Their wording is weird. It's unclear from the article if Jolie has actually signed on or is still in negotiations, or if the role is actually Sersi or just who people think she's playing.

All that could end up being accurate, of course, but it looks like they just got a tip from Nanjiani's reps that he's in negotiations for The Eternals and had to stretch that out. With Jude Law announced by Variety as being Mar-Vell in 'Captain Marvel', and then turning out to be Yon-Rogg in the final product; I feel that with these upcoming movies we won't know for sure until I actually see the movie.

I myself I could've worded it as "Angelina Jolie is apparently signed on, and is apparently playing Sersi", which every other place interpreting the article as if it's concretely confirmed. Marvel told us Jude Law wasn't playing Mar-Vell. They didn't tell us who exactly he was playing is until like a week before the movie came out, but once they removed all references to Mar-Vell and started promoting his character as just "Starforce Commander," we knew he was playing someone else.

But the article says Marvel declined to comment, so we know their source isn't Marvel or anyone connected to them. Their source is someone connected to Kumail Nanjiani. How much can they say about Angelina Jolie or how casting The Eternals is going overall? I'm not sure.
