MCU: 10 Supernatural Characters Who Will DOMINATE Phase 5

10. Black Knight

There were plenty of wild rumours doing the rounds ahead of Avengers: Endgame's release, with one of the most popular being that the microverse from the Ant-Man films would introduce Black Knight to the MCU.

That didn't pan out of course, but Marvel has since confirmed that the character will make their MCU debut in Chloe Zhao's Eternals, which is set to release (if all goes according to plan) in November 2021. Game of Thrones' Kit Harrington will portray the Dane Whitman incarnation of Black Knight in the film, which will see Jack Kirby's cosmic gods interact with humanity following the events of Avengers: Endgame.

Little is known about the plot for Eternals or even how it will use Black Knight, but given Whitman's status as an Avenger in the comics - as well as Harrington's own popularity following Game of Thrones - one would assume that Marvel won't want this to be the character's sole on screen appearance.

Black Knight has all the potential there to be a key part of the next generation of Avengers, and while he's set to make his live action debut in a cosmic film, he's still a supernatural character at heart. Whitman wields the Ebony Blade in the comics, a sword enchanted by Merlin himself. He also wears mystical armour and rides a magical winged horse called Strider into battle, which is obviously incredibly cool.
