The Eternals was a whiff of fresh air in the complex world of superheroes. An interesting tale, it nonetheless received mixed reviews after its release and now lies among the lowest-grossing films of Marvel. However, the film late became one of the most streamed ones in the next year. Even though the film failed to make its mark at the box office, Angelina Jolie does not wish to depart from the Marvel family.
In The Eternals, Angelina Jolie plays the superhero Thena, having the unique ability to conjure numerous weapons out of nowhere. Despite the ill-reception of the film, fans were delighted to see the star finally play a superhero, a feat many had been waiting for years to witness. In an interview for Brazilian outlet CinePop, the Maleficent actress remarked,
“I loved being part of the family, so I have no desire to separate from the family.”
While there have been no reports of a sequel to the film, Jolie went ahead to remark she wouldn’t want a solo Thena movie but would rather stay with the whole Eternals family.

“I would be happy to play her again and explore even more deeply the struggles that she has. I think it’s fun thinking of where they’ve been over the years. We’ve got thousands of years worth of material. We can take her anywhere.”
The Tourist star also stated that perhaps the Eternals can also gate-crash other Marvel storylines.
