Game of Thrones and Bodyguard star Richard Madden is in talks to star in Marvel's Eternals.
Angelina Jolie and Kumail Nanjiani are also signed up, though Marvel hasn't commented on the casting.
If true, Madden will play Ikaris, a member of the human offshoot race known as the Eternals.
Created by Jack Kirby in 1976 Eternals is set millions of years in the past when the Celestials genetically experimented on humans, creating the super-powered and near-immortal beings and a more villainous off-shoot known as the Deviants.
The two races moved behind the scenes throughout human history.
Madden is also set to star as Elton John’s manager in the upcoming Rocketman film, set for release later this month on May 22.
The Eternals is set to fit into Phase 4 of Marvel's universe, post-Endgame.
Chloe Zhao's set to direct the film, working from a script by Matthew K. Firpo and Ryan Firpo.
