The Eternals cast were out in full force on the blue carpet tonight for the UK premiere of the upcoming Marvel film.

Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, and Richard Madden were among the A-list stars in attendance and they posed for pictures before heading in for the London screening.

Jolie, who plays Thena in the sci-fi saga, was accompanied by her five children for the event after being spotted doing a spot of shopping with her daughter Vivienne on Oxford Street earlier in the day.

The 46-year-old actress wore a black and white shirt dress and smiled for the cameras with Maddox, 20, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 13, in tow.

Asked about saying yes to the film, Angelina previously told Associated Press on the red carpet: ‘The cast, the diversity that that these would be our new superheroes.’

Speaking about why a film like Eternals is important for her children, she added: ‘I think they haven’t seen it yet, and I don’t think they realise right now what it’s going to mean, but they’re going to see it and it’s going to… I remember watching Black Panther with Zahara when she was little.

‘And I remember her siblings watching her and I remember what that felt like. So, seeing everybody together in one family, it feels a little like our home. And, you know, so when we go and we see this cast, we can joke at home that we could dress up as the Eternals because actually there’s a family that we could be.’

Elsewhere, Chan, who plays Sersi in the film, wore a hooded black and silver jewel-encrusted two piece for the occasion.

Former Game Of Thrones stars Madden and Kit Harington were also at the event.

Harington, who plays Dane Whitman, a human in Eternals, recently said of the cast’s diversity: ‘This is one of the things I loved about this movie.

‘It’s one of the things that was first said to me… that this cast of characters is the most diverse in Marvel’s history. And to be part of that is, you know, it’s a real source of pride for me.’

Eternals, directed by Oscar-winner Chloe Zhao, is part of the fourth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The film features immortal aliens who have been secretly living on Earth for thousands of years waiting for the right moment to jump into action.

The events kick off immediately after 2019’s Avengers: Endgame when an unexpected tragedy forces the Eternals out of hiding to reunite against the Deviants.

Eternals is due for release in UK cinemas in November.
