If you thought people had let Frozen‘s hit song “Let It Go” go yet, you’re sorely mistaken.
The catchy tune is back in full force, and this time it’s being sung by Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams as she drives an electric vehicle in Audi’s new Super Bowl commercial.
Williams spends the entirety of the commercial channeling her inner Elsa and belting the song made popular by Idina Menzel. She does so to encourage people to let go of the past and embrace a more sustainable future.
The commercial shows Williams cruising in Audi’s e-tron Sportback past traffic jams, garages, and closing gas stations. Audi hopes that the visual will encourage viewers to join them in their sustainability commitment. Read more…

Game of Thrones star Kit Harington is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and it will also mean a House Stark reunion.
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige announced during Disney’s D23 Expo convention in Anaheim, California on Saturday that Harington, who played Jon Snow in HBO’s Game of Thrones for eight seasons, will play Dane Whitman, aka the Black Knight, in the upcoming superhero film The Eternals.

The announcement also means that fans will be seeing a GoT reunion of sorts — Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in the HBO series, had previously been announced to play the all-powerful Ikaris in the movie.
Madden and Harington’s Game of Thrones “sister” and Queen of the North Sophie Turner is also part of the MCU; she plays Jean Grey in the X-Men films and reprised her role in Dark Phoenix in June.
The Eternals are a group of super-powered humanoids who made their first appearance in Marvel comics in 1976, created by revered artist Jack Kirby. In the comics, the Eternals physically resemble regular people, but have super powers, such as super strength, flight, teleportation, mind control, shape-shifting, and energy projection, according to Variety.

The Eternals cast also includes Kumail Nanjiani (who plays the cosmic-powered Kingo), Angelina Jolie (portraying the fierce warrior Thena), Salma Hayek (spiritual leader Ajak), Lauren Ridloff (the super-fast Makkari, the first deaf hero in the MCU), Brian Tyree Henry (the intelligent inventor Phastos), Lia McHugh (the eternally young Sprite), Don Lee (Gilgamesh), and Gemma Chan (the humankind-loving Sersi).
At the D23 Expo, Feige also unveiled concept art images of each character, and the key art teaser.
The film is set for release on November 6, 2020 as part of the new phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Maybe, just maybe, we’ll finally see The Winds of Winter, the sixth book in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” saga (aka Game of Thrones), sometime soon. The pressure is on — author George R.R. Martin seems willing to go to jail if it’s not wrapped by summer 2020.
With HBO’s television version of the Game of Thrones saga completed, attention has turned back to Martin’s book series, upon which the show was based. Air New Zealand even created the following ad to try to woo Martin way down south, pitching the island country as the perfect place for him to finish Winds. Read more…
