Actress Angelina Jolie is in negotiations to make a foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with The Eternals.

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is looking at Marvel Studio’s superhero team adventure feature being directed by award-winning indie director Chloe Zhao.

Though Angelina Jolie has done fantasy films such as Maleficent, this would be her first stint in a superhero film.

The Oscar-winning actress has chosen the project based on the Jack Kirby-created title about superpowered and near-immortal beings known as Eternals and a more monstrous offshoot known as the Deviants that were created by the cosmic beings called Celestials.

The details about the film are being kept under wraps but one of the insiders has revealed one aspect to the story involves the love story between Ikaris, a man fuelled by cosmic energy, and Sersi, who relishes moving amongst humans. Details about her character are not revealed.

Marvel had no comment.

Zhao, a name behind the critical hits The Rider and Songs My Brothers Taught Me, will be directing and script will be worked on by Matthew and Ryan Firpo.

Jolie is presently working with Marvel’s parent company Disney on two films – Maleficent sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. The film will release later this year and animation/live-action hybrid project The One and Only Ivan, which she is also producing.
