With everyone and anyone turning up at some point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is always likely that some actors who have previously worked together will find themselves starring along side each other again once they do answer the Marvel call. When it was announced that Emilia Clarke would be joining Marvel’sSecret InvasionDisney+ series,Game of Thronesfans immediately called for a reunion between the actress and her former on screen lover Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow in the George R R Martin series and plays one of the few human characters to appear inEternals, which is now playing in cinemas.
While there is currently not much known about theSecret Invasionseries, down to the point we don’t even know yet whoEmilia Clarkewill be playing or what her role will be, there seems to be a lot of distance between that andEternalsto believe that they will cross paths in the immediate future, but if Clarke hangs around for a while in the franchise, then with all of these characters inhabiting the same universe at some point in time, who is to say that fans won’t get the reunion they have been asking for.
Speaking toThe Hollywood Reporter,Kit Haringtonasked if they had prepared to work with together again now they are both part of theMCU, to which he replied, “No, we haven’t. That would slightly blow my mind, I think, because me and Emilia had a lot together. So if we ended up crossing paths in a different franchise, I think we’d have a good old giggle about that.”
Harington has already managed to reteam with one of hisGame of Thronesco-stars inEternalsin the form of Richard Madden, who played Jon Snow’s half-brother Rob Stark. However, while many fans of long running shows are under the impression that this kind of reunion will bring some big moments of joy, in reality, their first meeting on the set ofEternalswas nothing short of boring.
“We really didn’t have a lot of time on set together onGame of Thrones,” he explained. “So it’s strange. Our closeness is not built in front of camera; it’s built behind camera. We’ve been very good friends for a long time, so it was nice to spend bit of time – albeit limited time – with a friend on set.” Harington added, “For fans ofGame of Thronesor fans of that universe, to see two major roles from that world in another one feels like a bigger thing than it does to me and Richard.”
Well that kind of puts a dampener on the whole thing, doesn’t it. So while there may be a burning desire for fans to see two of their favoriteGame of Thronescharacters get back together on screen in theMarvel Universe, if the reunion does happen sometime in the future, it is likely to mean a lot more to them than to Harington or Clarke.
Eternalsis out now in theaters, whileSecret Invasionis currently filming and expected to land on Disney+ sometime late next year. This story originated atThe Hollywood Reporter.
