Eternals

Kit Harington could be playing not one , buttwoMarvel Comics characters inEternals . TheGame of Thronesstar is already set to play Black Knight to life on the big screen . In the risible books , Black Knight a.k.a . Dane Whitman is a classic penis of the Avengers who began his connexion with the squad in the late 1960s . Though typically insure as a C - list superhero , Black Knight was actually the face ofThe Avengerscomic in the other nineties .

Dane Whitman will make his live - action mechanism debut inEternals , the second movie on Marvel ’s form 4 ticket . Directed by Chloé Zhao , the movie will postdate the narration of a group of crack - powered immortal who have shared the Earth with humans in closed book since ancient times . Now , the Eternals will have to protect the satellite from one of their great enemies : the Deviants . Marvel has already denote a star - studded cast of actors to portray these heroes , but the name that stand out in the cast list is Dane Whitman , the film ’s only confirmed human grapheme . Dane ’s only connection to the Eternals in the comics is hisromantic family relationship with Sersi , so precisely how he check into the story is ill-defined at this point .

Eternalsis wait to sweep over a thousand years , so there ’s a given that Dane Whitman will only appear in the pic ’s present - sidereal day story . Even if that ’s the case , Kit Harington could still appear in the movie ’s flashback chronological sequence by playing a second character reference . Based onBlack Knight ’s chronicle in the strip , this does feel like a real possibility . Black Knight is a legacy character in Marvel Comics ; the title has been passed down from generation to generation go all the way back to the Arthurian epoch when the mantle was maintain by Sir Percy of Scandia . Over the long time , the comics have introducedvarious incarnations of the Black Knight . One in particular , Eobar Garrington , was a 12th   hundred swordsman whose physical structure was briefly populate by Dane Whitman . Eobar was identical in appearance to the advanced Black Knight .

Similar to the situation with Eobar Garrington , it ’s possible that a remote root of Dane Whitman resembles him so closely that he could be played by the same doer . Marvel could have Kit Harington play Sir Percy , Eobar , or perhaps an all - new variation of the character . SinceEternalswill encompass multiple time periods , going in this counselling will make it soft for Marvel to   keep Kit Harington ’s character central to the overreaching fib .

Using an ancestor of the Black Knight also makes sense because it would assist to base the mythos surrounding the graphic symbol . Dane is a modern man , but his sword ( the Ebony Blade ) and his legacy are rooted in ancient history . In   its past segment , Eternalscan explore theorigin of the Ebony Bladeand one of its former owner , who could issue forth across Sersi or one of the other Eternals . In the comics , Black Knight ’s story has nothing to do with the Eternals , but since both are in the flick and they both have deep tie-in to the past , there ’s a good opportunity that Marvel will want their backstories to be interlace .
