Angelina Jolie to film "The Eternals" in Tenerife.

Tenerife Cabildo hosted a meeting with Kevin de la Noy and Karl Mcmilan, the producers at Disney and are delighted to have scenes from the film shot on the Island of Tenerife in the Teide National park. SUR-Film (Based on the Islands) has been involved in the production of other films here including; Fast and Furious 6 and Fury of the Titans previously.

Hollywood A-lister Angelina Jolie will star alongside The Big Sick’s already-attached Kumail Nanjiani, with Jolie playing the ultra-powerful character of Thena and Nanjiani playing master swordsman Kingo Sunen.
Jolie’s physical training tackled “everything from swords to ballet,” she said.
Game of Thrones’ and Bodyguard’s Richard Madden has also been confirmed for a role, playing a character called Ikaris known for his numerous abilities (including strength, flight, a healing factor, psychic powers, durability and cosmic energy manipulation).

In the comics, the Jack Kirby-created Eternals are a race of vastly powerful aliens with incredible abilities (including atomic manipulation, super-speed, super-strength and so on), which they’ve primarily used in an endless battle against their foes the Deviants.
Essentially, the Eternals are an entire society of super-powered, near-immortal beings who have occasionally come into contact with more mainstream Marvel heroes, leaving quite a lot of scope for where a film storyline could go.

Featuring in the rumoured-but-unconfirmed space is Hollywood legend Keanu Reeves, currently enjoying a career renaissance thanks to the fan-favourite John Wick movies and possibly now in the frame for another main role in the Eternals – though given that he wasn’t included in the SDCC line-up, it could be more likely that Marvel have him in mind for another upcoming movie.
Perhaps, given the relatively unknown subject manner Marvel are plumping for some well-known names and faces – but whatever the reason, this is looking like a particularly starry group of superheroes.
