Hot on the heels of Angelina Jolie reportedly being lined up to headline the effort, now comes word on another possible addition for Marvel Studios’ The Eternals.

Courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter, Silicon Valley’s Kumail Nanjiani is said to be in talks for an undisclosed role in the upcoming offering.

At this stage, details are still sketchy on The Eternals, with – much like so many impending MCU movies – more concrete information expected to be revealed once the landscape-altering Avengers: Endgame hits the big screen later this month.

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.

With Chloe Zhao on directing duties, expect more on The Eternals as it continues to develop.
