“she and Ikaris are kind of immortal soulmates. That was a fun thing to play. Over a span of a thousand years, how do you play a normal relationship? The good thing is, Richard and I have known each other for over 10 years.” @gemma_chan for Vogue.

“First of all, I never expected to be back in the MCU,” says Chan, who played the Kree sniper Minn-Erva in 2019’s Captain Marvel. “So that was a surprise. And then to be working with an East Asian female director – I would never have dreamt of that, even just a few years ago.”
What can she tell me about her role before the NDA kicks in? “Sersi is not your typical superhero: she’s not necessarily the best fighter, she doesn’t have the most obviously impressive powers. The main thing is she’s an empath,” Chan says. “She has a connection with humans, and with the world and the earth. That is her strength, so I leant into that.”
…“Between us,” Chan confides – at which point I start nervously waiting for a Marvel lawyer to materialise next to us – “she and Ikaris are kind of immortal soulmates. That was a fun thing to play. Over a span of a thousand years, how do you play a normal relationship? The good thing is, Richard and I have known each other for over 10 years.”

“It has always been a passion for me to create a nuanced female superhero that is rarely seen in this genre. Gemma was very interested in this idea as well and took on the challenge. She is a great actress. Very intelligent and brave. She brought a beautiful sense of gentleness, compassion and vulnerability to Sersi that I believe will invite viewers to rethink what it means to be heroic.”
