With Marvel Studios currently at work on an Eternals movie, now comes word on a huge name potentially joining the project.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Oscar winner Angelina Jolie is in talks to headline the Chloe Zhao-directed Eternals. There are no solid details on who Jolie may be being lined up to play at this stage, although speculation suggests that the Girl, Interrupted actress could be in negotiations to play Sersi.

Created by the iconic Jack Kirby back in 1976, the Eternals comic book title was based around a race of age-old humans created by the alien Celestials with the plan being for these humans to serve as Earth’s protectors against the nefarious Deviants. The big-screen Eternals will reportedly be based around the Sersi character who is an energy-manipulating being who is pretty much immortal.

Expect more on The Eternals as it continues to develop as the MCU progresses further and further through the stars. Like so many upcoming MCU movies, it’s expected that more details on this project will be made public once the landscape-changing Avengers: Endgame his screens next month.
