Eternals has already been released in theatres throughout the world, introducing fans to a whole new perspective on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While the film introduces entirely new characters and perspectives on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. At the same time, the film was able to give answers to previous MCU occurrences. We’ve gained a whole new perspective on the world we’ve been watching and investigating thus far. At the same time, fans may have become perplexed while drawing their own conclusions based on hypotheses. After a fan attempted to draw the dots based on what transpired in the Eternals, James Gunn stressed that Peter Quill would not regain his celestial powers.

The notions that the Eternals attempted to introduce were ones that had already been exposed to us since we had our first Celestial in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1. The Eternals were able to shed some light on their existence and demonstrate how their planet operates. But that’s not all; the film also clarified who these so-called celestial beings in the MCU are and who they aren’t. A dive into this subject must have resulted in a slew of fresh speculations centred on characters that have been rumored to have celestial links.

At the end of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, we got a glimpse of Peter Quill’s Celestial powers when he was able to wield the Power Stone with his bare hands. While this was simply a suggestion, in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 we saw him explore his talents as the son of a Celestial. There, we saw him employ matter manipulation in his battle against his father Ego. This was the foundation of a notion proposed by ScreenRant.

According to the theory:

Peter Quill might have lost the powers that came along with his Celestial DNA when he killed his Celestial father to prevent his genocidal plan from coming to fruition, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still half-Celestial and unable to connect with the “light” that he draws his power from. Ego drew his “light” from his own planet, and as a half-human, half-Celestial being, it would make sense if Quill draws his “light” from Earth. In fact, being back on Earth and getting in touch with that “light” might bring his Celestial powers back.

James Gunn’s Response To The Theory:

James Gunn recently resorted to Twitter to answer fan inquiries about Peter Quill after the Celestials appeared in Eternals. @Attitudist anticipated that this film would provide an opportunity to showcase Star-genuine Lord’s potential. Gunn, on the other hand, shattered these hopes with a Tweet in which he stated:

“He gave all that up.”

This was not all, as another fan brought up the hypothesis proposed by ScreenRant. There has been a huge Easter Egg about Peter’s mother, Meredith Quill, being a humanoid version of Eternity. This was thought to be the missing Easter Egg that fans have been hunting for since the first Guardians of the Galaxy film was released. If this were true, Peter would be the son of Eternity, which would imply that there is a potential that we may see Peter Quill’s celestial abilities again. But James Gunn shot down @tabali_tigi’s hypothesis, saying:

“He was seeing eternal life, not Eternity the Marvel comics being. He turned that down to save earth & his fellow Guardians.”

The theory suggests that there are no ties between Eternity from the comics and Peter Quill:

This implies there are no links between Eternity from the comics and Peter Quill, thereby cancelling one of the avenues via which Star-Lord could have demonstrated his real ability. Fans may think this is a prank, but James Gunn is renowned for being really open and honest with his fans on social media. Peter Quill’s powers vanished after he murdered his father, and that was the last time we saw them. Are you disappointed that Peter Quill will not regain his Celestial abilities and that he is not Eternity’s son? Or do you believe James Gunn lied about this?
