The MCU Phase 4 and 5 have faced criticism for not doing much with its newly introduced characters, but a fun Easter Egg helps rectify that.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary After almost two years of relative silence, it looks like the MCU is finally ready to start acknowledging The Eternals' hidden history in the timeline, with a subtle nod to the team's existence in Loki season 2, episode 2. Eternals opened to mixed reviews in November 2021, setting up multiple storylines to explore, yet the team has been largely ignored ever since, except for one or two very well-hidden Easter eggs.
Directed by Chloé Zao, Eternals was an ambitious project that spanned across centuries. It set up a number of storylines that seemed crucial to the future of the MCU, including Tiamut the Celestial being left frozen and exposed in the middle of the ocean. Apart from a passing reference to Tiamut in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, these stories have been left untouched.
Loki's Eternals Reference Explained Loki season 2, episode 2 features a number of Easter eggs, but with the time-traveling focus of the series, it was the perfect moment to acknowledge a group of immortal beings, even if it was a subtle reminder. As Loki and Mobius walk through London’s West End in 1977 to confront X5/Brad Wolfe, they walk past some movie posters, including one featuring the likeness of Eternals hero, Kingo.
How Kingo Is Around in Loki's 1977 It's not the first time the MCU has provided a knowing nod to Kingo and his acting career, with the charismatic superhero previously featured in The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. The short film’s major focus is on Drax the Destroyer and Mantis as they look to bring Kevin Bacon to Star-Lord as his Christmas gift. As the duo seeks out the Hollywood actor they pass a couple of posters for Kingo's movies.
