Eternals, from Marvel Studios, has steadily grown in popularity as one of the most anticipated films of 2021, thanks in part to its stellar all-star cast. The ability of Marvel to recruit Angelina Jolie was, of course, the biggest draw. Because Angelina Jolie is a Hollywood star, this superhero film could have easily become The Angelina Jolie Show. However, Kumail Nanjiani claims that this did not happen during the Phase Four filming. The actor discussed what it was like to work on Eternals with Angelina Jolie.
Angelina Jolie has a mysterious aura on the outside, but according to her Eternals co-star Kumail Nanjiani, that persona is far from the truth. According to Nanjiani, working with the screen icon was "fun and light." He revealed how at ease the Oscar winner was around her co-stars on set, saying: “Angie, she would not go back to her trailer. She always hung out on set. She was always with everyone. So, I realized what you do on camera is only part of the job. Salma was the one who would always have dinners and people over. So much of it is how you are with people. You create a community, you create a family, you create a group. And both of them, they go on camera, they are movie stars. They are fantastic in the movie.”
