A Variety reporter, Matt Donnelly confirmed the news at the premiere of The Eternals, saying: “Big news from the #TheEternals premiere – Harry Styles is joining the MCU as Eros, brother of Thanos.”.

There isn’t much information about the upcoming project, but Harry could appear alongside Josh Brolin, who portrayed Thanos in Avengers: Endgame.
One Direction star Harry Styles will play the younger brother of Thanos, Eros, who was born to A’Lars and Sui-San, two Eternals after they developed an interest in the opposite sex. Unlike Thanos, who is power-hungry and carefree, this character is a womanizer, and the pair are most certainly at odds with each other.
The Post-Credits portion of the MCU is a classic way to introduce new characters, so his official entrance to the MCU shouldn’t be too far behind.
I hope he’ll appear in at least one Phase IV movie, which is currently slated through July 2023.
