Ok folks, a Marvel Studios film has been released. Yes, it’s only been a matter of hours since the first non-press audiences saw “Eternals” on opening night, but you know the deal—spoilers are out there and even director Chloe Zhao is talking about one of the biggest surprises in one of the post-credits scenes.

So…
**Spoilers ahead for “Eternals”**
**Seriously…spoilers**
**Last chance before I spoil the end-credits scenes in “Eternals.” You’ve been warned.**
With all the warnings out of the way, let’s talk about the end credits scenes in “Eternals.” As has already been widely circulated since the critics saw the film weeks ago, we all know that Harry Styles debuts as Eros, aka Star Fox, in the first end-credits scene of “Eternals.” And if you’re wondering, yes that’s Patton Oswalt playing the silly Pip the Troll. But speaking to Fandom, Zhao was more excited to talk about the second post-credits scene.

In the final scene, fans are greeted with a tease about the future of Dane Whitman (Kit Harington), as he is debating whether or not to use the cursed Ebony Blade and become the anti-hero, Black Knight. He’s going back and forth, being drawn to the blade but understanding the terrible consequences that can arise from using it. Finally, he says, “I’m sorry, I have to try.”
But just as he says that, he’s interrupted by the voice of a man, from off-camera, who interjects, “Sure you’re ready for that, Mr. Whitman?”
And that’s it. From there, the screen cuts to black and we’re done. So, who is the mysterious voice? Well, dear reader, it’s apparently the first MCU appearance of Mahershala Ali’s Blade.
“That was the voice of one of my favorite superheroes, Mr. Blade himself. Blade, Blade, Blade, yeah!” said Zhao. But don’t expect her to spill the beans on what the future of Blade and Black Knight will be.
“You just have to wait for it,” she teased. “I don’t know what they’re doing with the movie, but Mahershala is a treasure. It’s going to be epic.”
It’s unclear if Black Knight will factor into the upcoming “Blade” film starring Mahershala Ali and directed by Bassam Tariq. However, it does appear that perhaps Kit Harington will at least appear in the film, or maybe Blade will become a new tease at the end of MCU projects. We’ll just have to wait and see.
But for now, if you want the first taste of Blade, folks who stuck through the credits of “Eternals” have seen, err, heard it already.
