According to a new report, Game of Thrones and Bodyguard star Richard Madden is in talks to Marvel’s upcoming film adaptation of The Eternals. If cast, he will star alongside the previously cast Angelina Jolie and Kumail Nanjiani.
There are no details on who Madden will play in the film, but there is a list of characters that you can see here, who are rumored to be appearing in the movie. A few of the characters he could be up for are Karen, Hercules, Ikaris.
The Eternals was created by the legendary Jack Kirby, and the story is set millions of years ago “when the cosmic beings known as the Celestials genetically experimented on humans, creating the super-powered individuals as well as more villainous off-shoots known as the Deviants.” Those two groups went on to battle each other throughout history to see which would eventually become the ultimate race.
The story is said to focus on the female Eternal known as Sersi, who will most likely be played by Jolie.
Chloe Zhao (The Rider) is directing the film from a script written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo. The studio is preparing to start shooting the film this year.
