Eternals: New Action Figure Leaks Tease Angelina Jolie's Role in Movie

       In a perfect world, Chloe Zhao's Eternals would have already been released; and the same goes for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Before Hollywood ground to halt earlier this year, Marvel Studios and the Disney marketing machine were already gearing up for any regular year with movies, shows, consumer products, and all. Earlier this year, we started getting additional looks at Falcon and the Winter Soldier due to the show's various merchandising assets popping up online. Now, we're in a similar boat with Eternals and Hasbro's wildly popular Marvel Legends line.More packaging of the Eternals-centric wave has surfaced online, giving fans at least a slight look at the characterization of Thena, the Eternals character played by Angelina Jolie. With Gilgamesh serving as the wave's Build-A-Figure, it's revealed on the packaging he and Thena are "de-facto partners." "Gilgamesh, o mais forte e bondoso dos Eternos, e Thena tornaram-se um casal após certos eventos do passado os separarem dos outros Eternos.
       "The strongest and kindest Eternal, Gilgamesh becomes Thena's de-facto partner when the events of the past exile them from the other Eternals," the figure's description reads. In addition to the six-piece Build-A-Figure. Ikaris (Richard Madden), Makkari (Lauren Ridloff), Sprite (Lia McHugh), Sersi (Gemma Chan), Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry), Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), and Druig (Barry Keoghan) are the other figures included. Earlier in the year, we also saw a standalone figure of Salma Hayek's Ajak, with a massive headpiece and all. Coincidentally enough, Chan's character in Eternals is the second Marvel role she's played in as many movies. She previously played Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel before being killed off. “My character dies in [Captain Marvel], so I thought there was no chance that I would really be coming back, which I was a bit bummed about,” Chan previously said of her Marvel return. “But then I encountered [Marvel Studios boss] Kevin Feige during the awards circuit for Crazy Rich Asians and out of the blue, he just came up and said, ‘We'd love to have you back. We’d love to make better use of you. We want you to do something else, so let’s find that project.’ But, to be honest, I had no idea that it would be so soon.”

Eternals is currently set for release on November 5, 2021.

Angelina Jolie 'Livid' With Gal Gadot Over 'Cleopatra' Role?

         Was Angelina Jolie “livid” with Gal Gadot because she’d “stolen” the role of Cleopatra? A tabloid reported that Jolie felt like Gadot had ruined her “dream” of playing the legendary Egyptian queen. Gossip Cop looked into the report and can add our own insight. Angelina Jolie Versus Gal Gadot? The National Enquirer claimed Angelina Jolie was bent way out of shape over the news that Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot had been tapped to play Cleopatra in an upcoming film directed by Patty Jenkins, who also helmed Wonder Woman. Jolie, the tabloid posited, was positively “livid” that Gadot had swooped in underneath her and “stolen” the iconic role that Elizabeth Taylor had made famous. “Angie’s dream was to play Cleopatra, the role that made Elizabeth Taylor an icon,” a source revealed. Jolie has been attached to a Cleopatra movie for nearly 10 years now, and has spoken over the years about her desire to play the Egyptian ruler. All those years have now gone to waste, the source told the tabloid, and Jolie knows just who to blame. It was going to be the part that won Angie an Academy Award for Best Actress, and now that’s over thanks to Gal, who will be playing the Queen of the Nile instead.   “Angie is insulted and upset,” the source continued. “She feels she was born to play Cleopatra and it was no secret that she’d been working on the script and meeting with top directors for the project for years.” All that bitterness and resentment has allegedly found itself a target in Gal Gadot, the tipster ominously concluded.Let’s just say Gal better not run into Angelina any time soon without a Roman general like Mark Antony to protect her!
         How very convenient for the tabloid that the person Angelina Jolie was supposedly so “livid” with was also an A-list actress. The story would have been a bit harder to sell if the target of Jolie’s ire had been someone relatively less well-known, like the upcoming Cleopatra film’s director, Patty Jenkins. Though it can be argued that she’s just as guilty of “stealing” the Cleopatra film as Gal Gadot, the outlet strangely chose not to mention her at all. It’s likely a huge disappointment to Jolie that her Cleopatra film never got its day in the sun, but it seems very unrealistic that she’d be furious with Gal Gadot of all people over it. Jolie has been trying to get her film off the ground for almost a decade now, and a lot has changed in Jolie’s life since she first confirmed she wanted to play the Queen of the Nile. Besides, there can be more than one Cleopatra movie, which means Jolie still has a shot at the iconic role. This outlet probably just wanted to exploit the new film’s announcement in order to entice readers. This is far from the first time a tabloid has used Jolie’s well-publicized desire to play Cleopatra as evidence of a feud between herself and another A-list celebrity. Last year, two of the Enquirer’s sister outlets, OK! and Star, both claimed Jolie was battling with Lady Gaga after rumors emerged that the A Star Is Born actress was in the running to star as Cleopatra. The latter publication later insisted that Bradley Cooper would star in the film as well. Both accounts were entirely false, Gossip Cop found. Clearly, tabloids aren’t the place to go for casting news.

         David Oyelowo revealed his children enjoy play dates with his Come Away co-star Angelina Jolie's kids at her home.The actor, 44, shares three sons and one daughter with his wife Jessica, and he revealed on The One Show on Wednesday evening that they often hang out with the actress' six kids and 'tear her house to shreds'.David explained: 'We met at a birthday party several years ago and we got talking exactly about that, she's got six kids and I have four, and you know that's a lot of kids to parent so we really bonded over those discussions.'We had these play dates, ten children running around tearing her house to shreds, but I saw a side of her you rarely get to see on film.'So when this script came my way I shared it with her and thankfully she was open to letting the world see this side of her, the side that is a mother.'Angelina shares children Zahara Marley, 15, and sons Maddox Chivan, 19, Pax Thien, 16, John, 14, twins Vivienne and Knox Léon, 12, with ex Brad Pitt.Going on to talk about their film, David reflected on how trolls have given negative reviews online over their anger that Peter Pan and Alice In Wonderland are played by black actors.The Midnight Sky star claimed he wasn't surprised by the racist incident, as he said: 'Unfortunately its not shocking for me because so many stories I try to be a part of telling is trying to move the conversation forward.'I always try to support stories that show people of colour in ways they wouldn't traditionally get to be seen, a film like A United Kingdom where you see the heir to Botswana marrying a white woman in the 40s and going on to be a transcendent leader for their nation.That film got so many racist comments on our Facebook page, we had to take it down. You see what John Boyega has to deal with for playing a black stormtrooper in Star Wars.'Even my friend Ava Duvernay's film A Wrinkle In Time you know she had to deal with review bombing as well.' Detailing his determination to continue in the face of such reaction, he added: 'For me progress is inexorable, you can't stop it and my goal is to normalise these kinds of stories, especially those that are universally appealing to everyone. 'If they are appealing to all of humanity then I believe all of humanity should be reflected within those stories.'
