What we’ve heard this summer is that Salma Hayek is in early talks to join Marvel’s The Eternals, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Will she join the Marvel Universe? She would be an exciting new addition, that’s for sure!
The Eternals, set to start filming later this year, is being directed by Chloe Zhao (The Rider, Songs My Brothers Taught Me), and if the Hayek rumor mill gets their way, she will be starring with Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden, and Kumail Nanjani.
In addition, Amazon Studios and Endgame Entertainment recently announced that Hayek and Own Wilson will be starring in the mind-bending romance, Bliss. Directing is Mike Cahill (I Origins, Another Earth) that is now shooting in Los Angeles and Croatia.
Wilson portrays Greg, a recent divorcee whose life is falling apart when he meets a captivating woman, Isabel, portrayed by Hayek, who happens to live on the streets and is convinced that the polluted world around them is not real. Greg eventually gets caught up in Isabel’s wild theory.
Producing is James D. Stern, Endgame Entertainment along with Lucas Smith and Marsha Swinton are executive producing.
And, if these two movie projects weren’t enough, Hayek is also co-starring alongside Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne and Billy Porter with Miguel Arteta directing the comedy Limited Partners for Paramount which is due out in January fo 2020.
Also coming in 2020, Hayek costars with Samuel L. Jackson, Ryan Reynolds and Frank Grillo in The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard. The action-comedy-thriller has just wrapped. Sounds like an exciting movie where Hayek as Sonia Kincaid gets to join the guys in the raucous and hilarious mayhem to kick a little A!
The actress also has bragging rights with films like Arteta’s Beatriz at Dinner and Ken Marino’s How to Be a Latin Lover, co-starring with Eugenio Derbez and of course who can forget her as Frida Khalo in Frida in 2002.
Hayek is repped by Creative Artist Agency (CAA), Management 360, Wolf-Kasteler Public Relations and is the President & CEO (Producer) of Ventanarosa Productions.
