The Marvel Universe is reportedly about to land one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Angelina Jolie.
The Oscar-winner is said to be in talks to join The Eternals, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
No details were given on the role Jolie will play and the actress has yet to comment on the news. But one aspect of the story is said to be a romance between characters Ikaris, who is a man powered by ‘cosmic energy’ and Sersi, who, ‘relishes moving among the humans,’ The Guardian reports.
The Eternals was created by Jack Kirby in 1976 and the film adaptation will be directed by Chloe Zhao, according to THR.
Jolie’s next film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil is being released by Marvel’s parent studio, Disney.
