Because of that, you might think Kit Harington is very disappointed at his Marvel future going up in smoke, but the actor seems relatively sanguine about all of it. In a recent interview, he “joked” about feeling obligated to take Marvel’s offer, seeing it as something he felt obligated to do because they opened the door for him.
Honestly, though, I don’t think this was a joke, and I think it might help explain the failure of Eternals and other Marvel bombs.
In short, it seems to be an open secret that getting into the MCU is the modern-day Hollywood sinecure: talented actors get to pull down huge paychecks for doing very little work.
If they really want to, they can even double-dip, appearing at comic conventions around the world and signing autographs and merch for a hefty fee.
It’s a pretty sweet gig, and back when these movies seemed like each would be a huge success, it was a win/win: phone in a performance for a role you aren’t passionate about in exchange for a decade or more of huge paydays.
