Madden portrays Ikaris, who appears to be in a relationship with Gemma Chan's Sersi. Jolie wields a staff and armor.

The super-powered group also includes Salma Hayek as Ajak, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Lia McHugh as Sprite and Don Lee as Gilgamesh.

Kit Harrington, who starred alongside Madden in HBO's Game of Thrones, also makes a brief appearance as Dane Whitman.

McHugh's Spirite asks the team who will lead the Avengers after the passing of Captain America and Iron Man.

"I could lead them," Madden's Ikaris says before the group starts laughing.

Eternals, from director Chloé Zhao (Nomadland), is coming to theaters on Nov. 5.
