Eternals KIT HARRINGTON is Dane Whitman aka BLACK KNIGHT

[Loden Greatstorm]

I hope we get some set pics of Kit in costume.

 

[Kev4000]

Im really curious if my Problem with KIT was the screenplan in GOT or if I really not a fan of his acting aka looking broodling.

 

[Dark Raven]

I hope we get some set pics of Kit in costume.

Kit in his kit you mean.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Kit in his kit you mean.

Haha indeed.

 

[Dark Raven]

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Anyone else hope we see the Black Knight in his full traditional costume?

Sort of. At the same time, I don’t want Kit looking too much like Jon Snow again, so I’m open to them changing the costume up a bit, or removing some of the medieval armor elements.

I would love that and I would love a solo movie.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I just really want to see his movie costume.

I just really want to see his movie costume.

Yeah, that’s where I am at right now, I just hope the helmet isn’t even excluded like it often has been with Thor.

Spot on! Let'd hope for the best.

Embarrassing to admit... I'm struggling remembering the deal with the Ebony Blade and its blood lust affect.

Does the blade have any connections to vampires or Dracula in Marvel Comics? Am I getting my wires crossed?

 

[Albright]

I think there was a storyline with the original Black Knight in Wundagore connected to Chton

 

[metaphysician]

I think the Ebony Blade's curse has been repeatedly retconned, but I don't recall it ever being connected to vampires. Also, the curse is not always bloodlust. Sometimes it transforms you into a giant monster ( especially if the wrong person tries to use it ), sometimes it makes you a 'living blade' wherein anything that touches you is cut. It varies, the only consistent thing being "Killing a human with the Ebony Blade is bad juju".

 

[psylockolussus]

I wonder if they have a plan for him to headline a D+ series. A solo movie seems too ambitious right now.

Eternals' Kit Harington Teases Black Knight's Future in the MCU

He should.at least get a D+ series.

At one time, the curse was basically the sin of all the killing done by it in the crusades, but I think the blade itself is the problem these days.

[psylockolussus]

That looks really fancy.

 

[TheVileOne]

I thought he was OK for his brief screentime, but this wasn't his story.

 

[psylockolussus]

So should we eXpect a solo movie or a streaming series? I don't want him to just appear in Eternals.

I feel like a Black Knight movie would be different especially if it is set in Europe. I don't know a lot about the ip,but from the covers I've seen, it could be a medieval-ish kind of superhero film.

 

[TheVileOne]

In the comics Dane Whitman is actually American. He's British in the movie.

 

[psylockolussus]

He's British in the movie.

Well thats what I thought because of Kit Harrington.

Brits sometimes play Americans on film and vice versa.

While true, there's been at least some weird inconsistencies with this. I think it was most inconsistent right after he traveled through time (so some of the stories where he was inhabiting his ancestor and the black and white British Black Knight/Captain Britain stories), so I chalked it up to him having absorbed the accent around him while back in time, but I've seen some other times that people seem to have forgotten.
