Marvel is reportedly planning to get cameras rolling on
The Eternals at some point this year, and following the news that Angelina Jolie and
Kumail Nanjiani have signed on for key roles, The Wrap is reporting that Korean actor Ma Dong-seok (
Train To Busan, The Outlaws) will make his American film debut in the cosmic superhero flick.
As is usually the case, details on his role are being kept under wraps. Jolie is believed to be playing Sersi, however.
In related news,
That Hashtag Show has heard that Marvel and director Chloe Zhao are specifically looking for an openly gay/bisexual Asian actor in his twenties to play "James." Although that's most likely not the character's real name, he's described as “intellectual, emotional, and has a strong sense of family.” Apparently,
How To Get Away With Murder actor Conrad Ricamora is being eyed for the part.
The Eternals hasn't been given an official release date yet.
