How Angelina Jolie Has Been Training for Marvel's Eternals


Marvel's Eternals has a lot of fans curious since they are relatively obscure characters and were actually killed in the comics not too long ago, likely to make room for a relaunch. The movie will have a big cast, including Hollywood A-lister Angeline Jolie, who will be playing Thena. Since this is a Marvel movie, Jolie is getting in shape since she knows that there will be a need for her to get physical, even with stunt doubles.

Funnily enough, talking with OK! Magazine (via Metro), Jolie revealed that she has attended some of her children's physical activity classes to get in shape. No joke, the Maleficent star stated that she has gone to her son's weapon classes and daughter's karate lessons, even taking part in them. This is interesting, to say the least, though she has probably been going to the gym as well.

"My son Knox does some weapons classes and Viv does karate so I've been jumping into all their classes. I'm the mum that keeps showing up. It's been fun and going to the gym together is really good."

Some of us might find this cute, cringe-inducing, or simply misleading, but it seems that Jolie is excited to join the MCU. Admittedly, Thena is far from the most popular character in Marvel history but you can bet that Jolie will make her memorable, especially with a little CGI magic.

Personally, I'm excited to see what she brings to the table. Jolie has always been a great actress, despite what the Maleficent movies have shown, and she adds a lot of presence to this relatively unknown Marvel movie. Then again, Marvel Studios is huge now and they can make any comic book movie now.

Marvel's Eternals will be coming out next year, on November 6, 2020.
