The Stark brothers are back! At the Disney D23 Expo last month, Marvel announced that Kit Harington would be joining his former Game of Thrones co-star, Richard Madden, in The Eternals. The last time the two actors shared a scene together was in Season 1 of Thrones, so yeah, it's been a while.

Entertainment Weekly made sure to speak with Richard Madden minutes after the announcement was made to catch his reaction. The 33-year-old actor shared, “It’s brilliant. It’s been about 10 years since we’ve worked together, I think. So we’ve moved on a bit onto different things, so I’m really excited to get back on set.”

Other cast members of The Eternals chimed in on the relationship between their Game of Thrones characters, Robb Stark and Jon Snow. Don Lee asked, “He was your brother, right?” Salma Hayek chimed in and said, "Half brother! Fake brother!" Yes, their relationship was a bit complicated, but they were technically cousins.

The Eternals, directed by Chloé Zhao, also stars Angelina Jolie, Barry Keoghan, Gemma Chan, Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, and Lia McHugh, in addition to Madden, Harington, Lee and Hayek.
