In a recent interview with Elle, she revealed that she had an argument at home and those around her were worried that she might be fired from the film.
“I had some problem with the script and we got into a serious fight at our house. We were both passionate. And she was like, “No, but that’s not how I designed it.” People outside my house were calling it a fight because we were kind of shouting. We kept talking and talking, and it went on for a long time,” she told the publication.
He continued, “The people outside were so nervous that I was being fired. I came out and I said, “Wow, I’m in love with his brain!” It was the best creative conversation I’ve ever had with a director in my life, and he felt the same way. He told me, “Wow! That was amazing.” There was just complete freedom. We found our middle ground. While searching for it, we came up with other ideas. It was super exciting.”
She also said that she was overjoyed to learn that she would be playing the role of one of the Eternals in the film as she initially thought that she was going to play the role of a grandmother because of her age. “I never thought I was going to be one of the Eternals. It doesn’t happen. It’s never happened to me without a fight like this before and being like, “I can do this, please hire me!” When he told me I was one of them, I was like, “Me, Mexican, Middle East? Me, in my fifties? I’m going to be a superhero in a Marvel movie?”
Salma Hayek said that sometimes as a woman and a woman of color, someone is overlooked.
“Sometimes as a woman, as a woman of color and with age, you feel so neglected. It was one of those moments where you think, well, I’ve been in this industry, lived for so long. I was just accepted by someone I admire and didn’t know she was looking at me. I kept feeling like, Shit, this is cool. He has balls, he is interesting,” he expressed.
In addition to Hayek, the film also stars Angelina Jolie, Don Lee and Kumail Nanjiani.
