In a latest profile with GQ, Package Harington appeared to substantiate his transient time within the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Dane “The Black Knight” Whitman has drawn to an in depth—and with it, any seeming plan to return to the world of Chloe Zhao’s Eternals altogether.
Following the poor reception to the 2021 movie, the article notes its sequel has been “reportedly canned” (a Variety report pulling from the profile additional claims that an Eternals sequel was not in growth). His character’s deliberate return within the chronically doomed Blade reboot is moreover unlikely at this level, both, given Harington’s total emotions about his time within the MCU. “I’m not gonna fake I took that [role] as a result of it was totally different and attention-grabbing,” Harington mentioned of Eternals. “If Marvel calls, you gotta do it.”
It appears then that the world Eternals left behind will simply should be touched on elsewhere—we already know, for instance, that the next Captain America film goes to be the movie that lastly picks up on that entire “so hey there’s the petrified corpse of a half-birthed Celestial simply hanging within the Indian Ocean” plotline, of all movies.
However that provides Harington the chance he needs as an actor—to develop past what defined him in Game of Thrones. “Should you’ve been the younger male lead in one thing, and you can argue that I bought given that chance as a result of of my look. The concern is that that’s all of your value is. And for me, the older I get, the extra that drops away. The extra I get to simply accept [that] no, I’m an actor. And I’ve been round for some time. And I’m nonetheless working. And so in some unspecified time in the future, I’ve to simply accept that may have one thing to do with my expertise as properly.” No matter that future holds, it most likely received’t contain a return to the MCU any time quickly.
