The buzz around 'Eternals 2' has me rewatching the first film non-stop, trying to spot every hint about who might return. Gemma Chan's Sersi feels like a given—her connection with Kit Harington's Dane Whitman was barely explored, and that post-credits scene with Blade? No way Marvel drops that thread. Ikaris (Richard Madden) 'died,' but come on, this is comics—floating into the sun just means a dramatic comeback later. Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) and Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) were fan favorites, so I’d bet money they’re back. Sprite (Lia McHugh) aging into a mortal could be a wild card, but maybe she’ll return with a new twist. And Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani)? His humor alone guarantees a spot. The real question is whether Harry Styles’ Eros gets more screen time—that cameo was too juicy to ignore.
As for the Deviants, Kro’s fate was ambiguous, but I’d love to see more of their evolution. And let’s not forget Arishem’s looming judgment—that cliffhanger demands resolution. Personally, I hope Salma Hayek’s Ajak gets a flashback or two; her leadership vibe was underused. The sequel could dive deeper into Celestial lore, maybe even tie into 'Guardians of the Galaxy' or 'Thor.' Honestly, my biggest wish? More of that gorgeous cosmic cinematography paired with these characters’ messy, godlike family drama.
