Kumail Nanjiani, known for his work on The Big Sick and Silicon Valley, is reportedly in talks to star in Marvel’s The Eternals.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Nanjiani is in negotiations to star alongside Angelina Jolie in this cosmic adaptation that centers around super-powered aliens and their monstrous offshoots. The Eternals is allegedly one of two films that Marvel is getting ready to film this year, the second of which is possibly the long-gestating solo Black Widow film.
While there’s currently no word on who Nanjiani will play, many anticipate that Jolie will star as Sersi, an Eternal who often lives among mortals and partakes in important historical events.
