Gemma Chan joined the Marvel family when she portrayed Minn-Erva in Captain Marvel. This Kree warrior is a skilled sniper on Yon-Rogg's Starforce unit and is originally perceived as an ally to the titular character. But when Captain Marvel learns her people are exterminating civilians, Minn-Erva turns on her former teammate and is ultimately killed by Marvel's friend, Monica Rambeau.

Viewers were disappointed to see Minn-Erva kick the bucket since it felt like Chan never got the chance to showcase her talents. Thankfully, the London-based actress has been cast as Sersi in the upcoming film, Eternals, giving her another opportunity to show off her acting chops. Although Minn-Erva was a bit part role, Sersi is one of the most significant members of the Eternals, guaranteeing Chan will play a pivotal role in the story.

Because Mine-Erva had blue skin, many casual viewers won't even notice she and Sersi are played by the same actress. In fact, many Chan fans were thrilled to hear Chan was "joining the MCU" when her casting in Eternals was announced, oblivious that she joined the franchise two years earlier.
