Eternals Star Teases Future Sprite Storylines After Human Transformation
Eternals star Lia McHugh is as curious as everyone else about Sprite's future storylines, though she has plenty of thoughts.

Finally, Sprite was left by herself on Earth. For thousands of years, she had remained childlike in her appearance, but Sersi turned her into a human so she could age, just as she has always wanted. This leaves numerous possibilities for Sprite's future.
