Zack Sharf Digital News Director Kit Harington is in full villain mode in his new movie “Blood for Dust,” which is exactly the kind of role he’s been looking for since his tenure as the heroic Jon Snow ended on HBO’s “Game of Thrones” in 2019. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor admitted that he grew tired of playing the hero by the end of his run as Jon Snow and is now more interested in tackling “fucked up” guys. “That is seemingly what I’ve been hunting a bit,” Harington said.

I’m not so interested in heroic roles, and if I am, they have to be pretty anti-hero-ish..” “My heart goes out to people playing heroes,” he continued. “They’re fucking hard to play and to make interesting.
It is more fascinating as an actor, I think, to empathize with someone deeply faulted and wrong, to try and find your way into why they are doing these things. [Playing] a guy who is doing all the right things and is driven by being good, it’s harder to do that. And I think people who do it successfully, who play classically heroic roles, are very talented actors.
But at the moment, I just find it more interesting looking for the fucked-up people.” Harington was preparing to reprise Jon Snow for a time as he was developing a “Game of Thrones” spinoff for HBO centered on the heroic character, but he confirmed earlier this month that the project has been shelved. Perhaps the actor’s resistance to traditional heroes steered him away from playing Jon Snow again. “I hadn’t really ever spoken about it, because it was in development,” Harington told ScreenRant about the

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Joseph Quinn is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Johnny Storm/Human Torch in the upcoming tentpole “The Fantastic Four,” starring opposite Pedro Pascal (Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Ben Grimm/The Thing) and Julia Garner (the Silver Surfer named Shalla-Bal). It’s a pivotal time for the MCU as debates over “superhero fatigue” rage on following the onslaught of 2023 comic book movie flops, which included Marvel’s own “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” and “The Marvels.” Is Quinn worried about Marvel superhero fatigue as he gears up to shoot “The Fantastic Four” and enter the MCU? He shrugged off any concerns in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

While the Marvel Studios narrative generally goes: an unimpeachable run at the box-office and with critics until 2023’s flop “The Marvels,” a closer inspection of the whole story arguably shows chinks starting to show in the armor during the pandemic. While it’s unfair to compare the box office of pandemic-era movies like “Shang Chi” and “Black Widow” to their non-pandemic counterparts, one film that seemed to take it in the teeth, regardless, was Chloe Zhao’s “Eternals” (read our review here).
Kit Harington, who played the beloved “Game of Thrones” character Jon Snow, delivered some heartbreaking news about the potential spinoff series on Tuesday. “I hadn’t really ever spoken about it, because it was in development,” Harington, 37, told Screen Rant.
Game Of Thrones spinoff centered around his character Jon Snow has been scrapped.The idea was first confirmed to have been in the works in 2022, with George RR Martin revealing that the series would pick up where the main show left off and was Harington’s own idea.Two years on, however, and Harington has said the show is no longer in development as producers “couldn’t find the right story to tell”.“I hadn’t really ever spoken about it, because it was in development,” he told Screen Rant. I didn’t want it leaked out that it was being developed, and I didn’t want the thing to happen where people kind of start theorizing, getting either excited about it or hating the idea of it, when it may never happen.
It was announced back in 2022 that HBO was working on a Jon Snow spin-off series to star Game of Thrones‘ Kit Harington, but it’s no longer happening.
