ETERNALS Star Gemma Chan Teases Sersi Role As The Hero's Superpowers Are Revealed

Eternals has assembled an amazing cast, but Gemma Chan has proved to be one of the movie's most surprising additions. Not long after wrapping work on Captain Marvel - where she played Minn-Erva - the actress was added to the ensemble, albeit as a completely different character. 

While Minn-Erva and Sersi are different enough that it shouldn't matter, it's created a lot of discussion (and theories) online. All we really know about Sersi is that she'll be romantically involved with Kit Harington's Dane Whitman, but Vanity Fair has now shared a few new details in a profile on Chan.

Apparently, we can expect Sersi to be "an alien furnished with all the best superpowers - telepathy, telekinesis, superhuman strength." 

That's a formidable set of abilities, but what made Chan want to get involved with Eternals? "She’s the most human-loving of all the Eternals, and she really appealed to me," the actress said, admitting that there's not a lot she can say about her character. "She’s incredibly empathetic."

We don't actually know when we'll get a first look at Eternals, but some action figures recently leaked online which revealed shots of most of the team. They look awesome, and it's clear that this history-spanning adventure is going to be unlike anything we've ever seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
