Marvel Studios officially confirms who will star in their Phase 4 movie Eternals. As details of what could be in store for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers: Endgame started to emerge last year, one of the surprising inclusions was The Eternals. In the comics, The Eternals are a group of incredibly powered humans created by Celestials and were created by Jack Kirby. The reason for the surprise over their introduction in the MCU was a result of how little-known the property and the characters are.
That is sure to change now that Eternals will be one of the first films to come out in Phase 4 of the MCU. Marvel hired Chloe Zhao to direct the movie last year, but everything else about the project has been relatively quiet. This is changing now that the movie is confirmed, and that includes Marvel announcing who will star after months of rumors.
During their Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Studios confirmed the impressive cast list for The Eternals. The cast list includes those previously linked to the project and some new surprises: Salma Hayek as the team's leader, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Don Lee as Gigamesh, Angelina Jolie as Thena, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Lia McHugh, and Kumail Nanjiani.
