Hollywood star Salma Hayek says she is someone. Who “dreams big” and she surprises finally get to do Eternals. It fulfills her wish of playing a superhero in a blockbuster movie with a great director like Chloe Zhao.
The upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie revolves around the Eternal. An alien race living on Earth for over 7,000 years. Who team up to protect humanity from their evil counterparts, the Deviants.

“It’s a really humbling experience because, you know, I dream big. I dream big and if I am not gotten here at all. In my big dreams, I want to be a superhero, and I want to work with the best directors in the world and have big blockbuster movies and also movies that are art, that is made from a very deep place with great directors,” Hayek said in a virtual press conference for the film from Los Angeles on Tuesday night.
Hayek said she had given up on playing a superhero and then Eternals came her way.
“… Now it is very humbling when in the middle of your 50s, a brilliant director gives you the opportunity to do both: do something that comes from a deep place, that is also a big blockbuster. I was wrong. Everything is possible. And it’s a humbling sensation,” she added.
The actor said the team even let her do her own stunts in the movie.
The film is theatrically releasing in India on November 5 in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
