[[WMG: Sprite still has her powers, and will join the Young Avengers]]
The rest of the Eternals are off in space setting up their own sequel, and the only hint towards the future besides that is of Dane, who was just a side character in this film. Sprite joining an team would give the film a stronger connection to the MCU.

Gilgamesh's relationship with Enkidu in TheEpicofGilgamesh is often interpreted as romantic by scholars, making him the most logical Eternal to give AdaptationalSexuality, and Phastos's power is his great intelligence, making him the most logical Eternal for Kro to consume to become sapient.

Sure, his cameras were smashed, but the SD cards in them should be just fine.

\n\n[[WMG: The Set animal is a Deviant in the MCU universe]]
* A major Egyptian god, Set, was merely claimed to be the Set animal, and even today what the Set animal was isn't known and is up for debate. A deviant fits that role perfectly: A mysterious creature active around the time of ancient Egypt, that vanished long before archeologists started digging up and examining hieroglyphics, carvings, and tombs.

[[WMG: Ikaris inspired the writers who created Superman in the MCU]]
* They inspired tales in the past, why not ones in more modern times.
** For good measure, maybe Thena inspired Wonder Woman.

While Film/ShangChiAndTheLegendOfTheTenRings did reveal that the Avengers as an organization are still somewhat active, to what extent is still unknown. However, when the team does eventually come back together (i.e. reassemble) they're going to need a new headquarters. As Film/AvengersEndgame left the state/future of Avengers Compound very unclear as to whether it would be rebuild or not.
* Plus the MCU has thus far brought two of the team's most iconic bases to life on the big screen already with both Avengers Tower and Avengers Compound(which is bascially the MCU version of Avengers Mansion from the comics).

[[WMG: The Eternal Legba will be introduced and be the key to Gilgamesh being revived]]
In the comics, Legba didn't have any unique power (that I can find anyway), but in the MCU, he'll be given powers loosely based on the role his namesake Papa Legba, a figure in Haitian Vodou. Specifically, Legba will have the power to let other Eternals speak to their late fellows in some sort of otherworldly realm. This will, in turn, lead to a powerful, but forgotten Eternal (maybe Zuras?) revealing to the main group the key to reviving members of their kind. Taking a cue from the 2021 comic series, it'll be the lives of mortal beings, sacrificed to the World Forge (or something similar to it created by Phastos) in exchange for a specific Eternal. Understandably, even though they'd very much like to have Ajak or Gilgamesh back, none of the group would be comfortable with this. Ultimately, a sole human ally of the group shall willingly sacrifice themself to bring back Gilgamesh in their time of need. Possibly Karun, as the group debating whether they should agree to such a thing would make for good drama.

[[WMG:Every group of perceived deities in the MCU are eternals who broke their cycle.]]
The Asgardians were amongst the first to do so and Asgard itself was a chunk of the celestial planet that survived. The Earth eternals were written into Greek and other mythologies just like the Norse did with Thor and co. so they will likely have a connection to Zeus as well as Gorr the God Butcher in Thor 4.

Remember:The snap didn't just delay Tiamut's awakening, it also delayed that of every single newborn Celestial in the universe. And if humans hadn't reversed the snap, many of those would likely have never emerged from their planets, putting the Celestials in danger of going extinct. It's a given that the snap rendered Eternals on other planets unable to help their species' numbers be restored under their own power as well. Arishem knows full well that destroying Earth won't bring Tiamut back, and in spite of his LackOfEmpathy, he's reasonable enough to see that Tiamut's death WAS worth it because the humans of Earth ensured the emergence of potentially tens of thousands of other Celestials.

Near the end of Titan's lifespan Thanos discovered that the increase of its population would lead to the hatching of the Celestial who lived inside it. That's why he suggested killing half of all people on his planet, knowing that keeping the population below a certain level would keep the Celestial from having enough energy to hatch. After seeing Titan destroyed, he assumed the same must be true of all planets and set out to "save" them, and prevent the Celestials inside from having enough energy to hatch

In ''[[ComicBook/TheKangWar Kang Dynasty]]'', the Deviants were part of Kang's forces. Given how Kang's being built up as the BigBad of Phase Four, the Deviants can join him in his conquest after their battle with the Eternals. [[spoiler:And if not him, the Deviants can instead team up with another of He Who Remains's variants instead.]]
