In addition to the previously announced cast, Feige confirmed the reports that Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has joined the cast of the film and will portray the non-Eternal Dane Whitman, a.k.a. The Black Night, as well as revealing that Gemma Chan will playing the humankind-loving Sersi, with Barry Keoghan as the aloof loner Druig.
