Marvel\u2019s First Openly Gay Superhero (in \u2018The Eternals\u2019) Won\u2019t Be Played by Richard Madden, But By This Actor\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n

[SPOILERS] Much has been discussed and rumored in recent months about Marvel\u2019s upcoming film The Eternals<\/em>, where it will debut the MCU\u2019s first gay<\/a> superhero. There have been varying reports on who that might be, and most rumors have pegged<\/a> Richard Madden\u2019s character Ikaris as the one.<\/p>\n

But that appears not to be the case. Reports are emerging that Eternals<\/em> footage screened at at CCXP 2019 reveals Brian Tyree Henry\u2019s character Phastos to be gay<\/a>, and in the clip holding hands with a male<\/a> partner and two kids.<\/p>\n

We Got This Covered writes<\/a>: \u201cA user on Box Office Theory says they were in attendance and writes of a brief clip featured in the trailer exclusive to the convention which revealed Phastos, as played by Brian Tyree Henry, holding hands with a male<\/a> partner, with the pair accompanied by two kids. We\u2019ve been told to expect\u00a0Eternals\u2019\u00a0<\/em>gay<\/a> character to\u00a0have a husband and children<\/a>\u00a0in the movie, too, so if we can trust this info, it seems to solve the mystery of who it is. The rest of the description shared by the forum user matches up with everything else that\u2019s been said about the footage from others who saw it as well. However, this is the only time we\u2019ve heard about the revelation concerning Phastos. It was previously believed that\u00a0Ikaris was the married character<\/a>, though this is definitely not the case, as the CCXP footage confirmed that Richard Madden\u2019s hero was in a relationship with Sersi (Gemma Chan).\u201d<\/p>\n

Descriptions on Reddit<\/a> back up this report. Here\u2019s the posting on Box Office Theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n
