`Captain America: Brave New World Finally Addresses Eternals’ Biggest Question`

by

In the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Endgame, it’s often joked that most significant events from Phases Four and Five have never been revisited in subsequent films. For instance, what was the interstellar beacon hinted at during the post-credits scene of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings? Or, why does Doctor Strange have that third eye on his forehead? And let’s not forget about the deceased Celestial from Eternals. Well, it seems that the Celestial from Eternals finally takes center stage in an unexpected movie: Captain America: Brave New World.

In the climax of last year’s “Eternals,” a celestial body submerged in the Indian Ocean was the key focus. This very same celestial remains form the core of the storyline in “Captain America: Brave New World.” The newly elected President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (portrayed by Harrison Ford) has risked his burgeoning presidency on a treaty concerning shared access and control of this gigantic celestial remnant and its hidden technological wonders. It’s within the leftovers from the Eternals that an extraordinary metal is discovered – one that matches the strength and power of Wakanda’s exclusive Vibranium. If Ross’ treaty is approved, every major nation on Earth will be granted access to this material, potentially rendering the “Isolationist” nation of Wakanda unnecessary. The metal in question? Adamantium.

A major scene filled with thrilling action unfolds around Celestial Island in the Indian Ocean, as depicted in the film. The antagonist, known as The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson), is orchestrating a plan to instigate a war between the United States and Japan over the resource Adamantium. It’s a pivotal moment where Sam Wilson and Joaquin Torres must intervene to prevent this catastrophe. Many consider it the most impressive sequence in the entire movie.

At last, it’s clear where the deceased Celestial from the Eternals series ended up. For a moment there, we were worried that Marvel had let the details of Eternals slip away. Although Starfox is yet to make an appearance, at least we now have confirmation about the massive Celestial corpse. Quite remarkable! After all, what’s four years when you’re among friends?

Captain America: Brave New World is in cinemas now.
