Is Harry Styles in Guardians of the Galaxy 3?

According to James Gunn, Marvel fans who were hoping to see Harry Styles reprise his role as Eros aka Starfox from Eternals in the future guardians of the galaxy the movie will have to go back to the drawing board on its fan theories. The director recently spoke with ExtraTV and, in a clip you can see below, overturned belief that Thanos’ brother would appear in the highly anticipated Guardians-centric film. When asked the question, Gunn immediately replied “no”, going so far as to say that the character will not appear in the next episode featuring everyone’s favorite cosmic travelers.

The rumor mill has produced more speculation than ever since Kevin Feige recently revealed that Harry Styles’ character will have “exciting” things to come in the MCU. Because Starfox is brother to world destroyer Thanos, and then in turn uncle to Gamora and Nebula, there was a huge possibility that Styles would appear in the upcoming Guardians movie. But, alas, the A direction the singer will not yet meet the Guardians. We hope to see their paths cross because can you imagine how good the banter would be?

In EternalIn his short introduction to Starfox, he was seen accompanying Pip the Troll (Patton Oswalt) to help Thena (Angelina Jolie), Druig (Barry Keoghan) and Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) save the other celestial beings, Sersi (Gemma Chan ), Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) and Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) from Arishem (David Kaye). Although different in heart, mind, and certainly appearance from his now-deceased brother Thanos, Starfox has also used his powers for evil. His ability allows him to manipulate and control the emotional state of others, which he has used in the past to attract romantic partners. Obviously, this has already landed Eros in hot water, including finding himself on trial for sexual assault – but we think Marvel could leave that part out of Styles’ storyline.

With Gunn quashing rumors of Starfox appearing in his latest Guardians film, the question remains where he will show up. Whereas Eternals 2 is definitely somewhere on the horizon, we don’t know how far away it will be. The movie left us with a giant cliffhanger that probably won’t be resolved until the sequel, but Marvel loves to throw us on a loop, so it’s possible that Styles and the rest of his celestial pals could appear in another movie with other heroes. step in to give them a hand. With so much teasing for Deployment Phases 4, 5, and 6, anything is truly possible.

Even without Harry Styles, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is trucking all the way. During that same chat with ExtraTV, Gunn revealed that he was having fun working on the film’s edit. As we race through 2022, we’re keeping our eyes on the price of the May 5, 2023 release of the bittersweet final episode of the Guardians’ single-player adventures. And, perhaps more so, we’re also keeping our eyes peeled and ears open for more news regarding exactly when we can expect to see Starfox and the rest of the Eternals in future MCU productions.
