Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed Gemma Chan’s Sersi will be the main character of Chloe Zhao’s Eternals.
The films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have some incredible ensembles, and Eternals is among the most impressive to date with names like Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani, and Kit Harington. The upcoming film will also feature Captain Marvel star Gemma Chan as a new character in Sersi.
Despite Gemma Chan being a late addition to the film’s cast, as far as announcements are concerned, many have pointed to her being the film’s main character. While it sounds like Eternals will still be an ensemble piece like the Avengers films, Kevin Feige told Variety Sersi will be the lead of Chloe Zhao’s Marvel Studios picture:
“If there was a lead in this ensemble, it is Sersi, it is Gemma Chan.”
