Indian actor Harish Patel has confirmed that he will star in Marvel’s Eternals after fans spotted him in a trailer.
The video looked back at previous films and revealed plans for the American media franchise’s next phase.
The Gunda actor told Indian Express: “Yes, the man you saw in the teaser is me.”
“I can just confirm that I am doing Eternals but cannot speak about it right now. The makers haven’t even announced my name, and I will wait for them to do that.”
The cast of Eternals includes Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, and Kumail Nanjiani in leading roles.
The short clip gave the fans a brief look at Angelina Jolie’s superhero avatar, where she is seen wearing blonde locks and carying a blade.
