Marvel Studios has the potential to introduce this iconic villain as their next major antagonist, replacing Jonathan Majors Kang.
Key Takeaways:
- Uranos from Eternals might just be the perfect stand-in for Kang.
- Oscar-winning writer was developing Eternals TV show.
In 2021, Eternals introduced a new team of MCU heroes with a stellar cast and high expectations, given its acclaimed director Chloe Zhao and Kevin Feige’s confidence in its quality.
However, the film received mixed reviews and underperformed at the box office, reflecting a trend seen in the MCU over the past two years.
With Jonathan Majors no longer playing Kang, there’s potential for an Eternals sequel to introduce a powerful villain as a replacement, potentially rivaling Thanos’ threat level in the MCU.
Uranos from Eternals might just be the perfect stand-in for Kang.
With Kang out of the picture, the MCU lacks a major villain after Thanos. Kang’s disappointing reception led to his dismissal.
Now, speculation swirls about who will replace Kang. One character stands out: Uranos from Eternals lore.
In the comics, Uranos is Thanos’ grand-uncle, upgraded by writer Kieron Gillen.
With the Eternals returning, Uranos could debut in a sequel.
His introduction could set the stage for a showdown with the Avengers and Eternals.
However, Marvel‘s plans for Uranos remain uncertain.
Oscar-winning writer was developing Eternals TV show.
Chloe Zhao‘s Eternals, released in 2021, received mixed reviews for its character treatment and narrative.
Recently, Oscar-winning writer John Ridley disclosed his prior development of an Eternals TV show, expressing his version as unique and preferable.
Ridley criticized the MCU’s portrayal, deeming it unsatisfactory.
Speaking to Comicbook Club, he conveyed his perspective on the matter.
“It was a television version of The Eternals. My version was the good version. It was so fucking weird. There was my version, a good version, which is good to me… There was the version that [Marvel] ended up doing, which I don’t think that version was particularly good. I’ll be honest.”
As the Eternals make a return in future projects, fans anticipate that the studio and filmmakers will enhance the characterization and narrative of the Eternals lore.
Zhao’s Eternals is available for streaming on Disney+.
