Never one to shy away from a little bit of stunt casting — Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Stephen Strange was essentially willed into existence by the fans — Marvel Studios went all-in when it comes to Eternals, as they cast the Stark brothers from Game of Thrones in lead roles.
Set to be released in November, Eternals will feature Richard Madden — known for his portrayal of Robb Stark on Thrones and David Budd on Bodyguard — as Ikaris and Kit Harrington — who famously played Jon Snow — as Dane Whiteman, a.k.a. Black Knight.
Now, with the film currently in production, fans have gotten their first look at the two beloved Thrones actors on the set of the film.
