With Eternals now on Disney Plus, MCU fans are revisiting the movie and examining it closely for any clues as to what the future may hold for the project. And a new theory has put forward an interesting idea for how it can connect to Moon Knight.
It’s all to do with that final scene featuring Dane Whitman, where he discovers the Ebony Blade before hearing an off-screen voice, which belongs to Blade. As ComicBook.com explains:
The Ebony Blade could lead to Moon Knight for a few separate reasons. First, the Oscar Isaac-led series is expected to dive head-first into ancient cultures, and the MacGuffin could make an appearance in one of the museums Marc Spector (Isaac) ventures through during the series.
More importantly, however, is that Marvel Studios seems to be organizing a horror-corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe or, at the very least, a team featuring some of the franchise’s darker characters. We saw that with Whitman (the Black Knight) and Blade, and perhaps the duo may end up appearing in Moon Knight.

Continuing on, they write:
The series may also serve as a launchpad for the Werewolf by Night Halloween special Marvel Studios is expected to begin filming sometime next month, a character that serves as a foundational building block of all things Marvel horror.
This is all pretty interesting to consider, to be sure, and you can re-examine Eternals for yourself if you’d like now that it’s streaming free of charge.
