Overview
- Monday, Kit Harington told podcast host Josh Horowitz that meetings with Marvel executive Kevin Feige included interest but no concrete plan for Dane Whitman after Eternals.
- Harington said he was never told he would appear alongside Mahershala Ali in Blade and that Marvel did not approach him about a proposed Midnight Sons film.
- The actor outlined a creative pitch for the character in which the Ebony Blade drives an addiction-like bloodlust that could turn a hero into a villain, and he said he remains open to returning.
- Reporting across outlets ties the lack of follow-up to Eternals’ weak reception and a stalled Blade reboot with Mahershala Ali, which removed a likely path for Whitman’s next appearance.
- The episode underscores Marvel’s long-running practice of testing characters with post-credits teases and shows how shifting priorities and rewrites can leave those teases dormant for years.
