Marvel’s VFX Supervisor teases Kit Harington’s Black Knight’s Appearance in Blade
The most recent entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s ever-expanding roster, the Eternals, has garnered mixed reviews from the critics, but has been liked overall by the audience. the film featured two famous Game of Thrones stars, Kit Harington and Richard Madden, who played Dane Whitman and Ikaris respectively. If you haven’t watched the film yet, we would suggest you avoid reading what’s coming next.
In the end credits scene of the Eternals, fans got the first tease of Dane Whitman’s transformation into the Black Knight as Kit Harington heard a voice from behind if he is ready to take on the Ebony Sword, his character’s signature weapon from Marvel comics. The voice has been revealed to be that of Blade, Marvel’s daywalker superhero. Now, according to a new source, there’s a possibility that Harington’s Black Knight might also appear in the upcoming Blade movie.
Eternals VFX Supervisor Stephane Ceretti recently chatted with ComicBook.com about the various effects used in the film. While speaking about the magnetic effects of the Ebony Blade in the post-credits scene, Ceretti explained that the mystical sword will be used in Blade in a bigger capacity than it was in Eternals, teasing Black Knight’s inclusion.
“The funny thing is my second on the show, which is Mårten Larsson my additional supervisor, is actually going to be supervising Blade very soon,” Ceretti told us. “So I told him, I said, ‘I’m giving that to you as a gift, use it wisely and make good out of it.’ But I’m sure it’s going to do actually even better.”
