'Game of Thrones' Season 6 Spoilers: Bran Is Back
Another familiar face will be returning to the sixth season of the hit HBO series "Game of Thrones."
It was revealed that Isaac Hempstead-Wright will be back as Bran for season 6 of "Game of Thrones." Bran Stark was last seen in the finale of season 4 after he decided to begin controlling his psychic powers.
A teaser photo of Bran was recently released, revealing that a lot has changed for the character. It was reported that he will be playing an important role when the series returns this year. According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor shared some teasers about his characters.
He stated, "Previously Bran's seen tiny glimpses of future or past but never has he been very much in control in the situation. Now we're given looks into very important events in the past, present and future of this world and Bran is beginning to piece them together like a detective, almost as if he's watching the show. Equally, he's now discovering how crucial he could be in the Great War. It's quite 'Inception-y.'"
Hempstead-Wright's statement coincides with the previous reports regarding the series. It was reported that the series was in search for someone who could portray a younger version of Ned Stark. Fans are expecting to see a scene involving Ned and his sister at the Tower of Joy. With that, there is much anticipation to find out just what secret Ned has been hiding all along.
There are rumors that Lorena Stark had revealed that she had a child with Rhaegar Targaryen. It was also stated that Ned was expected to treat her son like his bastard child in order to keep him from harm. This means that Jon Snow is actually Lorena and Rhaegar's child, making him the heir to the Iron Throne.
"Game of Thrones" season 6 is expected to return to HBO this Apr. 8, 2016.
