Reuniting with his ‘Game of Thrones’ brother Richard Madden for ‘The Eternals.’
Marvel has confirmed at D23 that Kit Harington will appear in The Eternals, meaning he will reunite on screen with his Game of Thrones co-star Richard Madden. Harington will play Dane Whitman, a.k.a. the Black Knight. He’ll be the third Game of Thrones star to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with Madden and Sophie Turner, who plays Jean Grey in X-Men.
The full cast of The Eternals will introduce many stars to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time, including Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek and Kumail Nanjiani.
It is interesting to note that former Game of Thrones star Richard Madden will also star in Marvel Studio‘s upcoming film The Eternals as Ikaris. The film will focus on the character and his sister Sersei, who has yet to be cast. Hercules, a character Marvel intends to introduce as its first gay character, has yet to be cast either, despite a bulk of the cast being introduced at San Diego Comic-Con this year.
