  "account": "Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has given a disappointing update on the future of his Marvel character Dane Whitman, also known as Black Knight. Harington joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as part of an impressive ensemble cast in the 2021 sci-fi film Eternals. However, despite initial promise in the movie's end credits that the superhero team would return, no mention of Eternals characters has been made since the film's underwhelming reception. Marvel's chief Kevin Feige confirmed in 2022 that there are currently no plans for an Eternals sequel, and there has been no hint of any change in this regard.\n\nFans have long hoped that Harington could return to his role, perhaps not in a full sequel but in another project. They have even held onto hope for a Midnight Sons team-up movie, which could feature Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider and Mahershala Ali's Blade. However, Harington has recently revealed to Movie Web that he is unaware of any invitation to return to the Marvel universe. He expressed his disappointment, saying, \"I don't think there's any plan to.\" Despite his admiration for the character and its complex narrative, Harington remains unsure about the plans for Black Knight in the MCU.",
