Game of Thrones star Kit Harington rose to fame with his role of Jon Snow and has become a household name ever since. Harington has come a long way ever since, playing iconic roles in several anthology series, and recently made headlines with his role in the MCU movie Eternals. Even though his character Dane Whitman aka The Black Knight’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe feels uncertain, and even the actor himself “knows nothing” about it, Harington is making huge progress with the variety of roles he is bagging, the latest one being that of a famous monster.
Harington will now be seen as Frankenstein’s monster, his next role in the new movie Mary’s Monster, which will explore Mary Shelley’s mental struggle to write Frankenstein. Harington’s Frankenstein will be showcased as the manifestation of the Monster in the author’s mind, with The Rising’s Clara Rugaard playing the part of Mary Shelley. CODA’s Ferdia Walsh-Peelo will star as the famous writer’s husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Normal People’s Sebastian De Souza will portray Lord Byron.
Here’s the official synopsis of the film:
“Terrified of giving voice to her own dark, transgressive thoughts yet at the same time driven creatively by them, Mary is seduced by her own inner monster catapulting her into a dangerous, destructive psychological romance the likes of which has never been seen before.
Realizing the monster is inextricably linked to her own mental state, feeding off her own emotions, Mary’s only route to salvation is in bringing him to life. To survive, to heal, to finally be heard, her voice must become… monstrous.”
