In conversation with Total Film (via Games Radar), Salma Hayek confirmed her character, Ajak, is the leader of The Eternals.

At 53, – finally! – I can be a superhero. I play Ajak, who is the leader of the superheroes and all of them are people you would never have imagined. Except for Angelina [Jolie]. Angelina, she was born to be a superhero!
