Angelina Jolie is in talks to make her superhero debut in Marvel’s “The Eternals,” which focuses on a group of ancient human beings, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap.
“The Rider” director Chloe Zhao will direct the film. Matthew and Ryan Firpo (“Ruin”) are writing the script. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige is producing.
Jolie recently turned up at the premiere of Disney’s “Dumbo.” She previously starred in the studio’s “Maleficent” but has never before appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Created by comic legend Jack Kirby in 1976, the Eternals are a race of ancient human beings created a million years ago by the cosmic entities known as the Celestials.
