Kit Harington has given some pretty disappointing updates about his future in the Game of Thrones and MCU universes.

But, in aninterview with Screen Rant, Harington revealed that the show is no longer in the works. “Currently, it’s not [in development]. Currently, it’s off the table, because we all couldn’t find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough,” he shared. “So, we decided to lay down tools with it for the time being. There may be a time in the future where we return to it, but at the moment, no. It’s firmly on the shelf.”

Plus, Harington played Dane Whitman, AKA Black Knight, in the MCU movieEternals, but it sounds like he won’t be reprising that role, either. “The honest answer is nothing’s in the works at the moment,” he toldScreen Rant. “If they decide to use the character in something, or as a solo thing, I’d be very excited by it. But I don’t think it’s planned at the moment.”

At the moment, it’s unclear if there’ll be a follow-up to Eternals, with no further projects featuring those characters announced as part ofMarvel Phase 5orMarvel Phase 6.

Up next for the Game of Thrones universe isHouse of the Dragon season 2, which is arriving in June. Marvel, meanwhile, has Deadpool 3 arriving this July. You can see our guide to all theupcoming Marvel movies and TV showsfor everything else the MCU has in store.
