![]() He's getting ready to open the Ebony Blade-the sword at the center of that complicated family history he mentioned-when an off-screen voice asked him if he was ready to do that just yet. They'll pick that conversation up next time, I guess.ĭane is the focus of the second credits scene in Eternals as well. Just as he's about to tell Sersi about some of his complicated family history (more on that below), Sersi is plucked into the sky by Arishem the Judge. We next see Dane just briefly on FaceTime, and then we see him again at the end of the movie, once the main conflict has been resolved. Sersi explains her life and being to Dane, who is confused. Awkward moment when Dane meets Sersi's ex- (and a fun little Thrones reunion between Jon Snow and Robb Stark). The two hang out a bit, along with fellow Eternal Sprite (who appears as a young girl), before Deviants attack, and Sersi, Sprike and Ikaris save Dane and stop the Eternal. ![]() We first see him working at the Natural History Museum, where it's revealed that he's now in a relationship with Eternal Sersi (who was previously in a thousands-of-years-long relationship with Richard Madden's Ikaris). Whitman only features into a couple scenes in Eternals. "I'm trying to choose things as far away from Jon Snow as possible, but I'm playing a superhero and he's got a sword." Dane Whitman's role in Eternals is small, but fruitful. I don't know what I can say about it, I'm scared to sort of even mention it," Harington said during a panel back in 2019, according to Comic Book. I'm going on to play a superhero, which is cool. (Even just broadly, Whitman is a contemporary character, while Thrones is of course set in a different time and setting.) While Whitman does sound similar to Harington's turn as Jon Snow, the actor seems to think that outside of some of the more obvious aesthetic similarities, the comparisons should mostly stop there. Some speculation even wondered if perhaps he could be the MCU's new Wolverine Harington, listed at 5'8'' on IMDB (and that's probably a bit generous) would be a lot closer to the X-Men icon's comic height (in the 5'3'' to 5'5'' range) than Hugh Jackman ever was.Īlas, this wasn't the case Harington was revealed at the 2019 D23 Expo to be playing Dane Whitman, the third iteration of the Black Knight, in Eternals. When it first leaked in August 2019 that Harington would be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it wasn't immediately clear which movie he was signing on for, or which character he would be playing. Marvel Studios Kit Harington plays Dane Whitman/Black Knight in Eternals Perhaps his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe can change that. His character goes way back in the comics, but has never reached the popularity of someone like Spider-Man or Captain America. So if you wanted to know a little more about Harington's first post- Thrones blockbuster, we've got you covered. Because let's be real: Marvel wasn't hiring Jon Snow to just be a regular guy. And the movie is structured, specifically, for viewers to wonder what, exactly, his deal is. Harington's role in Eternals as just Dane-no alter ego yet-is small, but he's charismatic and charming as always in his limited screen time. Now that he's entered into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in director Chloé Zhao's Eternals, he's ready to do it all again, this time playing a character by the name of Dane Whitman, a man who eventually becomes the hero known as Black Knight. Kit Harington rose to fame as part of the massive, expansive, action-packed, intrigue-filled world of Game of Thrones. Harington plays Dane Whitman, a longtime Marvel Comics hero with the alter ego of Black Knight.The movie is directed Academy Award-winner Chloé Zhao, and is the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.Eternals is now out, and while Kit Harington's role is small, he's got a big tease-and a bigger role to come.The following story contains some spoilers for Marvel's Eternals.
