With Marvel Studios The Eternals is all set to launch the Games of Thrones star Kit Harington as Dane Whitman along with other superhero members of Eternals, who have been secretly living on planet earth for thousands of years, opens up about if the fans could expect him in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films.’

Harington said while discussing about his The Eternals’ character Dane Whitman in a recent interview with Variety. "If I'm totally honest, I hadn't heard of the character. I had to sort of read up on him and try not to fall down too many black holes on the internet and just see what the basics were," Harington said, "But the essence of the character and his powers seem to me very interesting. God knows where it's gonna go. So I don't know, I can't predict whether, where, if anywhere, they'll take the character. But the basics of him having something that seems to be cursed, I thought, had a lot of meat to get into."

Harington further touched upon the possibility of him appearing in not just Chloe Zhao’s adaptation of Eternals but playing his superhero character in future Marvel films. "That's the first thing you learn in this industry. There is no certainty. To go in with any kind of feeling that something's certain is setting yourself up for failure," he said. "I genuinely do go by the rule that this is the project, this is what I'm doing. I take it with the information that there's a path and a future that could happen."

He added, "But I don't assume that that future is going to happen, because I think that's foolish." 

During the same interview further shared his experience while filming the superhero epic. “I filmed in the last few weeks of filming. I turn up at the read through at the start, saw them all fresh faced. Then I came in at the end, saw them all haggard and knackered, and did my bit. So it was a pleasurable experience for me. It shot in London, on location about half an hour drive from my house, if that. I could literally go from home. It was a wonderful experience all around. And I really loved my role, just being the person who reflects the humans in the movie. Genuinely, my job [was] to come across as a good guy, a stand-up guy, a nice guy. It seemed a pretty pleasurable experience for this job.
