Harry Styles 'signs epic five movie deal with Marvel Studios worth $100 million to play Eternal's character Eros' | The Sun

HARRY Styles' career is set to go intergalactic thanks to an epic five movie deal with Marvel Studios, which could net him over $100million, a source has claimed.

Marvel insiders told The Sun that the chart topper has deals in place which could lock him into their movie world for at least five films.


Harry will reportedly appear in projects as Eros, aka Starfox – the brother of Thanos – the same character that the singer teased at the end of The Eternals movie last year.

LA sources claim that the studio is optioning the former One Direction singer for "as many as five projects".

This could mean that, if his screen adventures prove box office successes, his pay package with profit bonuses could be as much as $100m – around £84 million.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed Styles will feature in a movie alongside Eternals' Pip the Troll at last weekend's Comic Con in San Diego.

"For Harry and his handlers, it was all about whether the project and the feel of the movie being right.

"Following several secret calls and discussions the deal has been struck.

"And the surprise is that their deals pave the way for Harry to do as many as five projects for Marvel, which could see him as Starfox for 15 years.

"Feige and his team are delighted with the development.

"With his two new movies out this year, the talk is that Harry will become one of Hollywood's most in demand leading men."

"With his two new movies out this year, the talk is that Harry will become one of Hollywood's most in demand leading men.

"And certainly for Harry the deal is enormous. Certainly the money on the table for him to appear in a Starfox solo film would be astronomical – pun intended. And of course with each film, the wages rise.

"So should he keep playing the role for five projects, it is no understatement to say he could be looking at £40m and higher for a long term run.

HIGH EARNER

"Nowadays leading stars in these films get profit share percentages too, the way that these Marvel films have performed and the loyal fan base that Harry commands, we are talking about very significant income figures."

In an interview with MTV News, Feige confirmed Styles would be featuring in Marvel's future plans.

He said: "Yes. The adventures of Eros and Pip is something that is very exciting for us."

Styles made his Marvel debut at the end of Chloé Zhao's Eternals as Eros, the Titan-born brother of the infamous Thanos.

'FUN-LOVING WOMANISER'

Eros is the youngest son of two Eternals A'Lars and Sui-San. 

Originally named Eron, he was rechristened Eros at the age of five, given his interest in the opposite sex.

Eros grew up to be a fun-loving, carefree womaniser in contrast to his brother Thanos, a power-hungry, misanthropic schemer

Eros has used, both accidentally and unintentionally, his abilities to coerce women into falling in love with him.

The comic character also holds the psychic ability to control the powers of others.

Styles is already on course for a mammoth 2022 in cinema.
