Kit Harington, the British actor who plays Jon Snow in the mildly popular TV show Game of Thrones, is to star in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and will be playing the role of chief antagonist.
"Kit is an amazing talent and the consummate pro," narrative director Taylor Kurosaki said in a press release. "Our story is about an epic showdown of opposing forces and Kit immersed himself into the role and truly became the embodiment of the enemy, the Settlement Defense Front. We can't wait for fans to see Kit play an entirely different kind of character."
There's also another high profile name from the world of cinema attached to the project. Snatch and Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie has also been involved with the production.
"Guy Ritchie is a friend of the franchise, so it was great to have him back to work with us, assisting in bringing Kit Harington's character to life in Infinite Warfare," studio head Dave Stohl said. "It meant a lot to us to develop the role into everything it could be. We're excited about the performance Kit delivered and can't wait to get it out to the public. We're committed to delivering a compelling story with rich character depth and this was a special opportunity to add to our fantastic cast."
There's a short teaser trailer over on Facebook if you want to see more. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is expected on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 4th.
