Eternals' underperformed at the box office by Marvel standards and is often cited as one of the studio’s weaker entries.

Kumail Nanjiani has spoken openly before about how the critical and audience reaction to Marvel's Eternals impacted him personally. Back in March, he talked about how Marvel had expected the film to be a major success, he thought the film was good himself, and he hyped himself for audiences to feel the same.

After the events of the movie, Arishem arrives on Earth and takes a number of members of the team into space, including Nanjiani's Kingo. Then the Etenals credits scene then introduced Harry Styles' Eros, who was seemingly going to help the rest of the team in a rescue mission.
