Eternals star Gemma Chan is remaining optimistic about returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the future. In an interview with ComicBook to promote her upcoming film The Actor, the actress discussed the prospect of reprising her role as Sersi. Chan admitted she doesn’t know if anything is being planned behind the scenes, as cast members are frequently “the last people to find out” when something has been greenlit.
However, she expressed hope that she will have an opportunity to come back, believing there is a lot of ripe material left to explore.“You never know. We’re often the last people to find out,” Chan said.
“I don’t know, I’m keeping the faith. I feel like there’s unfinished business there and there’s more story to tell, but we’ll see.”Eternals premiered back in November 2021, just a couple months after Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Despite having Oscar-winning director Chloé Zhao at the helm and a star-studded cast that included Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani, Kit Harington, Brian Tyree Henry, and Barry Keoghan (among others), the film earned a mixed reception. Eternals was the first MCU feature to post a “rotten” critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. At the worldwide box office, the film grossed $402 million.
