Harry Styles has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to reports.

The 27-year-old muscian-turned-actor will play Thanos’ brother Eros in future Marvel films, claims a reporter from Variety who attended the premiere of The Eternals in Los Angeles last night.

Eros is the youngest son of A’Lars and Sui-San who are two Eternals. He is described as “care free” and “womanising”.

Sharing the tip on Twitter, journalist Matt Donnelly wrote: “Big reveal from #TheEternals premiere — Harry Styles has joined the MCU as Eros, brother of Thanos.”

Former one Direction star Styles did not attend the star-studded event as he is currently in the middle of a tour in the US and was on the other side of the country in Cleeveland.
