I don’t know what they’re doing with the movie, but Mahershala is a treasure. Zhao told Fandom that she was given the responsibility of setting up Blade’s part in the larger MCU, saying: Whitman?” My initial guess was that the voice belonged to Nathan Garrett, Whitman’s uncle, who would explain to Dane the legacy of the Black Knight and his powers… eventually.īut then Chloe Zhao went and let the cat out of the bag that the person speaking was Mahershala Ali, aka Blade! The daywalker has made his official debut in the MCU. Right before the scene ends, and Dane Whitman reaches to pick up the Ebony Blade, a voice is heard from off screen asking, “Sure you’re ready for that, Mr. However, there’s a major hint at the end of the Kit Harington scene that points to where we might see The Black Knight make his official debut in the MCU. In my opinion, if Marvel is going to move forward with a Black Knight story, it’d be an excellent fit on Disney+, where exciting (but kind of second-tier heroes) explore multi-episode plots.

When he is mortally wounded in battle, he confesses his true identity and long list of crimes to his nephew, Dane Whitman, who then takes over the Black Knight mantle and becomes a hero once again. Over the years, Garrett became a member of the Masters of Evil, fighting the likes of Giant-Man, Thor, and Iron Man. Angered by this decision, Garrett but his scientific knowledge to use to craft high-0tech weaponry and serve as The Black Knight, but being a supervillain. The next person to find the Ebony Blade was Nathan Garrett, a biologist and descendant of Sir Percy, but also someone who was deemed unworthy of the Blade by Percy’s spirit. So, let’s dive into some of the top Eternals questions for Kit Harington and try our best to answer them. To that end, Zhao and Marvel kept pushing the envelope in the two end-credits scenes for Eternals, pointing at exciting new directions that the series can go that are both cosmic (hey there, Harry Styles as Thanos’ brother) and grounded (Kit Harington, come on down).įor this piece, I want to explain the Kit Harington scene, and fill in details from the comics on who we expect the Game of Thrones star to play in the MCU at some point in the future.

The stakes are high, and the methods in which Zhao spun this tale are delightfully different than most of the movies we have seen before in the MCU.

Chloe Zhao’s Eternals was a big-swing breath of fresh air that opened up the storytelling avenues in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in exciting ways, introducing heroes who have been on our planet (and many other planets) for 7,000 years, then pitting them against villains named Celestials that harvest the energies of entire planets.
