According to a report by Variety, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is a cast member of Marvel Studios’ The Eternals.

With Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home now behind us, Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga has officially come to an and fans are excited to hear what the company has planned for the future of the MCU. Among the feature film projects reportedly being developed is a movie centered on The Eternals, the celestial superpowered beings created by Jack Kirby for Marvel Comics.

Rumors suggested Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown would be a cast member in The Eternals, though Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently stated there was no information to reveal on the matter. However, Variety’s report on Marvel Studios’ upcoming San Diego Comic-Con presentation includes Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown on the list of actors appearing in The Eternals, though no additional information was provided.

In the comics, the Eternals are a fictional evolutionary offshoot of humanity who possess superpowers and longer lifespans than normal humans. Created by the Celestials over a million years ago, the superpowered beings were the result of genetic experiments that led to the creation of two divergent races: The Eternals and The Deviants.

Often defending Earth from their monstrous counterparts, the Eternals became embroiled in a civil war amongst themselves over whether or not they should conquer the other races. One faction was led by Kronos and the other by his warlike brother named Uranos, with Kronos’ side ultimately winning the conflict while Uranos and his followers were exiled.

The Eternals will be directed by Chloe Zhao from a script written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo. The reported cast includes Salma Hayek, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, and Ma Dong-Seok.

Meanwhile, Millie Bobby Brown can now be seen in the third season of Netflix’s Stranger Things.
