Bodyguard star Richard Madden has teamed up with Angelina Jolie for a new Marvel superhero film.
Marvel’s Eternals is about a group of immortal super-beings who have watched over Earth for millennia.
Scots actor Madden, from Renfrewshire, is set to play hero Ikaris, who has super human strength and shoots cosmic energy bursts from his eyes.
The 34-year-old’s co-stars include Kumail Nanjiani, Salma Hayek, Kit Harington as well as Jolie, who will play Thena.
The movie follows on from the events of Avengers: Endgame and sees the Eternals rise up to reunite against mankind’s ancient enemy, The Deviants.
In a short trailer released by Marvel, Angelina and Richard can be seen standing beside each other in their characters.
Jolie’s character Thena is seen wielding a glowing sword in the footage, as a voice booms: ‘'When you love something, you fight for it.'
The movie is being directed by recent Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao who promised to make fans proud of the project.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘How much further and bigger can we go after Avengers: Endgame? Because I’m not just making the film as a director. I’m making the film as a fan.’
She said: "I shot exactly the way I wanted to shoot. On location. A lot of magic hour. Three-hundred-sixty degrees on the same camera as I did on Nomadland. Same rigs."
Eternals is scheduled for release November 5, 2021.
