Madden and Harington played Rob Stark and Jon Snow, respectively, in the epic series ‘Game of Thrones,’ which aired between 2011 and 2019.
Apparently, The Avengers misjudged the consequences of bringing back half the population that disappeared when Thanos snapped his fingers at the end of Infinity War (2018). While many were happy to see their loved ones and friends again, The energy that released that sudden return of millions of human beings to Earth released in turn the energy needed to set in motion a phenomenon that Eternals, the next Marvel film, has dubbed the Resurgence and that it brings with it the fearsome and ferocious creatures called Los Deviantes.
To face this new crisis, Ten new heroes will be revealed to the public this week when the film hits theaters worldwide. But, for fans of the saga Game of Thrones, the trailer moved for a special reason: the reunion of the actors who gave life to the brothers Jon Snow and Rob Stark in the award-winning series: Kit Harington and Richard Madden.
On Eternals, Madden will be Ikaris, a character with important leadership qualities and strength and who takes the initiative to bring the whole team together. Also, he has a romantic relationship with Sersi (Gemma Chan). Madden, 35, has played key roles in several Hollywood films, including 1917 (2019), Disney’s Cinderella (2015) and the Elton John biopic, Rocketman (2019).
Harington, although not part of the hero team, has the role of Dane Whitman, who, according to the comics, later becomes the Black Knight.
“We shot the tape before the pandemic, so it’s been a long journey together and at the same time it’s nice to be on a red carpet, in a premiereAfter everything that’s happened It is the first I have attended since everything happened (…). It’s a great team, which is amazing, and a great movie, a show, so we want to celebrate, ”Harington said in a short interview during his stint at the premiere in Rome, Italy. “No one has experienced any of these characters up close. Before, in the UCM (Marvel Cinematic Universe) you could see a character first and then see him hang out with others, but here they will meet all the characters that they are, at the same time, and they will have to process everything. I think it’s something they will enjoy”.
Although Harington’s character does not have much of a presence in the official trailer for the film, it could mean that Dane Whitman has a more important long-term role that Marvel Studios does not want to advance. “I have read who it could be and there is a possibility of a longer trajectory. Hopefully, I think this would be the tip of the iceberg for my character. I hope so, but I don’t know. I am as much in the dark as anyone else and I try not to live too far into the future. Even being in the sixth season of Game of Thrones, I never bragged about what would happen with the seventh! ”, He commented to Total Film.
Harington and Madden already shared success together during their time through the epic Game of Thrones, where they had central roles in the plot of intrigue, manipulation and heroism that lasted from its premiere in 2011 to its closure, in 2019.
The cast of Eternals The complete Kingo (Kumail Nanjiani), Thena (Angelina Jolie), Ajak (Salma Hayek), Gilgamesh (Don Lee), Druig (Barry Keoghan), Sprite (Lia McHugh), Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) and Phastos (Brian Tyree Henry) .
Under the direction of Chloé Zhao, Oscar winner for Nomadland (2020), this film from the beginning to a new phase of Marvel productions that will continue to catch their millions of fans.
