The release ofCaptain America: Brave New Worldhas brought forward relevant information from the events ofEternals, but not in the way audiences might think.Seth Rollinshas revealed that his wife, WWE SuperstarBecky Lynch, was almost featured in the post-credits sequence from the blockbuster directed byChloé Zhao. During a recent appearance atNot Just Football, the former WWE Universal Champion talked about what was supposed to be Becky Lynch’s debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The conversation was centered around Rollins' own eliminated character from an MCU story,Captain America: Brave New World:
My wife [Becky Lynch] had a role in ‘Eternals’, she did a post-credit scene for the original ‘Eternals’ film. The ‘Eternals’ franchise was intended to be multiple films, and she was supposed to be involved in that, and they cut her too. They cut the whole family, man
Eternalsfollowed a group of powerful beings who were sent to Earth to protect a valuable asset for the Celestials. Characters such as Sersi (Gemma Chan), Ikaris (Richard Madden) and Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani) made their big screen debut in what was supposed to be Marvel Studio’s next big franchise. Unfortunately, the movie only earned $402 million at the global box office due to the pandemic and how it affected theatrical distribution and ticket sales. The characters fromEternalshave appeared inWhat If…?. But even if these heroes were seen in an animated Disney+ series, plans for a theatrical sequel to their journey are no longer a priority for Marvel Studios.
The actual post-credits scene fromEternalsfeatured the introduction ofHarry Stylesas Eros. The character was certain that he would be able to find Thena’s (Angelina Jolie) friends. But as confident as Eros felt about his quest, the narrative was never picked up again in a subsequent MCU project. Seth Rollins didn’t reveal anything about the role Becky Lynch played in her version of theEternalspost-credits sequence. But even if the WWE Superstar had appeared in the 2021 film, it’s likely that her character would’ve ended up in the same limbo Eros finds himself in.
Becky Lynch in the Entertainment Industry
Becky Lynch wasn’t featured inEternals, but the athlete has certainly left a mark in the entertainment industry thanks to other roles she has taken on over the years. Lynch portrayed Cindy Lauper inYoung Rock. The television series followed the early years ofDwayne Johnsonand how his family influenced his wrestling career. Becky Lynch has also appeared as herself inBillions,Weakest Link, and she will play a character inStar Trek: Starfleet Academy. The MCU has yet to welcome Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch to their ranks. But even if they haven’t stepped into a wold full of heroes, Rollins and Lynch are ready to continue to prove their talents both in and out of the ring.
Captain America: Brave New Worldis currently playing in theaters. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
