It sounds as though Harry Styles has a long and prosperous future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) ahead of him.
The former One Direction star, 28, made a cameo as Eros, also known as Starfox, at the end of 2021’s Eternals and an MCU producer has now confirmed the studio wants Harry back.
Producer Nate Moore said this week: ‘There are more stories to be told with the character.’ Anyone else jumping for joy?
Nate continued: ‘We certainly didn’t cast Harry for a tag,’ although the studio exec did admit: ‘Maybe I have too much affection for [that character] because he’s had some problematic runs in publishing.’
‘He has a really interesting connection with Thanos; they’re half-brothers and share the same father. He has an interesting power set,’ Nate added to Deadline.
‘He’s a complicated character, but a really fun character. And I think… having met Harry Styles, he is as charming as you want him to be. And I think there’s no limit to how good that character’s going to be once we get to bring him back.’

Eternals’ director, Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, previously told the publication of casting Harry: ‘It wasn’t like I suggested Eros, and let’s go find actors. I kept tabs on Harry since Dunkirk, I thought he was very interesting.
‘After meeting him I realized he is that character – the same way I cast the rest of my cast.
‘There’s so much of Eros in him. For me, if he says yes and Kevin says yes then it’s a go. And I’m very happy they both did.’
Harry also opened up about his cameo to Dazed in 2021, saying: ‘I’m only in right at the very end. But who didn’t grow up wanting to be a superhero, you know?’
Praising the blockbuster’s director, Harry added: ‘It was a great experience and I’m so grateful to have gotten to work with Chloé.’
