It looks like Marvel’s The Eternals didn’t reveal their full cast back during their Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. It has been announced that Crazy Rich Asians actress, Gemma Chan, is in talks to join the cast.
If the deal goes as planned, Chan would join previously announced cast members Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek, and Kumail Nanjiani. Chan has already gotten a taste of the Marvel Cinematic Universe having played Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel. As of now, it’s unclear if she will be playing the same role or someone new. Reports are leaning toward it being a new character and, if true, would mark one of the first times a star will have played two different characters in the same cinematic universe.
The Eternals will be the 25th film in the MCU and it’s set to hit screens on November 6, 2020. Chloe Zhao is helming the project which is based on the comic book series created by Jack Kirby in 1976. The comic book is set millions of years in the past, when cosmic beings known as the Celestials genetically experimented on humans to create super-powered individuals known as The Eternals, along with the villainous Deviants.
