HARRY Styles has reportedly joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe – playing Eros.
The shock news was revealed at last nights The Eternals premiere in Los Angeles.
A Variety reporter confirmed the news, tweeting: “Big reveal from #TheEternals premiere — Harry Styles has joined the MCU as Eros, brother of Thanos.”
Other reports suggest he made an appearance in the post credit scenes of the film, and the audience “squealed”.
It is thought Harry might star alongside Josh Brolin, who played Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.
Eros is the youngest son of two Eternals A’Lars and Sui-San.
Originally named Eron, he was rechristened Eros at the age of 5, given his interest in the opposite sex.
Eros grew up to be a fun-loving, carefree womanizer in contrast to his brother Thanos, a power-hungry, misanthropic schemer
Marvel fans are incredibly excited about the prospect of Harry joining the franchise.
