Thus, the Eternals almost always come back after their mortal engagements ... except, apparently, Sprite.

Thus, the fans must wait ... something Sprite, forever a child, has gotten very good at.

To be fair to the other Eternals, they can't help but treat him like a child much of the time, as he insists upon acting like one.

In 2019, it was announced that Lia McHugh would be playing a female Sprite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, debuting in Eternals (2021).

Cosmic Energy Projection: Sprite is able to project blasts of cosmic energy in the form of light, heat, or concussive force.

Saving that a character in the MCU is "powerful" can mean a lot of things. Spotting an atomic Deviant vessel speeding for the Celestial ship, Sprite chose to act by releasing the Forgotten One from his centuries of confinement to confront them.

The instigator of many of those shenanigans is bound to be Sprite, an Eternal with a unique set of skills and a wild history on the page.

Sprite will be in good hands with McHugh: She's already shown impressive acting chops in films like The Lodge and on the television series American Woman. He has superhuman strength, though because of his small size and childlike anatomy it is less than that of most Eternals.
