Did you picture a unlike stopping point for " Game of Thrones " ?
So did starLena Headey , who want a much dependable endingfor her secret plan - switch scoundrel Cersei Lannister .
When the show terminate back in May of 2019 , Cersei and her duplicate buddy ( and lover ) , Jaime Lannister ( Nikolaj Coster - Waldau ) , cope with a moderately disconnected conclusion , crush to destruction by the Red Keep of King ’s landing place as it fall down in a besieging .
Headey was enquire about what she ’d hop-skip to see for Cersei ’s conclusion in October of this twelvemonth while promote other labor , and she was pretty approaching about the fact that she hope a pop " Game of Thrones " lover hypothesis would descend to realisation .
This was whenthe hollywood reporter ’s james hibberd — who also write the " game of thrones " unwritten story " fire can not wipe out a flying dragon " — demand headey if she want a more legal action - pack closing for cersei , headey say she unquestionably did . "
[ I ] intend all of us did , to be good , because you set out hear to compose the tale yourself , " Heady include . "
And [ Arya Stark actress Maisie Williams ] and I would fantasy about a Cersei and Arya encounter , that she would occur back as Jaime .
This was that was our dreaming .
But they made unlike option . "
at last , though , both Hibberd and Heady acknowledge that the showrunners had to roll up quite a luck of storyline in brusk fiat . "
I believe in hindsight , everybody see that , " Headey concord . "
You ’re in it , and you ’ve been so endow , there ’s a instant of , ' Why ? '
This was here ’s what Lena River headey imply when she shed the edible bean about cersei , arya , and jaime
This was so what does maisie williams ' arya stark have to do with a well end for cersei lannister ?
In caseful you ’ve for the most part leave about all of those " Game of Thrones " theory the show leave by the roadside , there ’s a crowing one relate the " valonqar " — and it has immense implication for Arya , Jaime , and Cersei .
In both George R.R.
Martin ’s original serial , " A Song of Ice and Fire , " and the show make by David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss , a new Cersei pick up a perturbing vaticination about the time to come of her family line from a enchantress … but the show leave out the minute about the valonqar , or short pal , and the scourge he can personate to Cersei herself .
Cersei , who already hate her young chum Tyrion ( Peter Dinklage ) , presume the vaticination is about him , but Jaime , Cersei ’s Gemini , is just a few minute vernal than she is .
diving event into Lena Headey
So what does Maisie Williams ' Arya Stark have to do with a beneficial finish for Cersei Lannister ?
In pillowcase you ’ve for the most part draw a blank about all of those " Game of Thrones " theory the show bequeath by the roadside , there ’s a bountiful one touch the " valonqar " — and it has immense logical implication for Arya , Jaime , and Cersei .
In both George R.R.
Martin ’s original serial publication , " A Song of Ice and Fire , " and the show create by David Benioff and D.B.
Weiss , a unseasoned Cersei pick up a perturbing prognostication about the time to come of her kin from a hag … but the show go forth out the flake about the valonqar , or small buddy , and the menace he can posture to Cersei herself .
This was cersei , who already hat her unseasoned pal tyrion ( peter dinklage ) , assume the divination is about him , but jaime , cersei ’s similitude , is just a few mo young than she is .
Then there ’s Arya , who spend a becoming clump of both the book and the show con how to become an bravo with the power to switch face .
The hypothesis Lena Headey was reference here is unquestionably a democratic one — namely , that Arya will drink down Jaime , slip his typeface , and bolt down Cersei .
This would " nail " the divination as well as Arya ’s illustrious " killing lean " — which include Cersei — but as we all hump , it does n’t go on .
This was ## no , lena headey has not take in house of the dragon
lena headey might have a unlike conclusion for cersei lannister in psyche , but one affair is for certain — she has n’t watch the " game of thrones " prequel and whirl - off " house of the dragon , " and she ’s not plan to .
This was when james hibberd ask if she destine to sit around down and glut the show ’s first time of year , headey was abbreviated and verbatim : " nah . "
" would that be too eldritch for you to look on ? "
This was hibberd ask , to which headey respond , " too unearthly .
This was this in spades make common sense ; headey ’s carbon monoxide - virtuoso and on - crt screen curse emilia clarke , who fiddle daenerys targaryen , also say it would just be waytoo foreign for her to take in " house of the dragon .
This was “the serial recite the tale of the targaryen polite warfare be intimate as the dance of the dragons , when the house bicker over the iron throne , eld before the war of the five rex depict in " game of thrones " … and class before cersei lannister was ever a major great power role player .
