The debut of the X-Men in the MCU could serve as the perfect vehicle to retool the Eternals, creating a dynamic rivalry between groups of heroes.
The imminent debut of mutants and the X-Men in the MCU creates a new opportunity for the Eternals franchise and its unknown future. Rather than building up to some sort of conflict with the Avengers in a Civil War-type crossover, the X-Men could instead become targeted by the Eternals. Based on a new development in Marvel Comics, a crossover between the Eternals and X-Men makes a lot more sense to happen before any kind of battle with Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Following 2021's Eternals from director Chloé Zhao and its poor reception at the box office, the future of the immortal heroes has been a rather big question mark in the MCU. That said, there's still a desire to see the Celestial-born heroes again, either in their own sequel or in another MCU project. The Eternals also left a giant Celestial head in the ocean which still has not been adequately addressed.
While the watering down of the Deviants in the MCU was widely panned and criticized in Eternals, it may have opened up a future narrative avenue with the X-Men. Considering the fact that the Eternals went to war with mutants due to their Deviant ancestry in Judgment Day, something similar could now happen in the MCU without a potential conflict feeling too redundant due to the Deviants' more primal depictions on-screen.
The Eternals Can Be Retooled As Enemies For MCU X-Men More than an adaptation of Avengers vs X-Men, a clash of mutants and Eternals feels like a more compelling crossover ot start off with in the MCU. Likewise, the Eternals themselves may not have a choice in the matter if the Celestials choose to inflict their will upon their creations and want mutants exterminated.
