By Aedrianne Acar

From the Hallyu world to Hollywood, Don Lee (Ma Dong-seok) is living his dream as people will get to witness his amazing skills as an actor in the Marvel movie Eternals slated to premiere on November 5.

Korean entertainment aficionados know Don Lee since he was part of Gong Yoo's blockbuster zombie movie 'Train to Busan' in 2016.

During an interview in the world premiere of the film in Los Angeles this week, Don talked about his role as Gilgamesh in Eternals.

He said, “Gilgamesh is like the most powerful and strongest character in Eternals and he's very protective.

“He's a very strong guy, but at the same time he's a warm-hearted, fun- loving person.”

He also gave some hints of the relationship of his character to Angelina Jolie's role as Thena.

“It's more than friendship, it's something different, because this movie covers a long period of time. So, it's gonna be different relationship.”

Despite doing countless movies in the past, Don feels that Eternals marks a new phase or beginning in his career saying, “I'm so grateful and so excited. It's an honor to be part of the MCU, like you said, I produce and star in more than 100 films, but this is like my first Hollywood movie and it's my new beginning.

“It means a lot to me.”
