Marvel's "Eternals" set photos reveal Chinese actress Gemma Chan's modern look

Chinese-American actress Gemma Chan appeared on the set of Marvel's new film "Eternals". She will play an important role, Sersi, in the film. She is also the first actor in the MCU universe to play two main roles. "Eternals" will be released in North America on November 6, 2020.

The "Eternals" comics tell the story of millions of years ago, when cosmic creatures known as "Celestials" created the Eternals and Deviants with super powers through genetic experiments, and the two groups have been fighting each other.

The film is considered an important work in the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is directed by Chinese director Zhao Ting (The Rider) and stars Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Korean tough guy Ma Dongseok from Train to Busan, and comedy actor Kumail Nanjiani from Silicon Valley.

Kit Harington, who plays "Jon Snow" in "Game of Thrones", and Richard Madden, who plays "Young Wolf", will "reunite as brothers" in "Eternals". British actress Gemma Chan from "Captain Marvel" will join the cast to play the important role of Cersei (not from "Game of Thrones"), unlocking the achievement of playing two MCU characters by one person.
