Why Does Ikaris Kill Himself at the End of the ‘Eternals’ Movie?

In the end, Ikaris believes in the mission given to him by Arishem. But at the same time, he regrets having killed and hurt his loved ones for the sake of that mission. Lost between failing the Celestials and betraying his friends, he fulfills his namesake by flying too close to the sun, killing himself in the flames.

But given the nature of mass-produced Eternals, who’s to say another Ikaris isn’t floating around in the MCU?

Eternals is now available to stream on Disney Plus.
