Did You Know: Ikaris, portrayed by Richard Madden in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), is one of the Eternals, a group of powerful cosmic beings created by the Celestials, and his character is deeply rooted in Jack Kirby's legendary comic book creations?

Ikaris is a central character in the MCU's "Eternals" (2021), directed by Chloé Zhao. In both the comics and the film, he possesses a range of extraordinary powers, including super strength, flight, energy manipulation, and immortality. Ikaris is a devoted protector of humanity and plays a key role in the Eternals' mission to safeguard Earth from external threats.

Jack Kirby, the legendary comic book artist and writer, co-created the Eternals along with writer Stan Lee in the 1970s. Kirby's vision for the Eternals was influenced by his fascination with ancient astronaut theories and mythology. Ikaris, as one of the central characters in the Eternals' lore, reflects Kirby's boundless creativity and imagination.

The introduction of Ikaris and the Eternals into the MCU expands the cosmic landscape of this cinematic universe and brings to life one of Jack Kirby's lesser-known but equally intriguing creations.
