After his popular role as Jon Snow, ‘Game of Thrones’ star Kit Harrington has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as a new superhero ‘Black Knight’. It has been confirmed he’s in the Marvel’s ‘Eternals’ lineup, where he will reunite with his 'GoT' brother Richard Madden in the same movie.

Madden has long been confirmed to appear in the film to play Ikaris, while Kit will play Dane Whitman [real name of a superhero by the name of Black Knight].

During his presentation at Disney’s biennial D23 Expo, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige revealed that Harington will join the cast of ‘Eternals’. Other than Madden, the cast includes Kumail Nanjiani, Angelina Jolie, Salma Hayek, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, Lia McHugh, Don Lee and Gemma Chan.

In addition to announcing Harington’s role and assembling the ‘Eternals’ onstage, Disney offered another major Marvel announcement, a premier date for the second ‘Black Panther’ film on May 6, 2022.

‘The Eternals’ are a bit of a Marvel deep cut, and made their initial debut in 1976. The heroes are from a race of immortal humanoids, and while the group may not be a household name, one ‘Eternal’ is Thanos.
