It's absolute slam dunk casting.

Man I thought she was like 50...at 43 she could be a long term player for marvel

It is also possible that Jolie, having a gaggle of children, might be interested in something her kids would like.  💁‍♂️ She wouldn't be the first actor cast in a Marvel Studios who used that as an excuse for taking the role.  Celine Dion said she only did Ashes because her son was a big Deadpool fan.

I don't love or hate this choice but it's a very interesting one, nonetheless. Makes me wonder if they plan to fill out the cast with lesser known actors or if they'll really go for it and cast a few more big names. Whatever the case, I hope to see at least one or two actors I like land a role in this. I'm curious to see what CZ comes up with but I need a little more to get me hyped for this movie.

I feel like she's almost certainly going to be a villain or an important, secondary character. The MCU rarely casts a huge name as the actual lead, preferring to go with established but lower tier (name/career wise) talent that they can build up with the brand. When they go for a legendary actor (Michael Keaton, Michael Douglas, Anthony Hopkins, Kurt Russell, Cate Blanchett), it's usually for a one shot role or an off-shoot to the main character.

When has a villain or a secondary character ever been the first to be cast though? We almost always get the star or one the stars of the movie first and right now, I think it's more likely that Jolie is playing one of the female leads. Plus, I'm not sure we should keep looking to history, particularly since Feige has been leaning towards hiring popular actors as of late. Now, neither Chadwick or Brie were huge names when they were cast but they were both in the spotlight at the time. And if Marvel really wants to sell Eternals as an epic of sorts, I can see them building the hype via casting. The next few names we hear should be really telling.

She is bisexual.  Hopefully this means the whole movie's gonna be Gay AF.  

Feige knew what he was doing casting Angela Bassett, Michelle Pfeiffer and Annette Bening in the new Marvel movies. We're this close to Michelle Yeoh in Shang-Chi and Cher in Doctor Strange 2

Yeoh was in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Jolie is such a BIG name that she could play the fifth or sixth most important character and still be the first one announced. It's what happens when you try and bring a megastar on board.

Only further proof on how Marvel's getting gayer and gayer

Sure but again, I can't think of many instances at all where the first person announced in any movie wasn't playing one of the leads. And I believe this movie has multiple female leads, yes? 

 

(Lucy Liu for Shang-Chi is highly possible, by the way.)

You jest, but I would pay him a million dollars for that.  Just add in Sarah Paulson, and I'd be dead.

Is it confirmed that she's playing a hero or the villain? Cause getting someone of Jolie's stature to sign a several movie deal would be a huge get.

I was wondering the same thing.

No studio that cares about parental alienation and abuse should ever hire Jolie. She should be blackballed by every decent parent and caring person.

 

I live for Deadline comments.

Speaking of which, Sarah Paulson needs to get her sweet talented ass into a CBM. I would sooo stan whatever superhero films she lands.

[ZattMurdock]

Angelina Jolie as Sersi.

 

WHAT IS THIS WORLD?!

 

 

Thank you, Zhao and Feige.

Ok, but what I meant was a superhero film based on an established comic book from DC or Marvel, and with Paulson in a lead superhero or supervillain role.
