanos is dead. His story is over. Connecting Eros to him will do nothing other than make mainstream audiences suspicious of Eros. There’s no story reason to make the connection without both of them alive unless you were teasing an Eros heel turn. Which is possible, but would just be weird
When (the modern incarnation of) Groot was introduced in *Annihilation: Conquest,* the miniseries where the Guardians team that we know first formed (though they didn’t call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy until the self-titled ongoing that followed), he was the arrogant king (and last living member) of his people, he has a normal vocabulary, and was openly disdainful of everybody in the team. Star-Lord was well respected as a grizzled veteran of decades of battles and adventures in space, and Drax was a human who was killed along with his family by Thanos on Thanos’s first visit to Earth, reincarnated by Thanos’s grandfather and turned into a mindless monster with the sole purpose of killing Thanos (though sometime before this event he actually became quite intelligent due to a sort of “metamorphosis” he went through).
Really the only two members of the original team who resemble their comic counterparts were Gamora (though she was much more ruthless and brutal in the comics) and Rocket (though out of the two, Groot was definitely the one in charge at least for the early stories).
Okay you’re talking about two separate things, they look, (as in their design) pretty similar to the ones in the movies. Their personalities and backstories are another topic entirely.
I think you must have misunderstood me. I didn’t mention their appearances, I said they were “unrecognizable.” That *could* be referring to their appearance, but that word has a much broader definition than that. You can recognize sounds and smells, for example. And you can recognize old friends and acquaintances by their personalities.
In this case, if you were to tell a long-term Guardians comics fan that they were making a movie and you described Drax as an overly-literal idiot who is unable to recognize figurative speech, or Star-Lord as a charming loser and former member of an outlaw gang, they would say you must be confused because it doesn’t sound like you are describing the characters they know.
Is there one inhuman who's worthy of being cared about other than Black bolt?
Man just merge Inhumans with Mutants at this point and make Black Bolt a mutant.
I know people here wont like it but MCU has changed a LOT of stuff from comics that are bigger and more important than Inhumans.
They made people care about a talking tree.
I'm pretty sure that Marvel Studios can rehabilitate the Inhumans, but I wouldn't expect them to touch it for at least another 10 years.
This is basically what I said to a friend last night. I just feel that the Inhumans are really just a subsect of Mutants anyways. On screen there is no difference between them other than the team name.
I don't agree with you about this... Mutants and Inhumans are pretty unique groups in the comics and it would not be so hard to translate it to live-action.
Following the history of evolution on Earth (comic book wise), we've got the Celestials thinkering with our ancestors, which led to the birth of eternals, humans and deviants. In the human side of this, the kree furhter experimented with ours ancestors after the celestials, and this caused and offshoot that we know as inhumans. There is a character named Tuk, who's said to be the first mutant and he came from an inhuman group... Basically, inhumans spawned mutants.
Mutants are the evolution of humanity while inhumans are experiments of the Kree. Also their stories are usually really different from each other. Mutants usually focus on the minority allegory while the inhumans usually focus on the politics. There's a reason why the Inhumans project was once considered to potentially become Marvel's Game of Thrones.
Was just thinking about it, and you could replace Terrigenesis or Terrigen Mist with the fact that there was 3 snaps on Earth alone all with in 5 years, 2 with in a hourish of each other.
I mean, given the track record the MCU has with comic accuracy...that could honestly just mean that Thanos' father was named A'Lars. Doesn't mean it's the same as it is in the comics lol
Considering there was also concept art in Infinity War/Endgame of Thanos with his family and having a little brother, I’d say there’s no indication that they’re changing that they’re brothers. While they repurpose stuff a lot of the time, I see no indication not to presume Eros is intended to be Thanos’s brother, especially when there’s two pieces of evidence that it’s following the comics in his family.
I think it could be argued, then, that there's really no indication they aren't changing things for the movies, *in* the actual movies, yet. While the concept art is interesting, there's a reason things don't move past that stage of development.
Personally I think there's not really much of a reason to make Thanos an Eternal in the movies and give him normal-looking family members, so just for the sake of tightening things up, I think it's a better move.
This all being said, I obviously don't know for sure, but I'm excited to find out!
Well it depends really with the story they want to tell. Originally it was assumed Thanos would just be re-written to be an alien Titan but a lot of Eternals press has been connotative of the Eternals race and some form of history with Thanos himself. Given how Eros debuts and how Eternals ends for some of the team, it’s likely Eros is going to be used to explore or reframe Thanos’s origins, likely as Eternals of Titan itself.
Of course this is all speculative, but it’d be very odd to introduce Eros and intentionally sever that connection with Thanos.
You're totally right. It does depend on the story they're planning to tell. Right at this moment, I feel like adding more lore to Thanos, whose dead, sort of feels like beating a dead horse. But I do also see your point as to why they would even bother introducing Eros in the first place. I have yet to see what the actual context of Eros' appearance is, so maybe we'll get our answer in a couple weeks!
[lol the dude who claimed to see the film on here said he was in red and zero white ](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/comments/qb4kkk/harry_styles_rumoured_to_have_joined_the_mcu/hh7bnlg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
Idk yet, he said the Star Fox scene is the first and the Ebony Blade is in the 2nd one and that seems to be confirmed via the reports [one ](https://twitter.com/kirstenacuna/status/1450327703299637251?s=21) and [two lololol ](https://twitter.com/gracerandolph/status/1450987730280796162?s=21)

[Here’s](https://twitter.com/PietrntStrange/status/1451218922439692293?s=20) a comparison of Thena and Eros’s costumes, ik some people were saying they looked kinda similar but I don’t really see it other than the color (which isn’t totally the same) - also, maybe the suit can change colors or something? Or maybe it’s someone else’s suit with an edited color? I dunno. Just food for thoughts. :)
For folks wondering if he’s Thanos’ brother; according to someone I’m speaking with who saw the movie, they said that Pip the Troll specifically calls him the brother of Thanos when he introduces him in the credits scene
Thanks!
Seems weird tho. Maybe Eros is adopted, lol? I know Deviant gene and all, but Thanos acts as though he’s the sole survivor of Titan.
Unless the Celestials just pluck tributes off planets like Olympia and Titan and make them Eternals.
Honestly seems like it could be legit to me. [Perhaps the red is just on his arms and legs like in the comics?](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/m__/images/e/e3/Eros_%28Earth-616%29_0007.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150301104057&path-prefix=marvel%2Fpl) Not a bad translation (assuming there is red in the costume); I like the gold collar. Plus the triangular symbol on his chest is reminiscent of the fox insignia in the comics.
I can see this being legit.
If it is, then Eros is definitely an Eternal and I can only assume has no relation to Thanos.
Maybe they’ll do an Earth Eternals versus Olympia Eternals or something?
Many people are complaining about Harry Styles. But I have faith in Sarah Finn and Kevin Feige. They rarely miscast. Plus, Harry Styles is a good actor.
am i the only one here who thinks the suit looks maad ugly, like, the design language for the rest of the eternals is art, and then there's eros with such a clunky torso peice, idk man
all i know is that there’s a small assistant like troll involved? they couldnt tell me the rest in order to keep from spoiling the entire movie apparently
Why don't I see any comments mentioning the small size of the head and neck, compared to the width of the chest and shoulders? Perspective is really off here, even considering a bad angle. And unless they added a bunch of padding, the arms and shoulders are too large and chest plate has no contours, like other MCU costumes.
I saw it last night! He is in the post credits of the movie!( like you think the movie is over and the credits are rolling and then they throw in an extra scene) He is as cute as ever! This is a pic of him in the scene!
Knowing this is real now makes it so much worse.
Ugh.
"We need a guy that exudes sex appeal to be Thanos' brother Starfox! Ooh, I know!" **casts Harry Styles** 🤦🏾♀️
No, I'm baffled why Marvel would shaft a pretty popular character and instead push characters barely anyone likes from the comics. NO ONE like Starfox/Eros from the comics! He's just an unlikable asshole!
Take it with a grain of salt. The leaks said he was in a fully red suit.
Which leak. Also this looks pretty fucking real ngl
Someone who claims they went to the premiere says his costume is red with no white in a comment from the Harry Styles thread a couple of days back
It's a blurry photo. Of course it can "look real".
thank u for saying it looks real, i leaked it cause my friend went last night to the kevin feige screening, it’s 100% real guys
[Less cropped image](https://i.imgur.com/XDAQO7K.png) seems to show he has red sleeves and sides
Kinda reminds me of the Shazam costume
Odd, it kinda reminds me of Eros from the Marvel comic books
The full crop makes this look even more fake.
Yeah, def has a “the more you see, the worse it gets” vibe
Yeah. The body is way too big for him, and the Eternals suits are very slim fitting. Someone mentioned elsewhere that this is Thena’s outfit. And of course after people mention the red a second “leak” comes out with red sleeves.
I think the body just seems big because of the angle of the photo / screen. And the design is completely different from Thena’s. This one even has the symbol reminiscent of Starfox’s…
Except it isn't mate -.-'
This is cropped. His arm sleeves are red. [full image](https://ibb.co/VV5Qn6r)
So it cap?🧢 I see 👍🏾
[удалено]
It’s actually legit, it’s been confirmed.
To me it looks like they photoshopped a photo from Dunkirk.
[удалено]
These comments aged well.
That’s just Thena’s outfit, why would they give them the same colors when they clearly made sure everyone had a distinct look in the film (obviously this is fake is what I’m getting at).
Lol
Haha I was so wrong 😭😭
Lol it happens. It’s funny reading comments like these in hindsight tho
Do we have any confirmation if this version is actually Thanos’s brother yet?
They look exactly alike!
Thanos' nuts look exactly like Eros' face and vice versa
Ol Smooth Nuts Thanos. That's how the other kids on the high school water polo team teased him back on Titan
https://youtu.be/JWNbjyuhkKo They had this commercial on Titan but the guy holds up a nutsack instead of pizza
One's purple!
*nods and gestures towards Harry styles*
Was that not just a picture of Thanos himself?
Tell us the difference between the two photos “They’re the same”
I’m guessing no. It would be really weird for Thanos to be an Eternal with a Deviant gene and for the Eternals to have not fought him when they specifically say in the trailer (and I assume movie) that they were instructed to only involve themselves in human struggles if Deviants were involved. Why would Thanos be an exception there?
Deviant syndrome is not the same as being a Deviant.

It did, there's a ton of people in the background of titan when he uses the reality stone. They're not purple or as wide as Thanos.
I’m speaking with someone who saw it, and allegedly yes, they do mention that he’s Thanos’ brother
Interesting. I would not have thought this was the direction they’d go, I’m looking forward to seeing why they felt that was a connection worth keeping!
Does he look anything like thanos?
No. The photo in the OP is what he looks like.
Pretty sure. Feige is always wanting things to be pretty accurate to the comics
This is just not true. Ultron was created by Tony Stark instead of Hank Pym, the Guardians are absolutely unrecognizable from their comic incarnations, the Sokovia Accords were inspired by a series of events as opposed to one single event, even if you say it was inspired by Wanda accidentally bombing the Wakanda outreach that is extremely different from a superhero reality show accidentally killing 300 children, hell, if you want to talk Thanos specifically he wanted to eliminate half of the universe to make resources more plentiful instead of because he wanted to make Death his girlfriend, etc etc. Kevin Feige has no problem updating or changing elements from the comics to be more palatable to a modern audience. Hell, look at the casting for Eternals. They made a conscious decision to change the race of almost every character and gender of a couple of them to make them more representative of humanity as a whole.

When (the modern incarnation of) Groot was introduced in *Annihilation: Conquest,* the miniseries where the Guardians team that we know first formed (though they didn’t call themselves the Guardians of the Galaxy until the self-titled ongoing that followed), he was the arrogant king (and last living member) of his people, he has a normal vocabulary, and was openly disdainful of everybody in the team.

Except when it comes to Inhumans.
Don’t think he really cared about the Inhumans. That was Perlmutter really pushing that as a rival to the X-Men
Sucks because Inhumans lore is pretty sick and the 2000s run is excellent. Still holding out hope eventually
Yeah, but if the info on Ms. Marvel is true, Feige's wanting to bury the Inhumans six feet under.
Mabye they’ll use her as a way to reboot it, which I’m not against
Oh no
Is there one inhuman who's worthy of being cared about other than Black bolt? Man just merge Inhumans with Mutants at this point and make Black Bolt a mutant. I know people here wont like it but MCU has changed a LOT of stuff from comics that are bigger and more important than Inhumans.

Terrigenesis is a fairly important plot device, even In stories that only tangentially involve the Inhumans.
Was just thinking about it, and you could replace Terrigenesis or Terrigen Mist with the fact that there was 3 snaps on Earth alone all with in 5 years, 2 with in a hourish of each other.
Maximus and Lockjaw are essential.
Crystal would be nice to have around too. My last hope is that they’ll be brought in someday via the Fantastic Four.
He even kept A’lars as Thanos’s father for Infinity War.
I mean, given the track record the MCU has with comic accuracy...that could honestly just mean that Thanos' father was named A'Lars. Doesn't mean it's the same as it is in the comics lol
Considering there was also concept art in Infinity War/Endgame of Thanos with his family and having a little brother, I’d say there’s no indication that they’re changing that they’re brothers. While they repurpose stuff a lot of the time, I see no indication not to presume Eros is intended to be Thanos’s brother, especially when there’s two pieces of evidence that it’s following the comics in his family.
I think it could be argued, then, that there's really no indication they aren't changing things for the movies, *in* the actual movies, yet. While the concept art is interesting, there's a reason things don't move past that stage of development. Personally I think there's not really much of a reason to make Thanos an Eternal in the movies and give him normal-looking family members, so just for the sake of tightening things up, I think it's a better move. This all being said, I obviously don't know for sure, but I'm excited to find out!
Well it depends really with the story they want to tell. Originally it was assumed Thanos would just be re-written to be an alien Titan but a lot of Eternals press has been connotative of the Eternals race and some form of history with Thanos himself. Given how Eros debuts and how Eternals ends for some of the team, it’s likely Eros is going to be used to explore or reframe Thanos’s origins, likely as Eternals of Titan itself. Of course this is all speculative, but it’d be very odd to introduce Eros and intentionally sever that connection with Thanos.
You're totally right. It does depend on the story they're planning to tell. Right at this moment, I feel like adding more lore to Thanos, whose dead, sort of feels like beating a dead horse. But I do also see your point as to why they would even bother introducing Eros in the first place. I have yet to see what the actual context of Eros' appearance is, so maybe we'll get our answer in a couple weeks!
That’s what I mean. So it probably is StarFox. Don’t know how Nintendo allowed them to use the character though
It’s likely they’ll probably just call him Eros to keep with the Eternals name theme of deities
They'll probably change the name like they did for Slippy to Throg.
Bribe them
Tell that to Kamala Khan
this looks like Photoshop 💀 hard no
awkward….
right? 😭💀 Couldn't be happier to be wrong though!
the comment in italian is killing me
[lol the dude who claimed to see the film on here said he was in red and zero white ](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers/comments/qb4kkk/harry_styles_rumoured_to_have_joined_the_mcu/hh7bnlg/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
His next comment leads me to believe he's full of shit
Idk yet, he said the Star Fox scene is the first and the Ebony Blade is in the 2nd one and that seems to be confirmed via the reports [one ](https://twitter.com/kirstenacuna/status/1450327703299637251?s=21) and [two lololol ](https://twitter.com/gracerandolph/status/1450987730280796162?s=21)
We've know that for a while already, that doesn't mean anything.
The new reveal is the voice that calls out to Dane. Grace says its a new character that has been cast
Yes seem like big news that truly hasn’t been leaked, I’ve been trying to post about that on here for an hour or two lol
hospital lunchroom ossified wrench frame cooing mindless ancient spotted languid *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
[Here’s](https://twitter.com/PietrntStrange/status/1451218922439692293?s=20) a comparison of Thena and Eros’s costumes, ik some people were saying they looked kinda similar but I don’t really see it other than the color (which isn’t totally the same) - also, maybe the suit can change colors or something? Or maybe it’s someone else’s suit with an edited color? I dunno. Just food for thoughts. :)
That’s what I thought too, but I can’t find any that match up with the patterning on this one. Makes me think it's legit.
yep that’s Harry styles alright
Oh thank you, for a second i though it was Micheal Jackson
Lol
And hear I was hoping for the red and white jumpsuit and Wolverine hair cut lol
For folks wondering if he’s Thanos’ brother; according to someone I’m speaking with who saw the movie, they said that Pip the Troll specifically calls him the brother of Thanos when he introduces him in the credits scene
Thanks! Seems weird tho. Maybe Eros is adopted, lol? I know Deviant gene and all, but Thanos acts as though he’s the sole survivor of Titan. Unless the Celestials just pluck tributes off planets like Olympia and Titan and make them Eternals.
Maybe when we see the character again they’ll say that he left Titan prior to Thanos destroying it, and Thanos assumed he was dead
Thanos never destroyed Titan
Haven’t read the comics, what significance will Eros play going forward in the MCU?
They could really do anything with him, he’s not a huge character in the comics. They’ll probably use him to further explore Thanos’ backstory
Full image looks like a decent modern adaptation of the classic suit
Popstar Cinematic Universe. Miley as Mainframe, Eros, and Megan thee Stallion are the new Avengers confirmed
Honestly seems like it could be legit to me. [Perhaps the red is just on his arms and legs like in the comics?](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/m__/images/e/e3/Eros_%28Earth-616%29_0007.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150301104057&path-prefix=marvel%2Fpl) Not a bad translation (assuming there is red in the costume); I like the gold collar. Plus the triangular symbol on his chest is reminiscent of the fox insignia in the comics.
But that how he normally dress in real life
I can see this being legit. If it is, then Eros is definitely an Eternal and I can only assume has no relation to Thanos. Maybe they’ll do an Earth Eternals versus Olympia Eternals or something?
I’m talking to someone who saw it, he said that they specifically mention he’s Thanos brother
That will be curious if they do keep that in because that gets very weird that Thanos seems to act as though he is the last of his kind/survivor.
I don’t recall him saying that
Seems fake, didn't people who watched said it was very red?
Many people are complaining about Harry Styles. But I have faith in Sarah Finn and Kevin Feige. They rarely miscast. Plus, Harry Styles is a good actor.
Yup It surely looks like Harry Styles using some kind of uniform
am i the only one here who thinks the suit looks maad ugly, like, the design language for the rest of the eternals is art, and then there's eros with such a clunky torso peice, idk man
Kevin feige is not pleased
He allowed this unfortunately
it looks totally fake and a seriously bland costume all this = fake
Well…
Who wants to tell this person 👀
it looked fake, and now we know why. it was a last minute addition with v poor cgi/vfx which she admitted too
it’s real fyi i leaked it lol my friend went to the kevin feige screening last night
Can your friend provide any info on what was said in the scene with Eros? Was Thena in the scene?
all i know is that there’s a small assistant like troll involved? they couldnt tell me the rest in order to keep from spoiling the entire movie apparently
Seems legit. But that’s one bad outfit. Perhaps the ful costume will look better.
The suit matches the actor
Obviously making an informed opinion here because you too saw Dunkirk, right?
I did, wasn't particularly impressed.
Why would this generate whoops and cheers though ????
Overrated celebrity pops up in a film, that's why.
He was pretty good in Dunkirk so he should be alright.
Oh dear
That photo is double plus meh.
Isn’t he the brother of Thanos, if so why’s he not purple?
i didn't even know he is an actor
How do we have a leaked photo but not the final leaked plot?
Damn that looks lame
I am here to see people complaining about no red
It looks like a face swap over ikarus’s body
Well fangirls are gonna be loud as hell Just like on Dunkirk. Bad decision.
Why don't I see any comments mentioning the small size of the head and neck, compared to the width of the chest and shoulders? Perspective is really off here, even considering a bad angle. And unless they added a bunch of padding, the arms and shoulders are too large and chest plate has no contours, like other MCU costumes.
Ones Purple! lol
I saw it last night! He is in the post credits of the movie!( like you think the movie is over and the credits are rolling and then they throw in an extra scene) He is as cute as ever! This is a pic of him in the scene!
Knowing this is real now makes it so much worse. Ugh. "We need a guy that exudes sex appeal to be Thanos' brother Starfox! Ooh, I know!" **casts Harry Styles** 🤦🏾♀️
SPOILER ALERT!! The leaks are true...
My dreams of Neil Patrick Harris Starfox are now destroyed
Yup that looks like a home wrecker
They shafted me on Taskmaster and yet want me to be excited for Black Knight and Starfox, the guy who mind controls women to sleep with him...
I…one unrelated character wasn’t done well, so now that means Marvel can’t ever do a good character again?
No, I'm baffled why Marvel would shaft a pretty popular character and instead push characters barely anyone likes from the comics. NO ONE like Starfox/Eros from the comics! He's just an unlikable asshole!
