We have more questions regarding Curiosity'due south Eternals' post-credit scenes than we do answers — but the expert news is that we do take some answers. Especially for those who reach the end of the epic film (reportedly more than two and a half hours long) and need to make a decision. And those decisions begin today, as the film's got the same Thursday nighttime screenings that large releases do.

And nosotros're curious about all the hush-hush nature of this chat, as correct now the secrets of the Eternals' mail service-credits scenes seem to be kept for a greater skillful. 1 website nosotros saw seemed to take posted a story near two actors in the motion picture'southward futurity in the MCU, then took the article downward. We're not naming names, but this is all very curious.

If nosotros're to accept Marvel Studios exec Kevin Feige at his give-and-take (something nosotros rarely suggest people do when it comes to anyone promoting a movie), then the Eternals postal service-credits scenes and the film itself volition have world-breaking events.

Specifically, Feige (in a promotional featurette) said "the impact Eternals will have on the MCU will be nothing less than redefining the cinematic universe entirely." That'southward quite a way to hype the most imminent upcoming Curiosity flick.

Are there Eternals mail-credits scenes?

In a word? Yes. In three words? In that location are two. And so yes, you should stick around in the theater.

In fact, director Chloé Zhao told Fandango "Don't just stay for the outset ane — as well stay for the second one, too. They are every bit as important in weight, and both have big surprises for y'all."

And this is where we have to, again, poke at how much of an impact Eternals volition have for the future of the MCU. The fact that both of these scenes are of import and accept weight? Sounds pretty of import, so don't go out yourself needing a bath pause at the end of the movie.

What happens in the Eternals post-credits scenes?

This is the much harder question to answer, because most of the events of these scenes oasis't been revealed by credible sources. And interestingly enough, that's stayed truthful through the day before the picture opened (Thursday, Nov. four) — though we expect the flood gates to rush open up late tonight when the movie's first public screenings go out.

We know of i thing that happens in one of the Eternals mail service-credits scenes. Just since Walt Disney Studio'south President of Marketing Asad Ayaz is so hole-and-corner about this news — he tweeted "To our colleagues & friends in the press & fan community who will be watching #Eternals in the days ahead, please help preserve the feel of this incredible picture. Delight do not post spoilers and reveals that then many take worked so hard to protect," — we're not going to repeat the details hither. We weren't asked to not share that detail hither, but it simply feels like a good thought.

That said, it'south not a real hugger-mugger. The folks at CNN published a large detail from the mail-credits scenes the twenty-four hours later on Ayaz asked for silence. You can acquire more over there if y'all want. But it seems like the post-credits scenes will concord far more that one piece of information.

In the aforementioned Fandango interview, Zhao reiterated what Feige said, noting "what happens in this picture show will have huge implications on the future." Which, we gauge, is a great reason for anybody associated with Eternals to want to protect these secrets. As for her own reaction to Feige's comments well-nigh redefining everything, Zhao notes that audiences will be "discovering the origin of the MCU through the mythology of the Celestials," and gain "a new understanding of planet Earth'south relationship with the creation, and also with her own inhabitants."

Amongst the previously-introduced characters that volition necktie into Eternals is Eson the Searcher, a Celestial seen in the film Guardians of the Galaxy. He's that giant with six bright lights for eyes and a giant glowing weapon. He previously endemic the power stone, and the trailers for Eternals makes clear he's due for a render.

Celestials, if yous oasis't read, created both the Eternals and the Deviants — who have been locked in battle.

As for what we call back of that leaked news about the mail service-credits scene? Wow, information technology's certainly going to draw attending. Merely we don't think it makes a whole lot of sense. We don't even see a resemblance.

Further, this is the kind of odd reveal and news that makes us wonder if someone, somewhere is fooling all of us. That headline is then out of left field that it seems like a different sport, to extend the metaphor.

Analysis: Eternals postal service-credits scene spoilers may seem more than of import than the movie

Always since Eternals was announced, nosotros've had questions. Specifically, why is Curiosity making this giant, epic film which looks cypher like what nosotros're used to? The Eternals have the same trouble that many Curiosity characters that were somewhen turned into comic book characters have had: few people know who they are and even fewer seem to have a strong connexion to them.

Aside from telling a specific story — of the people who are the original (they've been here for more than 7,000 years) super-powered beings in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Eternals appears to be a movie with intent for the time to come backside it. Which is the central issue many accept with the MCU: these movies can oftentimes feel more like interlinking chains of a massive corporate cinematic project than stories of their own.

And this is part of the reason people may exist then fix for the spoilers. When nosotros don't have an zipper to these characters, and going to a movie theater (Eternals is not going to exist on Disney Plus) isn't exactly the complimentary-wheeling adventure information technology used to be, the risk of feeling bad virtually being spoiled feels minimized.

For example, when Venom two's postal service-credits scene hype hit, those who didn't feel a potent connexion to Tom Hardy's have on the massively-tongued graphic symbol probably felt free to just Google it. That said, we've got our eyes out for any reliable leaks regarding the other details of the Eternals mail service-credits scenes. Feels like something big is afoot.
