Harry Styles’ Eternals Hero Returns In a Marvel Project You Never Saw
In “Marvel’s What If…? An Immersive Story” (via Cas and Chary XR on YouTube), Eros appears at the trial of Thanos as he’s tried for being a criminal after attempting to steal the Power Stone on Xandar. Eros, who sports a comic-accurate look, including his slicked-back, pointed hair, tries to defend his brother, telling the magistrate he’s his advocate. The Eternal, who has psionic powers that allow him to stimulate pleasure centers in other people’s brains, compliments Carol Danvers, who is a Centurion in the Nova Corps in this reality. But his flirtatious style doesn’t impress the powerful warrior. Eros pleads Thanos’ case, claiming that the Mad Titan is deeply remorseful for his actions, which were executed with Titan’s well-being in mind. He mentions their father, Mentor, whispering in a judge’s ear before Thanos undoes any help Eros might have provided by declaring the trial a joke.
Eros’ appearance is relatively brief, but the scene (even though it takes place in an alternate reality) showcases his manipulative tendencies and personality more than his lone live-action appearance. It digs deeper into his relationship with Thanos and features the first mention of their father, Mentor. Whether Harry Styles returns to the MCU is still up in the air, but hopefully audiences will eventually get a chance to see the character at his full potential. Until then, the Apple Vision Pro VR game does a pretty solid job of bringing the Eros comic book fans know to life.
