In the post-credits scenes of ' Eternals ', we discovered that the Marvel Cinematic Universe had secretly cast Harry Styles for the role of Eros, the brother of Thanos ( Josh Brolin ). Now the franchise's Twitter account has formally presented this character with an official poster and dedicated these words to him: "Meet the Royal Prince of Titan, Thanos's brother, the Knave of Hearts, defeater of Black Roger, the great adventurer Starfox. Check out the new character poster for Eros and see Harry Styles inMarvel Studios' Eternals. "

In an interview with Dazed, Styles has finally broken his silence about his unexpected role and expressed his gratitude for joining the Chloé Zhao film : "I only come out right at the end. But who didn't grow up wanting to be a superhero? It was a great experience and I am very grateful to have gotten to work with Chloé . "

Why Styles?

In a chat with IndieWire Zhao also explains why she wanted the star to play this superhero: " When I went to release 'Eternals', there was only one person I thought could do this, and that was Harry Styles. I saw him in ' Dunkirk. ' and he blew me away. I thought it was very visually interesting. So for the post-credits sequence to exist, I needed a yes from Kevin [Feige] and a yes from Harry, and luckily they both said yes. "

On why she introduced this character into the plot, the filmmaker explains that she wanted to further investigate the origin of the Eternals themselves: " The fact that, in the comics, Eros was on Titan, made me think that if Eros was an Eternal, maybe Titan has responsibilities similar to Earth. Could Eros have affected someone like Thanos the way [former Eternals leader] Ajak [ Salma Hayek ] has affected Earthlings? And what does that mean? It's clearly just creepy. " Eros has come to the MCU to stay, so we will keep an eye out for Harry Styles' next appearance in the franchise.
