Game Of Thrones is nearly back with its eighth and final season and rumour has it Jon Snow could well and truly have a target on his back.
He may have come back from the dead once, but it’s been heavily hinted that the Night King could be hoping to finish Snow off. Yup, we’re not so sure we could handle that either.
Vladimir Furdik – the man behind the Night King – has been teasing fans ahead of the return of Game Of Thrones in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly.
He said: ‘People will see he has a target he wants to kill and you will find out who that is.’
Furdik wasn’t giving anything away, but he did add: ‘There’s also that moment [in Hardhome, season five] when Jon Snow was on the boat and the Night King looked at him and raised his arms.
‘There’s a similar and even stronger moment between Jon and the Night King this time.’
Furdik teased that his favourite moment playing the Night King is ‘still to come’ (so we’re guessing it happens in season eight) and he shed a bit of light on his ice cold character.
‘He never wanted to be the Night King. I think he wants revenge. Everybody in this story has two sides — a bad side and a good side,’ he explained. ‘The Night King only has one side, a bad side.’
Fans have finally got a first look at the new season, with HBO dropping its first trailer for season eight on Wednesday.
And as expected it’s caused a bit of a stir, with fans thinking it’s confirmed a long-running theory about the Winterfell crypts.
Game Of Thrones season 8 comes to HBO and Sky Atlantic on April 14.
