Lauren Ridloff was questioned about whether she would return to play Makkari in future occurrences.
Avengers: Doomsday
Unfortunately, she mentioned through her sign language interpreter that the beloved speedster Eternal may not come back in the much-awaited crossover.
It’s improbable. I’m unsure, but my magic eight ball suggests otherwise.
Given that Makkari might not be able to attend the movie, it raises the possibility that the entire Eternals team could face a similar situation. This prompts questions when Marvel Studios unveiled the initial portion of

Not one Eternal managed to secure a spot on the list. Conversely, complete teams such as the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Thunderbolts have been officially confirmed for inclusion.

It looks like this could turn into quite an overcrowded project—so much so that not all characters may get significant screen time. Given this, it might work out well for another popular set of characters (like the X-Men) to take center stage while the Eternals play more of a background role, at least until after the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga.
Hopefully, Marvel won\’t just act as though the
