Marvel’s The Eternals drops next November, further expanding the MCU into the cosmic realms beyond Earth. Chloe Zhao is directing and the star-studded cast includes Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, Salma Hayek, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, Gemma Chan, Kit Harrington, and Kumail Nanjiani.
Nanjiani, an eternal Pajiba favorite and one-half of the entertainment industry’s most sinfully underrated power couples, will play Kingo Sunen, who Wikipedia describes as a samurai and master swordsman. We know Marvel Studios likes to keep its abs quota high, so Nanjiani committed to a full work-out. You may have seen his wife, writer and producer Emily V. Gordon, noting that fact on Twitter, but now Kumail has revealed the results.
Now there is a man who is not f**king around for the part. Look, Nanjiani has always been hot, he never needed abs to confirm that, but we can’t say the slightly pained looking forearm veins aren’t doing it for us. Emily Gordon, you go get it!
