Harry Styles apparently joined MCU in the 'Eternals' post-credits scene

Eternals enjoyed its Los Angeles premiere Monday night.

Harry Styles was not physically present, as his Love On Tour hit Cleveland, but it was revealed during the post-credits that the 27-year-old Grammy winner is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Eros, Thanos' brother, which rocked everyone in L.A. to Cleveland and everywhere in between:

Donnelly, a Variety senior film writer, didn't provide any more details, but Variety's Marc Malkin did confirm that the audience in the theater for the premiere "squealed."

While Marvel will likely keep everybody in the dark for as long as possible about Styles' exact role and positioning, here's what is certain about the former One Direction member's burgeoning acting career: His feature-acting debut came in 2017's Oscar-winning historical drama Dunkirk, and he's set to star in Don't Worry Darling, the September 2022 period thriller directed by his rumored girlfriend Olivia Wilde.

Eternals, directed by Oscar-winning trailblazer Chloé Zhao, hits theaters Nov. 5. Watch the star-studded trailer below.
