Marvel is reportedly planning to get cameras rolling on The Eternals at some point this year, and following the huge news that Angelina Jolie has joined the project, THR reports that Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Silicon Valley) is also in negotiations to come aboard.

No details on his character have been provided, but the trades does seemingly confirm that Jolie will play Sersi, "a more outgoing Eternal who has not been afraid to move amongst humankind."

Nanjiani, who was nominated for an Oscar for co-writing The Big Sick with wife Emily Gordon, can next be seen in the first Twilight Zone episode from CBS All-Access, and then on the big screen in Sony’s Men in Black: International.

Did THR also confirm Jude Law was playing Mar-Vell? I can't remember.

Anyway if they get him for a role it would be a very interesting get. I wonder what he'll bring to the table depending on the character he's playing. Could be Makkaris, or Marvel could be going really weird (or off) and casting him as Ikaris. Or he could oddly be Hercules.

Not sure how I feel about Angie as Sersi. It could work but I might also be ageist saying I expected the role to go to someone younger. But I don't also see her being in a leading superhero movie lol. It seems so out of her comfort zone but I hope she sticks around and does her best.

Really don't like Jolie for Sersi, she would make a better Thena more than anything. She has never impressed me with her acting and Marvel has proven many times that they don't need an A-lister to sell there movies.

@CurlyBill - Well there is one group of people she did impress with her acting.
