Here’s a closer look-
For the uninitiated, Eternals are the next superpowered group to join the MCU. “Marvel Studios has assembled an impressive cast — including Angelina Jolie, Kit Harington, and super-buff Wolverine cosplayer Kumail Nanjiani — to get everyone interested in the 25th MCU movie. It was originally meant to arrive on Nov. 6, 2020. It was initially delayed to February 2021 and then to November 2021. The official synopsis noted that the Eternals are “ancient aliens who have been living on Earth in secret for thousands of years,” reports CNET.
Well, Patel’s alleged presence in the trailer created quite a stir. Bollywood fans have been speculating whether Harish is playing the role of a PA to Kumail Nanjiani’s character in Eternals. Take a look at some of the reactions-
just wanted y’all to know that the actor who (among other parts) also played the iconic Ibu Hatella in Gunda (Harish Patel) has a part in Marvel’s The Eternals, glimpses of which we saw in the new lineup. Never give up on that dream

Since 2005 Harish Patel has been part of several International projects. In fact 2007 onwards he hasn't done an Indian film. His last project was the Hulu series Four Weddings and a Funeral (2019).

Today's Special is one of those feel good movies I'd recommend as a palate cleanser during this pandemic. pic.twitter.com/wwoRkPw14B

The last international role Patel essayed was one in ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’. While Marvel fans have been speculating about his role, do you think is it really him in the trailer?
