We've already seen Peter Dinklage in the MCU as Eitri, we're set to see Richard Madden in Eternals and both Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams have been in those other Marvel movies fans don't like to talk about as much and now there's another Game Of Thrones star coming to Marvel.

According to Deadline, Kit Harington - Jon Snow himself - is currently working on a deal to join the MCU. That report suggests he's set to appear in an upcoming film, though there's always a chance he's set for one of the Disney+ shows. Moon Knight might not be out of the question.

It's not at all surprising that Harington is being sought for a role, given his meteoric rise off the back of the HBO show and it was only a matter of time before a superhero property came calling. Fans had been calling for him to play Wolverine, but that's probably not the one he's lined up for. Mr Fantastic maybe? Again, that's probably too far into the distance, but who knows. It's an interesting question all the same.

Could we even have confirmation of his role as early as D23's movie panel? Stranger things have happened.
