Talking to Cinemablend in a recent interview, Harington answered a few questions regarding his character, Dane Whitman, in Eternals. That is when he was asked about the sword Ebony Blade, Black Knight’s (Whitman’s) signature weapon from Marvel comics, which was spotted in Eternals’ post-credit scene. Here’s what he did with it:

“Yeah. I mean, I did pick it up, yeah. If I see a sword, I have to like swing it about. That’s kind of a rule I have. So yeah, I did.”

He also ended up comparing his new prop with Jon Snow’s iconic Valyrian Steel sword Longclaw. He said:

“Lighter, lighter, and… yeah, just lighter and a bit smaller.”
