The Reckoning of an Overlooked Detail
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been under fire recently for overlooking past events in their new productions. However, the tide seems to have changed with the first teaser for Captain America: Brave New World. Among the numerous details that caught fans' eyes was the acknowledgment of a significant Eternals plot thread that had seemingly been left untouched, the partial emergence of Tiamut.
Tiamut's Inclusion in Captain America: Brave New World
In the 2021 film Eternals, the team of immortal beings, led by Sersi, prevented the emergence of Tiamut, a celestial being who could have obliterated Earth. Tiamut's head and left hand had partially emerged from the ocean, forming an unusual monument. Despite the dramatic sight, Tiamat's remnant was seldom referenced in subsequent MCU films, to fans' dismay.
This apparent misstep hasn't gone unnoticed by fans, who felt Tiamut's leftover should have drawn more attention from other MCU heroes. However, the studio stayed silent about this until now. The first teaser for Captain America: Brave New World showcased Anthony Mackie‘s Sam Wilson flying over what looked like a sea-based mountain, possibly the remains of Tiamut.
Fan Reactions and Perspectives
The reaction from fans was predominantly appreciative, voicing relief that Kevin Feige and Marvel Studios are acknowledging their concerns over the continuity of the storylines. Many fans expressed their excitement over social media about the potential importance of Tiamut and the Eternals storyline in the narrative. From acknowledging the Celestial's existence to praising Marvel for maintaining a degree of interconnectedness, fans are eagerly waiting for the film's release.
Sam Wilson's New World and Challenges
In Captain America: Brave New World, Anthony Mackie returns as Sam Wilson, navigating through his new status and the altered world order. The movie promises to revisit the tones of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a promise made by Kevin Feige.
Harrison Ford's General Ross, having been elected President of the United States, intends to bring Wilson's Captain America into an official military role. In a twist of roles, Ford may also play Red Hulk, if the teaser's fleeting glimpse is any indication.
The Wait for Captain America: Brave New World
Captain America: Brave New World spins a tale of intrigue as Wilson works to unearth and thwart a global conspiracy before it reaches a critical point. The film is scheduled to hit the screens on February 14, 2025, and fans are already counting down the days.
By acknowledging a seemingly overlooked detail from Eternals, the MCU seems to be backing track and heading towards a more intertwined storytelling strategy, much to the delight of fans. It remains to be seen how this particular storyline will weave itself into the fabric of Captain America: Brave New World and beyond.
