A new series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has been loved and appreciated by many fans of George R.R. Martin's fantasy world this year. This series is set in Westeros long before the events of Game of Thrones’ first season. It gives audiences a glimpse into the land of Westeros that feels both familiar and brand-new because of the many different and new characters. The series has a much lighter tone created by the relationship between Dunk and Egg, which has caused fans to have great expectations for this new series.In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, both Dunk and Egg will be familiar to those who have read George R.R. Martin's novels. They will also have a much smaller story arc than that of most of the other major characters. However, the most significant difference between this new series and the previous one is in how the story of Dunk and Egg will be told. This new series will have a much more positive and warm tone than the previous shows did.One connection that many viewers were unaware of initially was that one actor from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has also portrayed a major character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This connection was only revealed to fans once they began doing their research on the cast of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Most viewers would never have guessed that the same actor portrayed both characters based on how differently they would recognize him in the two shows.The show takes place about one hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones. Dunk is a young knight who is brave but inexperienced. Egg is his small squire who has secrets of his own. Together, they travel across Westeros, facing small troubles and learning more about the world. This is a time when the Targaryen family still sits on the Iron Throne, and the memory of dragons is still fresh in people's minds. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms brings this period to life with calm storytelling and detailed surroundings.One of the characters who appears in the story is Plummer. He is played by Tom Vaughan-Lawlor. Plummer works as the steward at Ashford, serving the family who rules the land. When viewers saw him on screen, he seemed like a typical character from Westeros. He had long hair, simple clothes, and a quiet presence. Nothing about him suggested a link to another major franchise. That is why fans were so surprised when they learned about his other role.The unexpected connection of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with MarvelBefore he appeared on this fantasy show, Vaughan-Lawlor portrayed Ebony Maw, one of the primary antagonists from the Black Order in Marvel films. This was the group Thanos had assembled to help him locate each of the Infinity Stones. His immense power is complemented by his calm demeanour, high intellect, disturbing looks, and imposing physique. He is first seen in Avengers: Infinity War, but he was able to appear again in Avengers: Endgame due to a time-travel phenomenon.Many people do not connect these two roles because many different types of special effects were used to create the character of Ebony Maw. Most viewers would never have had a chance to see what Vaughan-Lawlor actually looked like while playing the character. Ebony Maw was depicted with grey skin and elongated features. Most of his features, including his skin color, head shape, hand shape, and body length, were created through digital effects. So, the majority of viewers who saw the films would probably not recognize Vaughan-Lawlor.Hitodama_Drone @_Hitodama_LINKPeople rightly raving about the casting in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, but for me, one that's going under the radar is Tom Vaughan-Lawlor as Plummer. That first scene especially is incredible, and his northern accent and delivery are so good.In A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Vaughan-Lawlor looks completely different. He appears as an ordinary man from the world of Westeros. This made it easy for people to overlook the connection. Only after the cast list was shared did fans start putting the pieces together. Many reacted with surprise online, saying they never expected a crossover between these two very different worlds. The revelation quickly became a talking point among viewers of both franchises.What does this mean for the future of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?Fantasy drama A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 introduced new characters, including Dunk and Egg. It also presented numerous other characters who could potentially appear in future sequels or resurface throughout the entirety of the series. However, there is no confirmation concerning how frequently they will appear in the remaining seasons of the show.Additionally, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms will be premiering its new season sometime during late 2027 or thereabouts. There will also be many additional seasons from other Game of Thrones shows, like House of the Dragon, which will premiere its next season sometime in 2026 and has yet to announce any additional details beyond this. The connection between these new series, including A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has allowed viewers to connect back to the Game of Thrones franchise. It has also given these individual series time to develop as distinct, separate shows while allowing plenty of time between seasons to generate interest for future installments.No matter whether Tom Vaughan-Lawlor reprises his role as Plummer or not, the small revelation regarding his role has become an amusing addition for not only fans of Marvel but fantasy as well. This shows how actors may interchangeably work across quite different realms of entertainment and still have the power to surprise audiences by doing so. In addition, this provides the audience with some interest if they are fond of searching for hidden links or connections between their many favourite movies and series.As of now, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continues streaming on HBO Max, where audiences get to see the more peaceful and private side of Westeros. The series continues to build anticipation for what lies ahead in this earlier chapter of the saga. Fans remain eager to see how the story of Dunk and Egg will further unfold in the seasons to come.
