Eternals’ Gilgamesh Actor Approves of His MCU Action Figure
Eternals star Don Lee has been pictured approving the action figures depicting his Marvel character Gilgamesh that are set to be produced by Hot Toys. The actor starred as the immortal hero in Chloé Zhao's 2022 Marvel epic. Lee starred alongside Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Angelina Jolie, Barry Keoghan, Lauren Ridloff, Kumail Nanjiani, Bryan Tyree Henry, Lia McHugh, and Salma Hayek.

While Gilgamesh's role changed from earlier drafts, he and Thena's relationship proved to be one of Eternals' most celebrated points and made them endearing characters. As such, many viewers were excited to see the character represented in merchandise, including Lee himself, as revealed in a recent post.
