Marvel has confirmed another cast member from the world of Westeros is making the jump to the MCU.
Marvel Studios is steadily collecting famous faces from another universe, with the studio announcing its ninth actor from the Game of Thronesworld to join the MCU’s superhero ranks. The HBO fantasy epic produced dozens of household names throughout its eight-season run, which continues in spin-off shows House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Many of Game of Thrones’ top actors have since been picked up by Marvel Studios to play a variety of comic book characters.
The most recent Game of Thrones actor to officially join the Marvel Studios umbrella is Finn Jones, who was confirmed at NYCC 2026 to reprise his role as Danny Rand, aka the Iron Fist, in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3. While it was well-known that Jones would be appearing in the Daredevil revival series thanks to set photos from Season 3, Marvel Studios made it official when it brought the actor out on stage alongside fellow Defenders stars Krysten Ritter and Charlie Cox.
While Jones had been a part of the Marvel world prior to this, starring in Iron Fist on Netflix, this role in Daredevil: Born Again will be his first time working on a Marvel Studios project.
Fans of Game of Thrones know Jones for his role as Ser Loras Tyrell, the Knight of Flowers, who appeared in Seasons 1 through 6 of the original show. Loras began as the secret lover of Renly Baratheon, before moving to King’s Landing and becoming a member of the Kingsguard.
Jones’ return in the MCU is a long time coming as fans have eagerly been waiting to see the Defenders reunited following Matt Murdock and Jessica Jones’ team-up in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. That wish will come true in Season 3 of Daredevil: Born Again with Jones’ return, alongside Mike Colter as Luke Cage, which rounds out the quartet.
Jones’ return in Daredevil: Born Again also makes him the ninth Game of Thrones actor to join a Marvel Studios-produced project as a superhero.
