Marvel’s Eternals, one of the most anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), has brought two Hollywood icons together on screen: Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek. The duo, who play pivotal roles in the superhero ensemble, are captivating audiences with their on-screen chemistry and powerful performances.
In the film, Jolie plays Thena, a fierce warrior with centuries of battle experience, while Hayek portrays Ajak, the wise and spiritual leader of the Eternals. The two characters, as well as their portrayals, have quickly become fan favorites, adding to the allure of Marvel’s expanding universe. The new trailers showcase their dynamic partnership, with intense action scenes, moments of vulnerability, and a shared mission to protect humanity.
Fans were excited to see such diversity in a Marvel film, with Jolie herself noting in interviews how long overdue it was for the MCU to embrace this kind of representation. The film features a globally diverse cast, including actors from various backgrounds, and addresses cultural issues that haven’t been previously explored in Marvel films.
Off-screen, the bond between Jolie and Hayek has been making headlines, with Hayek calling Jolie her “soul sister.” Their friendship deepened during the filming of Eternals, and the two stars have been vocal about their admiration for each other. In a candid interview, Jolie revealed how Hayek’s support helped her through the rigorous training process required for the film’s action sequences, saying she felt “a little nuts” at times during the intense preparation.
The release of Eternals has not been without controversy, however. Jolie took a strong stance against the film being banned in certain countries due to its LGBTQ+ characters. She condemned the decision as “ignorant,” stating that she is proud to be part of a film that champions inclusivity and representation.
With stunning visuals, an all-star cast, and a fresh take on the superhero genre, Eternals is poised to become another massive success for Marvel. As fans eagerly await its release, the partnership between Jolie and Hayek is already proving to be a highlight, both on and off the screen.
