Rather, Harington would be playing Dane Whitman, more commonly known as Black Knight to hardcore Marvel fans. Suffice to say, those fans hoping to see him as Wolverine are furious.

So instead of casting Kit Harington as Wolverine and really giving him a huge role they type cast him and basically make him Jon Snow ๐๐

Well, at Least He’ll Still Kick Ass
Kind of disappointed that Kit Harington is playing Black Knight. Was hoping he was going to be Wolverine. Oh well. Iโm sure he will kick ass in The Eternals.

Shame
Itโs all good, dude. He was quite prominent in Avengers books in the โ90s, so Iโm pretty familiar with him. That said, Kit shouldโve been the new Wolverine. Such a shame.

Kit Harrington not being Wolverine is a human rights violation.
