Even if the rest of the world doesn’t know her, and I know, there are moments where it is that character that I talked about without reading the script. And you know what, it’s not what the story is about…but everything I said, she drew from it. She asked her if Ajak could be a “mother figure,” because in her eyes, “The mother is, a lot of times, the leader of a family.” A bit bolder, Hayek questioned if Ajak could be “the super hero for the environment,” alluding to “Mother Earth” who loves animals, plants, and things about humanity including music and food.Īs to how Zhao reacted to the pitch, Hayek reveals, “She laughed. Hayek reveals early on in her discussions with Zhao involved understanding her character’s motivations. “She’s the leader of this group of people that have a mission, and it is my responsibility to make sure that it’s accomplished and that they behave.” “ Ajak is in charge to supervise them, bring them over,” states Hayek. In a set visit for Eternals at Pinewood Studios in the UK back in January 2020, Salma Hayek gave more insight to her character Ajak, and how Ajak views the rest of the Eternals under a maternal lens. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Gemma Chan as humankind-loving Sersi, Richard Madden as the all-powerful Ikaris, Kumail Nanjiani as cosmic-powered Kingo, Lia McHugh as the eternally young, old-soul Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as the intelligent inventor Phastos, Lauren Ridloff as the super-fast Makkari, Barry Keoghan as aloof loner Druig, Don Lee as the powerful Gilgamesh, with Kit Harington as Dane Whitman, with Salma Hayek as the wise and spiritual leader Ajak, and Angelina Jolie as the fierce warrior Thena.
