Rumor: Marvel Looking At Salma Hayek For A Role In The Eternals

Whilst officially it still doesn’t exist, we know well enough that one of the two Marvel movies we expect to see in 2020 is The Eternals, along with Black Widow as the other. Black Widow is filming now and it is expected The Eternals will begin soon afterward. So far we are starting to hear lots of casting rumors for this movie and some big names have been mentioned as in the running, from Angelina Jolie to Keanu Reeves, no less. However, until Marvel actually announces this movie exists we may not hear about any official casting decisions, even though we are pretty certain Richard Madden and Kumail Nanjiani have signed on already.

In the meantime, how about some more casting rumors? According to TheWrap, Marvel is eyeing Salma Hayek for a role in The Eternals. As to what that role may be, well that’s not clear at all and the outlet who broke the story had no news on that front. It’s hard to have an opinion on the casting rumor without knowing what role she is to play, unfortunately. I also must confess that my knowledge of The Eternals comes primarily from online reading which began when we heard Marvel was developing them into a movie. Whereas I usually have that old comic knowledge of most of the Marvel character roster, I just never came across any Eternals books as a child.

I’d hazard a guess that if the likes of Jolie or Reeves were involved then they would be one and done type deals, whereas the likes of Madden and Nanjiani you can imagine signing up for multi-film deals. However, this is really nothing more than guesswork, so who knows until Marvel gives us a glimpse at the cast at a future date. As for Hayek, well I have good and bad memories depending on the movies she has been involved with and that usually points to someone being a great actor that occasionally chooses the wrong movies to perform in. I’m sure if she is selected for The Eternals then she will be the right person for the job, because Marvel’s casting process has always been rock solid to date.
