Captain America: Brave New World Will Tie Up a Loose End From Eternals and She-Hulk
Captain America: Brave New World is going to address the giant celestial in the room.
As part of Marvel Studios’ Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday night, attendees were treated to footage from the big-screen follow-up to Disney+’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, starring MCU vet Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson aka the new Cap and Harrison Ford as newly installed President Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross.

One of the scenes shown indicated that the next new Marvel film (out February 14, 2025) will tie up a thread left loose at the end of Eternals, three years and nine MCU films ago.
TV’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law actually was the first (and last) to touch on this topic. In the Disney+ series’ second episode, Jen Walters (played by Tatiana Maslany) learned that she was being let go from her job as ADA, in the wake of her “hulking out” in the course of trying a case.
After a series of sad job interview snippets, a glum Jen resorted to visiting a website that suggests “Offbeat Jobs for a Fresh Start.” If you looked at the top two “Related Articles” on the right side, the first one was titled, “Man fights with metal claws in bar brawl” — hinting, of course, at the mutant known as Wolverine.
The other Related Article was titled, “Why there is a giant statue of a man sticking out of the ocean,” which raised the highly valid question raised by the ending of Marvel’s Eternals, which was set in 2024 and left the gargantuan, petrified body of Tiamut, a Celestial, jutting out of the Indian Ocean.

No Marvel movie since Eternals has broached the topic of the giant figure situated in the the Indian Ocean. But a scene from Captain America: Brave New World screened at Comic-Con showed President Ross holding a “Celestial Island Summit,” where he shares that a rare mineral called “Adamantium” (as in Wolverine’s impervious endoskeleton) had been found inside of Tiamut’s remains.
What do you make of how Captain America 4 will (finally!) address Eternals‘ ending, working adamantium into the MCU along the way?
