Data analysis suggests the
Game of Thrones star is the most likely male actor of all time to have his character killed off. So are his days numbered in his new superhero film?
Almost nothing is known about The Eternals, Marvel’s first real jump into post-Endgame storytelling. We know that it’ll star
Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden and Brian Tyree Henry. We know that Kumail Nanjiani is so committed to his newfound superhero status that he recently transformed himself into a vacuum-packed bag of conkers for it. And we know that there’s a very good chance that Kit Harington will die in it.
To be clear, there is no insider information to suggest this. Nobody has leaked a script or posted a blurry set photo of Harington getting his face stabbed off with a lance or anything. But according to a new study, we do have maths on our side. Thanks to the tireless work of the unimpeachable data scientists who work at something called Buzz Bingo, we now know that Kit Harington is “the most likely male actor of all time to appear in a scene in which his character is killed”.
