Kit Harington Joins Marvel Cinematic Universe

Cnn.com: Kit Harington has been confirmed for a role in Marvel's "The Eternals," bringing the "Game of Thrones" star into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The announcement came at D23 Expo, the biennial convention devoted to all things Disney. The event for the Walt Disney Studios also included footage of the upcoming sequel "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," as well as "The Black Widow" and "Frozen II," among other eagerly anticipated films.

Harington will play Dane Whitman, aka the heroic Black Knight, in the movie. That's not one of the characters known as the Eternals in the comics, which were created by Jack Kirby.

Deadline had reported that Harington would be joining the Marvel stable, without any details about in what capacity. That triggered speculation about a number of higher-profile characters the actor might play. The film -- about a race of immortal beings -- features an ensemble cast that includes Salma Hayek, Angelina Jolie, fellow "Thrones" alumnus Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Gemma Chan and Brian Tyree Henry.
