Kit Harington will be making an appearance at the PopCon Middle East and GameExpo in Dubai, which takes place from November 10 to 13 at Dubai Expo City.
It has not been confirmed if Harington will join any panel discussions during the pop culture event, but fans will have the opportunity for meet-and-greets with the Game of Thrones star.
Later this year, Harington is slated to star in Blood for Dust alongside Scoot McNairy and Josh Lucas. In the thriller, which is set to start filming next month, he plays Ricky, an arms dealer who reunites with old friend and colleague Cliff (McNairy), who is a down-on-his-luck travelling salesman.
In June, Harington made headlines for expressing his interest in returning to the role that made him a household name, in a spin-off series to Game of Thrones, unofficially titled Snow. Despite a report from The Hollywood Reporter stating that the sequel was in “early development,” it has not been confirmed that the show will come to fruition.
It seems unlikely that Harington will be able to divulge any details about the George RR Martin-inspired series, however his appearance at the first PopConME is a positive sign for fans of the Game of Thrones universe. [Source]

The new season of the Channel 4 docuseries is also set to star Keira Knightley.
Three years on from its first season on Channel 4, documentary series My Grandparents’ War is set to return, with Game of Thrones and Marvel star Kit Harington reportedly leading the celebrity line-up.
The Sun reports that Harington will be joined in the new season by Hollywood star Keira Knightley, singer-songwriter Emeli Sandé and the Harry Potter series’ Toby Jones, each of whom will appear in their own episodes.
According to The Sun, the series will once again look at conflicts experienced by each of the stars’ relatives and how these have affected and shaped their family histories.
The first season set a precedent for A-list talent at the forefront of each episode, with outings starring Helena Bonham-Carter, Mark Rylance, Kristin Scott Thomas and Carey Mulligan.
Details regarding the new season are currently largely under wraps, but a source has reportedly told The Sun that confirmed filming locations will range “from the killing fields of Kenya to the mountains of Monte Cassino in Italy”.
The source continued: “The producers say the season will touch on the most controversial spying operation of the 20th Century as well as the fight for independence in Africa. But if their stories are anything like those of the celebrities who featured in season one, then this should be captivating.”
