The announcement of Kit Harington’s casting was made during the D23 Expo 2019 at Anaheim, California.

There have been previous reports indicating that Kit Harington was in negotiations to appear in a Marvel movie although the project was not revealed. Luckily, the casting was confirmed at D23.

In the comic books, The Eternals are a race of powerful humanoids who were created by the Celestials to be the defenders of Earth. Richard Madden will play the Eternal named Ikaris while Kit Harington was cast as the human hero Dane Whitman a.k.a. Black Knight.

Before Jon’s departure for the Night’s Watch, Robb commented that the next time they would see each other, Jon would be “all in black.” Interestingly, that’s exactly what’s going to happen in The Eternals.

The Eternals also stars Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Gemma Chan as Sersi, and Barry Keoghan as Druig. The film is scheduled for release on November 6, 2020.
