Harry Styles has reportedly signed a five-film deal with Marvel Studios worth US$100 million ($160m) to play Eternal's character Eros.
The ex-One Direction singer, 28, is said to have been in talks with executives to play Thanos' brother, aka Starfox – the same character the singer teased at the end of 'The Eternals' last year.
Sources in Los Angeles told The Sun on Friday night the studio is optioning Harry for "as many as five projects".
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed Harry will feature in a movie alongside Eternals' Pip the Troll at last weekend's Comic Con in San Diego.
He has also revealed plans are already in place for two new phases of franchises and spin-offs of the comic book world.
"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.
"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 £40 million and higher for a long-term run.
"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."
It comes after Harry's film 'Don't Worry Darling', on the set of which he found love with director Olivia Wilde, 38, will premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September.
His romantic drama 'My Policeman' is set for a world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival the same month.
