Kevin Feige on Harry Styles’ Future in the MCU
Harry Styles joined the mega-franchise MCU as Starfox in the mid-credits scene of the 2021 film Eternals. The movie, however, did not turn out to be the best of the cinematic universe, and there has been no significant update about the film or the character’s future in the franchise.
The studio head, Kevin Feige, has shared that the studio, along with the actor, are excited and are waiting for the right time. “He’s excited. We’re excited. We will see,” he said at the Las Vegas premiere of the upcoming film The Marvels, via Entertainment Tonight.
“You introduce a lot of new characters in a lot of movies and a lot of tags. Where do the tag folk reappear? That’s a good question,” he added. Feige has earlier addressed Styles’ potential future in the film series and has said that they are excited about “The Adventures of Eros and Pip (Patton Oswalt.)”
When asked about rumors surrounding Taylor Swift joining the MCU as Dazzler, he didn’t say much except, “A lot of musicians.” He has reportedly been interested in Dazzler-centric movies, as Fandango’s Erik Davis revealed that the studio head is a big fan of the Marvel character.
Concerns Surrounding Harry Styles’ Return to the MCU
Harry Styles’ cameo in Eternals had been an exciting update for the MCU fans. However, following Eternals‘ box office performance and no further updates about a sequel, fans have been concerned about his future in the franchise.
Apart from that, Styles’ subsequent performances in Don’t Worry Darling and My Policeman have been critically panned as well. The Dunkirk actor has also said that he would be taking a break from acting. “I don’t imagine I’d do a movie for a while,” he told Rolling Stone.
So far, there have been no updates about the Eternals sequel in the upcoming phases, which have stretched until 2026. Kevin Feige has also said that there are plans for Styles’ character in the “cosmic arena” of the MCU, so fans can expect to see the singer back in the superhero universe.
Eternals is available on Disney+.
The Marvels is set to release on 10 November 2023.
