Game of Thrones cast on who should win the Iron Throne
The cast and crew of Game of Thrones hit Comic-Con on Friday, and in between taking shots and posing with their Funko action figures, they discussed something on the minds of many show fans: Who should end up on the Iron Throne?
At the moment, Cersei Lannister has ownership of the coveted seat. But even actress Lena Headey, who plays Cersei, doesn't think that will last long. "Not a chance in hell. It’s a moment of punctuation in the madness," she said to EW after the Thrones season finale last month.
So who does the cast think deserves the spot? Read on below for answers from the panel participants.
Miguel Saponik (director): "I would be very happy if they shared it, but I don’t think that’s going to happen."
Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos): "The only hint we have of this is George R.R. Martin said the ending will be 'bittersweet' and that doesn’t give too much away. Knowing the deranged minds we’re dealing with on this show… I have an image of a White Walker siting on the Iron Throne… The Night King with a leg over an arm smoking a cigar."
John Bradley-West (Samwell Tarly): "It’s hard… what if I’m right, someone flashes back to this, and JB spoils it all? Just out of pure loyalty, I’d say... Jon. Just because that means I may be there until the end."
Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei): "I have a similar motive in that I have to say Daenerys for the loyalty thing, she’s a good girl, she can be very ferocious but she generally wants to care for people… but at the same time I’m also excited for the Starks to come together so who knows?"
Conleth Hill (Lord Varys): "I know, but I can’t say.”
Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark): "I think I’d want Littlefinger on the throne [crowd boos]. I just think it’d be fun, it’d be quirky, sadistic. We like that kind of thing. Come on we all watch Game of Thrones."
Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton): "I would melt the thing down and have a democracy." [Crowd cheers]
Faye Marsay (Waif): "Probably Arya, because if I don’t say Maisie Williams, she’d probably beat me up with a stick."
Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark): "I think we should have a four pronged Stark dream team…. With Bran just sitting in the corner with a tree."
Kristian Nairn (Hodor): "I think the Throne’s probably not going to be important by the end of the show, I think there will be a huge battle between the Night King and Daenerys… I think Westeros deserves someone with honor and integrity so I think Brienne (actress Gwendoline Christie) would be good." [crowd cheers, people stand]
