Game of Thrones star Kit Harington, known for playing the role of Jon Snow, is speculated to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in an upcoming film. The report comes from Deadline, who also broke the news of Marvel Studios and Sony’s Spider-Man deal breaking down earlier this week. According to Deadline, sources say he will join on of Kevin Feige‘s superhero franchises, but more information may not arrive until later this weekend during Disney‘s annual D23 or sometime after.
Although Deadline currently has no information on what film it would be, it is interesting to note that former Game of Thrones star Richard Madden will also star in Marvel Studio‘s upcoming film The Eternals as Ikaris. The film will focus on the character and his sister Sersei, who has yet to be cast. Hercules, a character Marvel intends to introduce as its first gay character, has yet to be cast either, despite a bulk of the cast being introduced at San Diego Comic-Con this year.
Stay tuned as this story develops.
