Alright, superhero fans, it's time to welcome another big-name actor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Kit Harington! After Harington wrapped as Jon Snow on HBO's Game of Thrones [1], he ventured from beyond the wall to the Marvel Studios office. After recent speculation suggested [2] the 32-year-old actor would be involved in the MCU, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that he is indeed joining the heavyweight franchise [3] as Dane Whitman, aka the Black Knight [4], in The Eternals. The official announcement was made at the D23 convention on Saturday.

Harington's part in The Eternals [5] means he'll be reunited with Game of Thrones costar Richard Madden, who played Jon's brother, Robb Stark [6]. In the MCU, Madden will portray Icarus, alongside Harington and Angelina Jolie [7]. Another Game of Thrones actor who broke into MCU's Earth-199999 [8] is Peter Dinklage, who portrayed the wise-cracking Tyrion Lannister [9] on the HBO series. His Marvel appearance came in Avengers: Infinity War as the character Eitri, the manufacturer of Thor's Stormbreaker weapon [10].

Jon Snow's watch might have ended, but it looks like heroic new beginnings await Harington! Now if only we could get Spider-Man back [11] into — you know what, I'll save that rant [12] for another day.
