Meanwhile, the following are some facts about Ikaris in the film Eternals (2021) made by Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that is interesting for you to know:
The first fact, the name Ikaris comes from Greek mythology, namely the figure of Icarus. As for Icarus, he is depicted as a man who has artificial wings made of bird feathers and wax. However, he experienced a tragic death because his wings melted when flying close to the sun.
Furthermore, this connection is referenced in the film when Sprite, one of the Eternals, mentions that the Icarus myth is based on Ikaris.
In fact, you will also find the same incident in the film, where Ikaris' death is also related to the sun.
If you notice, Ikaris' abilities are similar to Superman's, where both can fly and project energy from their eyes.
In the film itself, Ikaris was called Superman by Phastos' adopted son, who is also a member of the Eternals. However, Ikaris firmly denied it by saying "he doesn't wear a coat".
Meanwhile, the character of Ikaris is played by a famous actor who successfully played the role of Robb Stark in the Game of Thrones series. Meanwhile, Richard's performance as Ikaris has received much praise for successfully portraying a dashing and heroic figure.
What's interesting about this fact is that Richard Madden is often said to resemble another actor who also plays a role in the MCU, namely Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes.
With his strong charisma and leadership abilities, Ikaris often takes over strategic roles in the group's missions to protect humanity from the Deviants.
Because of this, Ikaris is often referred to as the unofficial leader of the Eternals in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In the film, Ikaris has a romantic relationship with another Eternals member named Sersi played by Gemma Chan. Furthermore, their love story has lasted for thousands of years and decided to marry with ancient traditions.
However, Ikaris decides to leave Sersi for no apparent reason and reunites when the Deviants begin attacking humanity again.
Unfortunately, when Ikaris meets her again, Sersi is in a relationship with someone named Dane Whitman, played by Kit Harrington.
In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the Eternals are immortal beings who cannot age. They are god-like beings created by the Celestials to protect humanity from extinction caused by the Deviants.
Based on the above facts, Ikaris becomes an immortal being who will not die due to aging. However, some of them can die because a Deviant named Kro absorbs their power.
Ikaris became one of the reasons why the prime Eternals named Ajak was killed by the Deviants. At that time, Ajak told Ikaris her true mission, where humanity on earth would be extinct along with the emergence of a new Celestial named Tiamut.
Because of his love for the people of Earth, Ajak invites Ikaris to betray the mission and prevent the emergence of Tiamut.
However, Ikaris refused the invitation and decided to push Ajak into a place full of Deviants. As a result, Ajak was brutally attacked by a group of Deviants and Kro then absorbed her power until she died.
After Ajak's death, the position of Prime Eternals fell to Sersi, Ikaris' ex-lover. Just like Ajak, Sersi also disobeyed the mission.
Of course, this made Ikaris experience a moral conflict, where he had to choose between getting rid of his old lover or obeying the task of his creator.
After experiencing a moral conflict, Ikaris finally chooses his own path, which is to obey the main mission to let Tiamut be born and let humans on earth experience extinction.
However, the other members immediately opposed this and caused them to have to fight Ikaris who was also a member of the Eternals group.
On the other hand, Ikaris was once the dream of another Eternals member named Sprite. Even in the film, Sprite herself expressed her annoyance and jealousy towards Sersi.
For this reason, Sprite also supports Ikaris' decision to obey the Celestials' mission and fight against other members of the Eternals group.
Unfortunately, the mission to give birth to Tiamut on earth failed. Meanwhile, Ikaris finally submitted to Sersi's wishes to save all humans on earth from extinction.
As a feeling of regret, Ikaris finally flew towards the sun and ended his own life. If we look at it, this is very similar to the Greek mythology, Iccarus, who died because of being close to the sun.
After learning some facts about Ikaris, here is a brief summary of the Eternals film that was released in 2021.
Initially, they were created by one of the Celestials named Arishem with special abilities to protect the earth from the attacks of the Deviants. As for them, they are the Eternals consisting of Ikaris, Sersi, Thena, Ajak, Kingo, Phastos, Sprite, Gilgamesh, Druig, and Makkari.
Furthermore, their mission is to protect the extinction of humans on earth from Deviant attacks to prepare for the birth of a new Celestial named Tiamut.
For its birth, Tiamut needs the life energy of the existing planet, so that the earth will be destroyed. However, the mission is only known by the prime Eternals named Ajak
When the secret is revealed, Sersi, Makkari, Gilgamesh, Phastos, and Druig decide to save the earth. Meanwhile, Ikaris and Sprite choose to continue the mission as it should be. On the other hand, Kingo prefers to be neutral and does not support any party.
As a result, a massive conflict occurred between the Eternals which caused them to have to fight each other.
But in the end, the birth of Tiamut was thwarted by the Eternals by uniting their powers. Arishem, the creator, then gave sanctions to those who thwarted the mission.
