Richard Madden and Angelina Jolie couldn't seem to contain their giggles as they attended the photocall for their new movie Eternals in Rome on Sunday.Hitting the red carpet at the city's 16th Film Festival, the Bodyguard actor, 35, certainly put on a tactile display with the Maleficent star, 46.Placing a tender hand around the actress's svelte waist, Richard looked ever-suave in a black suit while his co-star oozed glamour in an onyx asymmetrical maxi dress.Angelina has been linked to both The Weeknd and her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller in recent months.Angelina recently revealed the diversity in the Eternals cast is 'how it always should have been.' The actress - who plays Thena in the upcoming Marvel blockbuster - appears as part of a superhero ensemble featuring queer characters, people of color and deaf actress Lauren Ridloff. 'What's really quite stunning is that when we walked out all of us together, it didn't feel like: "This is so new and cool," it felt like: "This is how it always should have been." Why did it take so long? It felt so right,' she told Variety:Jolie was asked why she feels it takes so long, and while she has 'many things' to say on the subject, she focused on the idea that people should watch the film without actually focusing on its 'diversity.'She added: 'I could say many things, and I could go on for a while, but I think...it is so good to just bust a hole right in that...'The Mr. and Mrs. Smith star argued: 'What I hope is that when people watch this film, they're not seeing it and saying: "Oh, this is a film about diversity. This is a film that shows this person can be a superhero."' Angelina added: 'They'll just say: "Well of course that person's a superhero, and of course that person also is. Of course."' 'And more shame on us for every questioning that they couldn't be because: "Of course."'Eternals - which is set to hit the big screen next month - is written and directed by Nomadland filmmaker Chloe Zhao.Eternals follows a race of immortal beings with superhuman powers who are secretly living on Earth.As well as starring Richard, Kit Harington and Don Lee, the movie will see Angelina, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan and Lauren Ridloff appear as superheroes too. Angelina told Extra that her kids don't talk much about her Marvel character.'I think they just find me funny,' she said, adding, 'I think someone said the other day, "Isn’t it amazing you can like fly a plane and do all the stuff at the U.N. and you can be in a Marvel movie, but you can’t make eggs?"' Eternals will be released in U.S. and UK theatres on November 5, 2021.
