The actress, 44, shared details of her kids' excitement about her upcoming role as warrior Thena in new Marvel movie The Eternals in an interview with PEOPLE.
“What’s really moving to me is that they want to see me strong, and so it’s less to see me in a film, but they’re just happy I will be strong and having fun,” said the mum of six.
Angelina plays Thena in the movie, a superhuman who has superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes.
“She’s a warrior,” she told the publication.
“I’m going to have to work very hard to give the Marvel Cinematic Universe the Thena they deserve.”
The Eternals will also star Salma Hayek, Kumail Nanjiani and former Game of Thrones star Richard Madden as a group of ancient superheroes.

Angelina shares Maddox, 17, Pax, 15, Zahara, 14, Shiloh, 13, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with her ex husband, Brad Pitt.
Recent reports suggest they are currently fighting over who gets their South of France mansion and vineyard, Chateau Miraval.
The couple co-own the property, which produces award-winning wine, but, according to Radar Online, Angelina has decided she wants it for herself, while Brad was hoping t move there.
“They did have a gentleman’s agreement that they’d share it since it is a lucrative business enterprise, but when Angie returned to the property, she realised how much she loves it – and how much it would drive Brad crazy if she took it from him,” a source told the outlet.
