Here's a brief description of the character and his skills. This is meant for him.

Quote:

The Black Knight was originally a normal athletic human being with no superhuman powers. While sharing the gann josin with Sersi, his strength, speed, and other physical abilities were mildly enhanced. After the gann josin link was broken, Whitman returned to being a normal human being. As part of his new role as the Pendragon, however, Whitman has gained minor mystical abilities, such as the ability to see through mystical illusions by looking "past the mundane."

Whitman is an excellent swordsman whose skills have allowed him to be the best Swordsman in combat. He is also an excellent fighter in general, able to hold his own against such skilled fighters as Captain America and Wolverine. He is also an expert horseman. Additionally, Whitman started out as a scientist, though specializing in physics (having earned a master's degree in physics), he is proficient in a wide array of advanced sciences and technologies, including genetic and mechanical engineering, and continues to approach things from a scientific perspective more often than not, despite his ties to the world of magic. He has also demonstrated good leadership skills as leader of both the Avengers and Ultraforce. He has strong strategic and tactical skills.

Thanks for opening this thread, Lindsay

It's so exciting!

Ohh thanks for the description!! I had no idea who this character was and you're right, it's perfect for Kit

I LOVE him already

Thanks for opening this!

So happy for Kit!

I also have no idea about The Eternals and his character but ever since I heard about this movie, I've been sort of reading up.

I was already gonna watch this even before Kit was cast. This looks to be a series of movies much like The Avengers was but I'm not sure if Kit's character, Dane, will be in all of the (planned) movies. His character is a non-Eternal but is a superhero.

***Si_Crazy*** · 08-27-2019, 07:13 PM

^ I think his character might be introduced in The Eternals and probably expand to have his own (sort of like Black Panther in Captain America Civil War), or he could be like Bucky and appear in all the The Eternals movies from that point on

I'll be happy with either TBH

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 08-27-2019, 09:05 PM

I'd be happy with either as well. As long as we get more of the Black Knight.

~~I'm just dying to get a BTS of Kit & Richard working together again.~~

Thanks for the link! Ohh so exciting all the possibilities for his character!!

Lindsay I'm like you, I can't wait for us to get pictures and interviews with Kit and Richard together

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 08-28-2019, 08:32 PM

I need someone to ask Richard for his reaction when he found out that he's gonna work with Kit again.

Quote:

“He’s a really amazing actor, and this part came up in The Eternals film that we’re doing,” Feige told Good Morning America at D23 Expo over the weekend, where Harington was revealed as the newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “We were so happy when he agreed to join, and it is a part that could perhaps grow into something else in the future.”

***Si_Crazy*** · 08-29-2019, 06:01 AM

I really want to see both Richard and Kit talking about this

The character seems to have a lot of potential inside the MCU

I'm happy that Kit got such a role

***L i N d $ @ y*** · 08-29-2019, 10:31 PM

Yeah plus that clip when Kit was announced at D23 had it zoomed out to reveal his picture on-stage so we didn't see Richard's reaction.

***Si_Crazy*** · 08-30-2019, 08:34 PM

Yeah, I would've loved to have seen Richard's face... as well as everybody else since Angelina did say in an interview that she didn't know Kit was going to be in the movie
