Despite Kevin Feigeʼs tireless efforts to keep the cogs of the megalomaniacal Marvel universe running, some of the products like the star-studdedEternalscome out a bit worse for the wear and bear the brunt of the fans who remain dejected with the performance of the Phase Four era.

The quality of projects originating in the post-Endgamesaga of the MCU have performed categorically worse in the recent past. Regardless, not many original projects coming out of that Phase have received the sequel treatment.

Moreover, the studioʼs stagnating state of work neither shows improvement nor the desire to achieve it, making it difficult to accept Marvelʼs decision regarding a Phase Four film sequel.

Kevin Feige Intent on BringingEternals 2to the Big Screen
At the time of its announcement,Eternalswas decidedly a hit straight off the bat by virtue of its star-studded cast, comprising Richard Madden,Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan,Salma Hayek, andBarry Keoghan, to name a few. Directed by Marvel debutante Chloe Zhao, the creative endeavor failed shortly after its premiere for reasons attributed to the screenplay, pacing, and predictable plot points.

With how Zhao left things at the end of the first film,Eternals 2might have to do with the arrival of Eros aka Starfox, brother of the Mad Titan Thanos, who could play a central role as the antagonist to the heroes, given his complex dual nature in the comics.
Eternals 2could also pick up the thread ofKit Haringtonʼs character arc as Dane Whitman aka Black Knight and unfold the narrative around his role to show the aftermath of his transformation upon accidentally discovering the Ebony Blade at the end of the film.

Moreover,Eternalsalso left its finale open-ended due to Sersi destroying Tiamut and thwarting the Celestialsʼ plans by choosing Earth over her original mission. The implications of such an action could bring chaos of such scale that could be worthy of being the central plot ofEternals 2.Despite the subpar outcome of the 2021 film, there are myriad reasons whyEternals 2can be a smart call onKevin Feigeʼs part.
Fans Protest Against Kevin FeigeʼsEternals 2Decision

After the consistent blunder of Phases Four and Five, fans are easily alarmed about each new update and announcement made by the studio, let alone one that seeks to expand on an already flop film.
As such, protests, dissent, outcries, and disagreements have filtered into social media platforms after the rumors of Feigeʼs alleged efforts to bringEternals 2to the big screen.

If true this is why Feige needs to go.

We don’t need a sequel.

The only reason to make Eternals 2 is so Eternals won’t be the worst MCU movie anymore

I think it’s time to replace Feige.

Despite the resounding NO echoing among the Marvel fandom, there also lies an alternate option that serves as an easy fix to theEternals 2problem. Instead of fitting such a larger-than-life plot into a 2-hour narrative, anEternalsstory would be better portrayed as a Disney+ series where each character gets more screen time to flesh out their backstories and arcs.

Given the rushed pace of the first movie, arcs like Angelina Jolieʼs Thena, the beloved pairing of Druig and Makkari, and Kingo and Gilgameshʼs storyline were barely touched upon, thus leaving much to be desired by the fans. A 2-hour film doesnʼt do justice to an extensive cast such as this and the news ofEternals 2would be much better received if it was greenlit as a Disney+ series.
