quietly organizing itself for the imminent rollout of “Phase IV” of the MCU, which will begin this summer with Spider-Man: Far From Home. Another project on the upcoming MCU slate that has appeared out of left field is The Eternals, a film about a secret race of superpowered beings that created by the Celestials to have exceptionally long lives.

The Eternals has been dropping some casting news as well as character hints for the last few weeks, with the biggest announcement that Angelina Jolie will be starring in the film. There previously has been a lot of speculation about who Jolie’s mystery MCU character would turn out to be. And now it seems that we have confirmation that Angelina Jolie is indeed playing the role of Sersi!

The Hollywood Reporter dropped this exclusive news that the Big Sick star Kumail Nanjiani is joining The Eternals, and even buried in that report was this little mention:

“Angelina Jolie is understood to be playing the character named Sersi, a more outgoing Eternal who hasn’t been afraid to movie amongst humankind.”

For those unfamiliar, Sersi is an Eternal of the 4th generation (that confusing lineage is a whole other story). She was born in Olympia, Greece, in the ancient world of Earth after the fall of Lemuria and Atlantis. She’s distinct from her fellow Eternals since she actually enjoys being around humanity. Eventually, Sersi leaves the hidden city of The Eternals and goes to live amongst mankind.

In the comics, Marvel has since used Sersi’s virtually-immortal lifetime as a vehicle for having the character be tied to key points in history, such as the inspiration for the part of Homer’s “The Odyssey;” sealing the evil demons trapped in the Pandora’s Box; key incidents in Rome, Camelot and other such historical periods tied to both human development and Marvel’s superheroes. In the modern age, Sersi has joined The Avengers. And she eventually fell in love with Dane Whitman, the Black Knight. She’d also go through a major period where her mind and powers were dangerously unstable, making her a threat to the team as much as an asset. Ultimately she would kill herself along with rest of the Eternals, upon learning from the arrival of the Dark Celestials that The Eternals weren’t created to be humanity’s protectors, but instead the Celestials tool for harvesting humanity’s genetic potential.

In addition to the enhanced strength, flight, reflexes, intelligence, and durability of an Eternal, Sersi has cultivated her power of transmutation, able to rearrange the molecular structures better than any other Eternal before her. She has often masked this power as sorcery or illusion casting (depending on the era), but her power is virtually limitless.

Angelina Jolie as Sersi, a powerful woman who is wise from centuries of lifetimes lived amongst humanity sound pretty spot-on for the actress. No doubt die-hard Marvel fans are curious to see if Jolie would also some with the Sersi’s signature talent for dance, perfect over centuries of practice.

Avengers: Infinity War is available on Netflix while Captain Marvel is in theaters now. Avengers: Endgame hits theaters on April 26, and Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 5.
