Kit Harington is jumping from one pop culture juggernaut to another.

The Game of Thrones alum has been set to star in The Eternals, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed at D23 Expo Saturday, playing Dane Whitman, also known in the comics as Black Knight.

Harington joins fellow Game of Thrones star Richard Madden in the movie, which also stars Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani, and Bryan Tyree Henry.

Besides Game of Thrones, Harington's recent projects include How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World and the BBC One miniseries Gunpowder.

The Eternals is being directed by Chloe Zhao, to open November 6, 2020.
