MOVIE NEWS – Kit Harington is uncertain about his future in the MCU. But the Eternals star is curious about where his character will go.

“You know nothing, Jon Snow.” At least that’s what former Game of Thrones star Kit Harington says about his future in the Marvel Universe. Harington says “nothing is certain” about his character’s future in the blockbuster cinematic universe. But at least one thing is certain. Harington will make his Marvel movie debut in Marvel’s Eternals when the film debuts on November 5.

Harington plays Dane Whitman, a commoner in the film who is the romantic partner of the super-powered and immortal Sersi, played by Gemma Chan. Whitman’s comic book counterpart wields the ebony blade known from medieval legend to become the Black Knight, but in Eternals, Whitman is not a knight, nor is he in possession of said cursed blade, which is known to drive its wielder mad.

The Black Knight made his comic book debut in 1967 in Avengers issue 47, and although a lesser-known hero, he has a long and bloody history as a member of the Avengers.

In an interview with Variety, Harington said of his character in Eternals: “To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t heard of the character. I kind of had to read up on it and try not to fall into too many black holes on the internet to see the basics. But the essence of the character and his abilities seem very interesting to me. God knows where it will lead. So I don’t know, I can’t predict where, if anywhere, it will take the character. But the basics of him having something that seems to be cursed, I thought, a lot of meaty stuff.”

Eternals may end with a hint at Dane’s future in the MCU, but Harington notes that “nothing is certain” because of the nature of the thing.

Harington stated, “It’s the first thing you learn in this industry. There is no certainty. If you go into it with the feeling that something is certain, you’re setting yourself up for failure. I really follow the rule that this is the project, this is what I’m doing. I go into it with the information that there is a path and a future that can happen.”

Harington, of course, is well aware of the uncertainty from his time on Game of Thrones. The end of season 5 ended with his character, Snowy Jon, being stabbed and left for dead by his own men from the Night’s Watch. A lot of uncertainty surrounded Jon Snow’s character after that, both for fans and for Harington himself.

While it’s uncertain what the future holds for Harington’s character in the MCU, the fact that Whitman is playing Sersi’s love interest in The Eternals is a big treat for fans of the Avengers comics from the 90s, where the pair were a staple of the comics. Producer Nate More notes that the seeds have been planted for a sequel, but we’ll have to wait and see where those seeds lead.
