Who Mr. Whitman In Eternals Really Is (MCU Future)
The MCU teased a mysterious future for its “Mr. Whitman” character in Marvel’s Eternals movie. Played by Kit Harington, Dane Whitman was one of the only two humans in the movie to have an important role in the story, with the other being Kingo’s valet, Karun (Harish Patel). However, being a mere mortal doesn’t mean that Dane won’t end up making a mark on the MCU at some point or another.
Introduced as Sersi’s boyfriend in the modern era, Harington's Dane Whitman was revealed to be a historian and a professor who worked at the Natural History Museum. Before the battle with the Deviants even began, Dane was able to deduce that his girlfriend was much more than what she appeared to be. Early on in the story, he was placed on the sidelines while Sersi (Gemma Chan) went off to assist her allies in saving the world. As someone who didn’t travel with the group, Dane only had a minor presence in Eternals. But though he was originally positioned to be just a love interest to one of the main protagonists, it eventually became clear that he has a story of his own to be told.
