Eternals Actor Barry Keoghan's Long Dream Of Becoming MCU Superhero Comes True

Los Angeles, May 26, 2021: Marvel Studios recently released the first teaser/trailer of its upcoming superhero movie, Eternals - as part of Phase Four of the MCU. Directed by the Academy Award winner Chloé Zhao, the movie marks the first collaboration between the director and Marvel Studios. Zhao won Oscar for his last release, Nomadland.

Eternals has an impressive star cast led by Angelina Jolie as Thena, and Salma Hayek as Ajak along with Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Gil Birmingham, Harish Patel, and Kit Harington in prominent roles.



Meanwhile, actor Barry Keoghan who plays Druig - an aloof Eternal who can use cosmic energy to control the minds of others, is in the news for his long wish of becoming an MCU superhero, which has finally been fulfilled in Eternals.

A Twitter post is circulating on the microblogging site, which was tweeted by Barry in 2013. According to the post, Barry urged late Stan Lee - the primary creative leader of Marvel Comics for two decades, to make him a superhero. It took 6 six years for the actor to fulfill his wish when he was cast to play Druig in Eternals by Marvel Studios in 2019.
