Angelina on the red carpet with the tribe for “The Eternals”

Angelina Jolie is back in (great) company. Waiting for the red carpet that will close the Rome Film Festival in style on October 24, the most diva diva in Hollywood walked with her children at the Los Angeles premiere of The Eternals, the new Marvel movie that will arrive in Italian cinemas on November 3. Tribe almost complete – only 17-year-old Pax was missing – with Maddox, 20, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and thirteen-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox, all dressed in previously used clothes, as required by the green label of the new events post pandemic.

It was not the first time that Angelina walked the red carpet together with one or more of her many children, but for this film, aimed above all at a very young audience, she decided for the big group. Partly because, when he got the script, the boys had been his biggest supporters for this role (“They can’t wait to see me in a Marvel movie,” he said in 2019 when he was about to start shooting), partly because now, at the end of the film, “they were curious to see what their mother would do in a golden onesie and with very blond hair”.

But there is also another reason, to be identified between the lines of the history of this film: their presence recalled, in some way, the meaning of the film itself, at least in the intentions of the director Chloé Zhao, Oscar winner for Nomadland. “That’s why I agreed to make this film,” explained Jolie herself. “Chloé said she wanted to write a love letter to Earth, a story about some kind of family. So when I was told what his intentions were and what he meant by family, I knew it was something I had been waiting for for a long time. “

The Eternals tells the story of a group of Immortals who after years of “inactivity” and of life, so to speak, in civilian clothes, are forced to put on their superhero uniforms and unite against humanity’s oldest enemy, the Deviants. But in this group, the director pointed out, there is no more important Immortal, but all are protagonists because each has value for its peculiarities. Just like in a real family. A spirit that was also that of the set. It seems that, according to younger colleagues, Angelina and Salma Hayek were the moms of the cast. Angelina confirmed: “I’m a mom,” she said. “And Salma is too. We are like that ».
