On Eternals & The Glory Of The Middle-Aged Female Superhero

Vogue celebrates the casting of Salma Hayek and Angelina Jolie as superheroes in the new Eternals movie. “I’m pleasantly surprised to see them shine in a notoriously ageist Hollywood”, Michelle Ruiz writes.

Hayek’s character Ajak rules over the 10 Eternals – including the traditional male hero, Icarus, played by Richard Madden. “Colour me shocked that Ikarus isn’t Ajak’s appointed deputy either. That would be (38-year-old) Gemma Chan, as Sersi, the de facto soul of the group. Further post-Eternals googling revealed that another standout cast member – Walking Dead actress Lauren Ridloff, appearing as the super-speedy Makkari, Marvel’s first deaf superhero – is 43″. A new age for Hollywood in more ways than one beckon, perhaps? It’s long overdue.
