Sri Lankan choreographs dance routines in new Marvel film 'Eternals'

Nileeka Bose nee Gunawardene, who we featured in the Hi! Magazine a few years ago, can now reveal that she was the Choreographer for Marvels new film ‘Eternals’. Fast becoming one the UK’s most prominent choreographers, Nileeka’s dance company is in high demand to perform at weddings and events across UK and Europe. 

Nileeka trained actor Kumail Nanjiani (who played the part of Kingo) for four months prior to the film, in addition to choreographing two scenes in the movie. 

Nileeka was in attendance at the premiere of the Film at the BFI IMAX in London on the 27th of October.

Other stars in attendance at the event included Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kit Harington, Salma Hayak and Barry Keoghan

Eternals is a 2021 Marvel film based on the fictional race of humanoids of the same name which appears in the American comic books.

The film sees the Eternals, an immortal alien race, come out of hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their evil counterparts, the Deviants.

The movie, which premiered in Los Angeles earlier this month, stars Angelina Jolie as elite warrior Thena and Gemma Chan as the character Sersi. (Tina Edward Gunawardhana)
