Statement from Ma Dong-seok about Angelina Jolie at The Eternals conference
Ma Dong-seok spoke about working with Angelina Jolie and said,
"When we were filming, it was before COVID-19. We used to talk about how we both want to go to Korea to greet everyone and meet our Korean fans. It was unfortunate with [COVID-19] spreading all over the world for two years now, so when I told her I'm attending a Korean press conference, she came to support me."
Angelina Jolie spoke about her experience of working with Ma Dong-seok and shooting action sequences with him. She said:
Filming with [Ma Dong Suk] was like a dream. I was originally a fan, but while filming the action scenes, I had an unbelievable experience.
The Eternals is directed by The Rider director Chloe Zhao. The script was written by Matthew and Ryan Firpo and the cast of the film is extensive.
