‘Legion’s Dan Stevens To Seemingly Play Kro In Marvel Studios’ ‘Eternals’

It appears that Marvel Studios has kept some star casting a secret from the fans. During a recent interview, Legion star Dan Stevens hinted at the fact that he will be portraying the villain Kro in Chloé Zhao’s highly anticipated Eternals.

Kro was created by Jack Kirby and first appeared in 1976’s The Eternals #1. Often referred to as the Warlord Kro, he is the leader of the Deviants, an offshoot of humans that have battled the Eternals throughout history. Kro was the first Deviant to be created by the Celestials, and like others of his species, he possesses the ability to shape-shift and has superhuman attributes. In the comics, Kro has had an on and off relationship with the Eternal Thena and even fathered her children Donald and Deborah Ritter.
