Eternals director Chloé Zhao provides a puzzling answer when asked whether she's interested in returning to the MCU to direct Eternals 2.
Eternals director Chloé Zhao provides an update on her involvement with a possible Eternals 2. Although Chloé Zhao's Academy Award-winning directorial style is patent in 2021's Eternals, the Phase 4 ensemble movie was received with mixed reactions, becoming the first MCU movie to earn a rotten score in Rotten Tomatoes. Eternals' poor reception doesn't keep the main cast from returning, but the possibility of a direct sequel remains dubious.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a Hollywood Reporter interview during Johnnie Walker's red carpet event for the 16th Annual Women In Film Oscar Party, director Chloé Zhao was asked whether she would be interested in directing an MCU Eternals sequel, to which Zhao simply responded, "no comment.
Even if Chloé Zhao chooses not to return to the MCU and Marvel Studios doesn't greenlight Eternals 2, Eternals can have a spiritual sequel in the form of future appearances by the main cast. For instance, Harry Styles' Eros could star in an MCU movie or show alongside Thena, Makkari, and Druig, while Kingo and Phastos can cameo in future Earth-based stories and Sersi can play a role in a cosmic event involving the Celestials — all without the need of a direct Eternals sequel.
