Patton Oswalt leaks Marvel plans for Eternals 2 with Chloe Zhao returning to direct Dexerto
In a recent interview, actor Patton Oswalt might have accidentally let slip that Eternals 2 is going ahead and that the sequel will be directed by Chloe Zhao.
Patton Oswalt recently appeared on the Today Show. During the interview, host Al Roker asked the actor about his work in the Marvel universe. Oswald had a small role during the post-credits scene of the 2021 film The Eternals.
During the scene, it was revealed that Oswalt was playing the character of Pip, appearing alongside Harry Styles’ Starfox, Thanos’ brother. When asked if viewers can expect to see more of him in the future, Oswald might have accidentally confirmed that Eternals 2 is in the works.
After initially dodging the question, Oswalt said, “They have announced that there will be a sequel to Eternals, Chloé Zhao will direct it.” He then added that he hopes this means “there will be more adventures of Star Fox and Pip.
While this isn’t definitive confirmation that Eternals 2 is moving forward, it is the biggest update a sequel has received since the first movie came out. During Comic Con 2022, there was no talk of Eternals 2. Also, when the big roadmap for all future MCU projects was unveiled, an Eternals sequel was noticeably missing from the lineup.
However, the schedule for Phase 6 of the MCU had several blanks. So one of these yet-to-be-revealed movies could be the Eternals sequel that Oswald was referring to. If so, fans will still have to wait a few years before the movie is released.
In addition to this, the news that Chloe Zhao will return to direct the sequel is also quite surprising. Zhao is a critically acclaimed director and won a Best Director Oscar in 2021 for her film Nomadland. Nevertheless, reports after the first film indicated that his relationship with Marvel has become strained.
This wouldn’t be the first time a future MCU project has been spoiled. Previously, many Marvel actors have given details about upcoming projects. In particular, Tom Holland has earned a reputation for giving away spoilers for new Marvel movies. Marvel has yet to comment on whether or not this Eternals 2 leak is true.
