Before the final battle, however, as the Eternals squabble over how to deal with Tiamut, Kingo speaks up and announces that he has no desire to face off against Arishem.

But because he also has no desire to fight his friends either, he simply ups and exits the scene, sitting out the entire final battle in the process.

It's an amusing and genuinely surprising subversion of expectations, given that audiences were likely assuming Kingo would have a change of heart and return to help save the day.

Instead, he chills out elsewhere, only to reappear in one of the film's final scenes, being teleported into space by Arishem alongside Sersi and Phastos, where Arishem vows to return to "judge" their actions.
