So while you might think Kit Harington would be pretty disappointed to see his Marvel future go up in smoke, the actor seems relatively optimistic about the whole thing. In a recent interview, he “joked” about feeling obligated to take Marvel’s offer, saying he felt obligated to do it because they opened the door for him.
Honestly, I don’t think this is a joke and I think it might help explain the failure. Eternal People And other Marvel bombs.
Simply put, it seems like an open secret that breaking into the MCU is a modern-day Hollywood haven, with talented actors getting paid a ton of money for not doing much.
If they really wanted to, they could even double-dip by attending comic conventions around the world and paying exorbitant fees to sign autographs and merchandise.
It was a pretty good deal, and at a time when these films each seemed like they would be huge hits, it was a win-win, because you could get paid a ton of money for a decade or more to play a role you didn’t feel passionate about.
