Marvel’s Eternals: New Heroes & a Surprising Superman Cameo
The Eternals movie is about to hit the big screen this fall, marking Marvel’s latest attempt to bring a fresh wave of gods and guardians into the MCU. But before the countdown begins, an unexpected side‑kick slipped into the spotlight: DC’s Superman!
Who’s the “Superman” here?
In the recently released promotional clip, Phastos’s little son, still learning the ropes, stumbles on his dad’s new kick‑starter hero, Ikaris, and exclaims, “Dad, that’s Superman!”
It’s an honest mix‑up—the indescribable glow of a comic book mess and the inevitable collision of two iconic powers. Both Ikaris and his long‑long‑away cousin from the DC universe can level up the sky and fire laser blasts from their eyes. And honestly, who could tell them apart on the first glance?
The Comedy Strategy
- Standing in the spotlight: By poking fun at the similarities, Marvel is essentially giving a cheeky wink to fans.
- Controlling the narrative: The cameo light-heartedly sidesteps a potential “Who’s who” debate, letting Marvel steer the conversation around its newest roster.
- No hard crossing: The MCU historically keeps its own world separate, so this small nod doesn’t mean an imminent DC‑Marvel mash‑up.
What Could It Mean for the MCU?
The implications are still up in the air. Will this little cameo hint at future crossover possibilities? Or will it simply be a fun Easter egg? For now, fans must enjoy the humor and wait for the official release to see how the ironclad universe holds together.
Showtime
Eternals officially arrives on the silver screen on Nov 4, 2021. While the title may still feel a little dated, fans are certain—that moment when Subaru’s “Superman” line sticks around—will keep the conversation buzzing for weeks.
