In the interview with Entertainment Weekly, Ma Dong Seok commented, “I’ve always been a big fan of Marvel, and I really loved Gilgamesh’s character. Through Gilgamesh, I saw the possibility of inspiring the younger generation as the first Korean superhero of the Marvel cinematic universe.”

Then the actor described his character, saying, “He’s extremely powerful and the strongest warrior of Eternals. He’s protective over his family and humans, and he has a solid, dependable character that serves his team in battles. At the same time, he’s a funny guy and has a sense of humor.”

Ma Dong Seok mentioned Angelina Jolie’s character Thena, saying, “He has a deep connection with Thena, and he prefers to use his fists in battle, often taking out enemies with a single punch. That fit me perfectly because I’m a longtime boxer myself, for over 30 years since I was a kid.”

“The Eternals” is scheduled to premiere in November.
