Eternals introduces us to a lot of new characters, many of whom have the potential to hold their own in movies or TV shows outside of that team-up franchise. It's pretty obvious where Dane Whitman is heading, for example, but what about the immortal superheroes themselves?
The movie definitely sets the stage for what comes next, but one Eternals star who isn't interested in taking their character into a solo project is Angelina Jolie.
During a recent interview with CinePOP, the actress explained why she wants to keep Thena with her fellow heroes. "I loved being part of the family, so I have no desire to separate from the family," Jolie confirmed. "But I would be happy to play her again and explore even more deeply the struggles that she has. I think it’s fun thinking of where they’ve been over the years."
"We’ve got thousands of years worth of material. We can take her anywhere. I think that’s fun and I like the idea that we can pop up somewhere, maybe in other Marvel movies."
The potential of the Eternals moving forward is massive, and there's a good chance we will start seeing these characters show up both in other franchises and whenever Marvel Studios decides to further explore the MCU's history. After all, we know they've crossed paths with Thor and Odin, and with rumours about Hercules still swirling, who better for him to team up with than someone like Thena?
Eternals is now playing in theaters worldwide.
