Marvel’s ‘The Eternals’ Looking to Add Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek is the latest high-profile actress to circle Marvel’s ambitious ensemble superhero movie The Eternals. Hayek, who can recently be seen in films like The Hitman’s Bodyguard and How to Be a Latin Lover, is in talks to join The Eternals cast in an unknown role.



The Wrap reports that Hayek is in discussions to join the Eternals cast in a role that is being kept under wraps. If she were to board the film directed by Chloe Zhao, she would star opposite Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, and Kumail Nanjiani, all of whom play near-immortal ancient figures known as Eternals who must do battle with monsters created by cosmic beings called Celestials.

​
Based on the characters created by the legendary Jack Kirby in 1976, The Eternals follows “super-powered and near-immortal beings known as Eternals and a more monstrous off-shoot known as the Deviants that were created by the cosmic beings called Celestials.” The film will reportedly focus on the female Eternal known as Sersi, an outgoing Eternal “not afraid to move amongst humankind” who Jolie is in talks to play.

While there are no details on who Hayek would play, let’s speculate. The Latinx, Oscar-nominated actress is in the same age range as Jolie (props to The Eternals for freely casting women over 40), which points to her playing two of the five reported female roles in the film. One is Elysius, an artificially created being connected to the Titan’s supercomputer, and the other is Thena, a tough and smart warrior with the ability to manipulate cosmic energy to augment her life force. Hayek has not really done a blockbuster of this scope before, and could easily be drawn to the more physically demanding role, though Elysius seems to cater more toward the actress’ niche.

Zhao, who helmed the acclaimed indie film The Rider, is set to direct The Eternals, with a script from Matthew and Ryan Firpo. No release date has yet been set for The Eternals yet, but after Spider-Man: Far From Home hits theaters, we expect Marvel Studios to make an announcement about the future of its film line-up.

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an open field filled with possibilities. With Disney’s recent acquisition of 21st Century Fox complete, the question on everyone’s mind is “who’s coming to the MCU”?
One of the comic and movie franchises that has been on the rumor block is X-Men. With plenty of individual character choices from the X-Men group, coupled with the poor performing movie “Dark Phoenix”, Disney is starting to move some pieces around to reboot the franchise…or at least a few of its more popular characters.

We finally hear some news of one characters being developed for the MCU and possibly having a debut in Black Panther 2.
A source close to the studio confirmed to us that Nathalie Emmanuel from Game Of Thrones fame is being considered for the role of Storm.
Adding her role to the next Black Panther movie would be a smart move. It would also make a great, soft introduction to an X-Men franchise that needs a fresh start with some familiar faces.

Based on her Game Of Thrones role and past theater experience, it would make a strong choice.
We’ll keep you posted on any new developments regarding Nathalie Emmanueland the X-Men.
Let us know if you think she would make a good choice for Storm in the comments section!

I'm not super familiar with many outside of klaw, kilmonger and man ape aka "mbaku" in the film.

There was a period in the comics when black panther leaves wakanda to investigate a death in New York and a guy named Michael achebe who's from a neighboring country takes over wakanda in Panthers absence and almost starts a civil war in wakanda. Besides that I know panther just takes on a lot of other marvel villains like doom and mephisto and others who are more popular villains to other marvel heroes.
