Every Game of Thrones actor who has been in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Finn Jones

Finn Jones did a fine job playing Ser Loras Tyrell, Margaerys’ brother, heir to Highgarden, and also a lover to Renly Baratheon. The ‘Knight of Flowers’ was later tortured by the Faith Militant and died in the same wildfire explosion as his sister.

Jones played the lead character in Marvel’s Netflix show Iron Fist, Danny Rand. He reprised his role in The Defenders and had a small cameo in Luke Cage.

Jessica Henwick

Jessica Henwick briefly appeared on Game of Thrones as Nymeria Sand, one of the daughters of Oberyn Martell. Euron Greyjoy killed Nymeria and her sister Obara in the seventh season of the show.

Henwick starred opposite Finn Jones in Iron Fist as Colleen Wing, also appearing in The Defenders and Luke Cage. At the end of the second season, she is seen wielding the mantle of the Iron Fist, a power she now shares with Danny Rand.

Hannah John-Kamen

Hannah John-Kamen briefly appears in Game of Thrones as a widow of the Dosh Khaleen whom Daenerys befriends in Vaes Dothrak. She’s among the many to bow down to the Khaleesi when she emerges unburnt after setting the Khalar Vezhven on fire.

John-Kamen landed a huge role in the MCU as Ava Starr, a.k.a. The Ghost, in Ant-Man & The Wasp. Initially, it seemed like her character was an antagonist, but it was later revealed that she was constantly phasing out of existence due to a failed experiment. Scott Lang heads into the quantum realm in the mid-credits scene to collect enough energy to help her stabilize, which is when Thanos’ snap turned Hank, Janet and Hope into dust.
