With Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe done and dusted (pun intended) now that Spider-Man: Far From Home is out in the world, the big question on the minds of every Marvel fan is “what’s next?”
There’s a hero hole that needs to be filled in the post-Blip MCU and it appears that Marvel are plugging the gap by getting stars like Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, and Angelina Jolie to star in the (still unconfirmed) Eternals movie.
But perhaps sensing that they need something to really get fans buzzing for future films now that a bunch of OG stars are gone, Marvel have apparently decided to hire a Stranger Things star.
Variety reports that Marvel has big plans for San Diego Comic Con and buried right in there is an unassuming tidbit that the comic book movie behemoth has nabbed none other than Millie Bobby Brown to join The Eternals.
As for who she’ll play and all that stuff, we know about as much as Madden’s brooding cousin (not half-brother) from Game of Thrones: nothing.
Now take this with some massive grains of salt since Marvel has yet to confirm anything about The Eternals or any casting reports. For all we know there could actually be no Eternals movie and it was all a big bait and switch for an X-Men or Fantastic Four reboot featuring a cameo from Godzilla.
Nonetheless, Marvel are pulling a smart move here by jumping on the Stranger Things buzz while it’s still hot. Either way, We’ll find out sooner or later whether Eleven will turn things Upside Down in MCU or if it’s just a rumour that’ll disappear like the victims of the Blip.
