look at what Nanjiani was known for prior to signing up forThe Eternals , his reaction makes sense . Although he ’s steadily become a more recognizable presence , thanks tohis stint on HBO’sSilicon Valleyand his memorable performance inThe Big Sick , the limelight that comes with headlining a big superhero blockbuster is entirely dissimilar . Although Nanjiani might have posted the photograph in an drive to get a laugh , and perhaps to disembowel attention to the ending results of a grueling regimen , it ultimately furnish him with a new kind of attention that he was n’t accustomed to .

That ’s one of the thing that makesThe Eternalsso interesting . For what may be the MCU ’s biggest gamble sinceGuardians of the Galaxypremiered in 2014 , Marvel Studios has assembled a roster of well - have it away actors . Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek lead the pack in terms of name realisation , but the dramatis personae also featuresGame of Thronesalums Richard Madden and Kit Harrington and Brian Tyree Henry from FX ’s dramedyAtlanta . While each one of those performers is doubtless accomplished in their own right , the superhero glare clamber differently . The takings Nanjiani references beyond the dominance of comic Word of God adaptation , though . In the entertainment industry , appearances can often be more crucial than substance . Nanjiani ’s forcible translation is only one aspect of his turn as Kingo , and it hopefully wo n’t eclipse everything else he bring toThe Eternals .
