UFC fighter, Conor McGregor was confirmed to appear by his boss and we’ve also been too that nondescript characters such as ‘Young Lord’ and ‘Lovely Lady’ will also be introduced. Tom Hopper (who you’ll know from Merlin) was also spotted on location and is rumoured to be playing the recast of Dickon Tarly. Oscar winner Jim Broadbent will get a major role, as well as Dickensian actor Joseph Quinn who will take the role of a brand new character named Joner. There’s New Cast Members.Īs well as some old faces returning, we’ll be meeting new characters too. Why? Well, Jason Momoa was spotted in Ireland with show runners and then later fuelled by a photo with co-star Kit Harington. There’s even chat that Khal Drago (who also died) is making his comeback. However, he has since been spotted landing in Belfast and Spain - the latter of which he was rumoured to have been filming with Ser Davos and Tyrion. Iain Glen (Ser Jorah) and Joseph Mawle (Benjen Stark) have both been spotted in Belfast and Lady Lyanna (Bella Ramsey) is reportedly teaming up with Kristofer Hivju (Torment) for her return.Īs for Gentry, Joe Dempsie revealed that he would “love to be involved” and that “there’s a lot of unanswered questions about Gentry and the longer it goes on, the more obvious his absence becomes”. That said, Sophie Turner has also hinted that “not all” of the current cast will make it to the end.
But, that didn’t exactly help Natalie’s character going up in flames at the end of season six. A point which was proven when The Hollywood Reporter claimed that Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams and Natalie Dormer had signed until the final season. However, according to sources, just because they signed the contract stating that they would film, doesn’t mean that HBO and the creators of Game Of Thrones have 100% written their characters into the final season. Kit Harington, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau all signed up for the seventh season back in 2014!
