Harish Patel, who portrays the valet Karun in “Eternals,” admits that he hadn’t ever seen a single Marvel film before his.
“I have no words. I can’t even, in my native language, think of what to say,” Harish Patel, who plays valet Karun in the movie, said of the deluge of praise.Ollie Upton/Hulu / NBC via Getty ImagesWhile a place in Marvel’s iconic superhero lore remains a lifelong dream for so many actors, Harish Patel, who portrays the valet Karun in the franchise’s latest film, “Eternals,” admitted that he couldn’t quite call himself a fan of the cinematic universe.
The veteran Indian actor, who had been relatively unfamiliar with Marvel’s cultural reach, was still wrapping his mind around the deluge of praise in the days that followed, during which he had been anointed the G.O.A.T. on social media. Patel may not have had much screen time, but his character, a rare human among fantastical beings, left a deep impression on audiences. Much of the movie follows Eternals, a group of ancient, alien immortals, who surface after years of living among humans to reunite and protect the world from their enemies, another race of age-old beings called the Deviants.
“I felt my legs shaking,” Patel said. “When we were filming it was so real and they all were in their characters, so you would look at them and you’d feel as if you don’t know what they will do to you.”
