Kit Harington to play "Call of Duty" villain in "Infinite Warfare"

- Kit Harington is confirmed to appear in "Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare". Instead of playing a hero, the Jon Snow of "Game of Thrones" is expected to do a motion-capture performance to play a villain in the upcoming video game, AceShowbiz reports.

The "Pompeii" actor will be the face of "Infinite Warfare" enemy faction, the SDF (Settlement Defense Front). Guy Ritchie who previously directed a live-action "Call of Duty" trailer is officially tapped to helm Harington's scenes.

"Kit is an amazing talent, and the consummate pro," says Infinity Ward's narrative director Taylor Kurosaki. "Our story is about an epic showdown of opposing forces, and Kit immersed himself into the role and truly became the embodiment of the enemy, the Settlement Defense Front. We can't wait for fans to see Kit play an entirely different kind of character."
