Black Knight might no longer be a thing in the MCU, according to Kit Harington

Kit Harington's portrayal of the Black Knight in the MCU appears to be on its way out, according to the actor's recent comments. Playing Dane Whitman, the Black Knight, Harington expressed regret that there were no plans to further explore the character. "I don’t think there’s any plan to [bring Whitman back], I hate to break it to you," he stated.

Despite his interest in the character's complex nature, with the Ebony Blade as both his power and downfall, Harington acknowledged the role as a "wicked character." Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed there were "no immediate plans" for an Eternals sequel in 2024. Harington's MCU prospects seem limited, with the cancellation of his Jon Snow Game Of Thrones sequel adding to the situation. Currently, Harington is starring as Gilderoy Lockhart in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot series.
