Eternals: Every Character Ranked From Worst To Best
6. Ajak
Ajak (Salma Hayek) is in the film a lot less than most were probably expecting, but she carries herself with a palpable dignity and authority in every single scene.
As the original leader of the Eternals, Ajak is clear-headed and wise, serving as their connection to Arishem and as such wearing the weight of knowing Earth's intended fate.
She isn't a massively deep character but we can sense her love for humanity and, given her murder at the hands of Ikaris, she's undeniably one of the most tragic Eternals.
Hayek does a great job with what she's given, delivering a fresh take on the wise elder superhero that mostly avoids cliches.
