All Rights Reserved.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/div>\nThe first post-credits scene catches up with Druig (Barry Keoghan), Makkari (Lauren Ridfloff) and Thena (Angelina Jolie) on the Eternals\u2019 ship The Domo, which they set off on at the end of the film to tell other Eternals about what they\u2019d discovered (i.e. they were all helping hatch baby Celestials, not protect planets).<\/p>\n
However, after no contact from Earth for some time, they\u2019d realised something was wrong with their fellow Eternals. Deducing correctly that their Celestial boss Arishem (David Kaye) had abducted Sersi, Sprite, Kingo and Phastos after they foiled his plans, they opt to \u201cgo back\u201d \u2013 until they\u2019re surprised by the arrival of an unfamiliar face.<\/p>\n
Specifically, it\u2019s the face of Pip the Troll, there to herald the arrival of his master Eros<\/a>, described as the \u201cRoyal Prince of Titan,\u201d \u201cStarfox of mystery planet\u201d and \u201cbrother of Thanos\u201d among other things. To us, though, he\u2019ll always be known as pink-haired Harry Styles, whose surprise arrival in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was leaked from early press screenings.<\/p>\n ![\""Marvel's\"]( "\\"\"Marvel's\\"\/")
<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div> Marvel\u2019s Eros (aka Starfox)<\/span><\/figcaption> Marvel Entertainment\/YouTube<\/i><\/span><\/div>\nAnyway, he\u2019s here to help the Eternals. \u201cPip and I are here to help,\u201d he tells the stunned trio of Eternals. \u201cYour friends are in big trouble. And we know where to find them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eros has quite a long history in the comics, which you can read about here<\/a>, but in this context it looks very much like he\u2019s there to set up an Eternals sequel \u2013 or at least tease some more MCU appearances for Styles himself. After all, Eros has history (often romantic) with plenty of Marvel heroes and even joined the Avengers in the comics, so there are plenty of places he could pop up going forward.<\/p>\nEnd credits scene two<\/strong><\/h2>\n ![\""Kit\"]( "\\"\"marvel_eternals_kit_harington_gemma_chan\\"\/")
<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div> Kit Harington and Gemma Chan in Marvel\u2019s Eternals<\/span><\/figcaption> Marvel\/YouTube<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n\u00a0<\/strong>The second tease follows Sersi\u2019s (Gemma Chan) human boyfriend Dane Whitman, who\u2019s also responding to her sudden abduction by Arishem. In his office, we see Dane psyching himself up to open a mysterious box, emblazoned with his family crest.<\/p>\n\u201cYou can do this\u2026you can do this,\u201d he tells himself, before cracking it open to reveal a wrapped-up sword. But this isn\u2019t just any sword \u2013 this particular weapon comes with its own motto (\u201cDeath is my reward\u201d) and a habit of whispering nasty little words when it\u2019s gazed open, a bit like the One Ring.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry \u2013 I have to try,\u201d Dane says, and reaches for the blade, only to be interrupted by another voice.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure you\u2019re ready for that, Mr Whitman?\u201d an unseen American man says, before the scene cuts away to black.<\/p>\n
Confused? Well, this scene explicitly sets up Dane\u2019s transformation into his comic-book alter-ego, The Black Knight, a superhero who has appeared sporadically over the years.<\/p>\n
In the comics, Dane is usually the bearer of the Ebony Blade, a family heirloom that deflects magic and protects its wielder from death. Unfortunately, it also corrupts those who hold it into feelings of bloodlust and violence, making it a dangerous weapon for anyone to use for long.<\/p>\n
(Notably, the Ebony Blade is name-checked earlier in the film when Thena is playing around with Excalibur \u2013 in the comics, both came via the wizard Merlin, but have very different power sets.)<\/p>\n
Within this context, the second post-credits scene makes a lot more sense. Clearly, Dane intends to try and rescue Sersi by playing the only card he knows, tying himself to the power of the Ebony Blade. He\u2019s nervous because he knows what it could (or will) cost him, but willing to try anyway to save his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
Mentions of his difficult uncle (who Sersi encourages him to make up with) are also drawn from the comics, where Whitman\u2019s uncle Nathan Garrett was known as a supervillain also called The Black Knight (he was the first one, in fact).<\/p>\n
Presumably, we will see the other shoe drop in a future Marvel movie when Dane becomes the Black Knight, though whether that will be in an Eternals movie or some other project remains to be seen. Either way, Game of Thrones fans might not be too sorry to see Kit Harington wearing black, wielding a special sword all over again.<\/p>\n
