Reps for Jolie and Madden did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Jolie, 44, surprised fans when she confirmed her role in the film while at San Diego Comic-Con in July. The Oscar-winning actress will star alongside Madden, Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani, Brian Tyree Henry, Lia McHugh and Lauren Ridloff, who joined her.
The Eternals follows the story of a group of near-immortal superheroes known as Eternals who lived on Earth and shaped its history and civilizations, according to IMDb.

Chloe Zhao — whose previous work includes the 2017 indie western drama The Rider — will direct the film, while Matthew and Ryan Firpo will write the script. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige, who produced all 22 Marvel films, will continue his work as the producer for The Eternals.
Jolie told PEOPLE in late July her six kids were the most excited about her new role.
“What’s really moving to me is that they want to see me strong, and so it’s less to see me in a film, but they’re just happy I will be strong and having fun,” Jolie said of Maddox, 18, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
The Eternals is slated to hit theaters Nov. 6, 2020.
