Theories about Harry Styles’ future as Starfox point to the character becoming a major Avenger in the MCU’s future. In one of Eternals’ post-credits scenes, the famous singer made an unexpected cameo as Eros a.k.a. Starfox, a key character in Marvel Comics. Like his comic counterpart, the MCU’s take on Starfox is the brother of Thanos himself.

Although Eternals released in 2020, Styles has yet to reprise his role as the comic book hero. Plus, there remains no official plans to bring him back. However, Marvel’s decision to show him in the first place indicates he’ll be important sooner or later. Not only that, but various comments regarding the actor’s MCU role make it clear that Marvel didn’t cast Harry Styles as Starfox for the purpose of just one scene. From the looks of things, Marvel does indeed have intentions of using the MCU’s Starfox again, but exactly how and when he’ll appear is still open to speculation.

Starfox’s Powers Make Him An Important Asset To The Avengers

Starfox’s Marvel Comics history alone is a sign that he’ll be an Avenger, given that the character was a member of the main team for a significant portion of the 1980s. That, combined with the abilities he has at his disposal, gives him good odds of being on the Avengers roster during the Multiverse Saga. In addition to his powers as an Eternal, which include super strength and flight, Starfox boasts a unique ability that sets him apart from his fellow Eternals: he can telepathically manipulate the pleasure centers of the brain. It helped the Avengers in the comics immensely, and could do the same for the MCU team.

The obvious, controversial aspects of such a power aside, it’s an ability with all sorts of potential when it comes to saving the world. Exactly how useful it can be was on display in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 though Mantis, who influenced people’s emotions to their advantage on numerous occasions. Starfox has had similar success with it in the comics, where he’s employed it to defuse tense situations with powerful opponents or make them drop their guard just long enough for Starfox and the Avengers to gain the upper hand.

The Avengers Will Need Starfox’s Help To Beat Kang

Starfox’s power level makes him an invaluable asset, and one they’ll surely need when they go up against Kang the Conqueror in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. Considering that they’ll have untold number of Kangs to deal with via the Council of Kangs, the extra muscle they’d get from Starfox’s presence would greatly boost their chances of winning. And though his signature ability power failed to work on the all-powerful Thanos in the comics, it could have some sway over Kang, especially since the villain, for all his capabilities, is only human.
