**Warning, spoilers for Game of Thrones season eight episode one.**

Game of Thrones’ Bran Stark awkwardly reunited with Jaime Lannister at the end of the season eight premiere in the tensest stare-off of all time, but what’s going to happen next?

Although viewers have got a whole week to wait to discover how Bran will react to Jaime, actor Isaac Hempstead Wright has revealed his character isn’t really fazed by the whole shebang we’ve waited eight years for.

When grilled on his grand reunion with Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and whether he foresaw the reckoning, Isaac confessed: ‘You know, I’m not sure. In a sense, it’s just so irrelevant to Bran, really.

‘His sole focus is that he wants the living to survive. He’s on the side of the living.

‘He’s the ancient arch-nemesis of the Night King. He’s so far beyond any petty squabbling or wanting to get revenge or a comeuppance on someone.

‘He doesn’t view the world like that anymore.’

Isaac continued to Hollywood Reporter: ‘He just views things as timelines that intersect and have to end up in certain places.

‘I was thrilled to see that reunion, because it’s such a poignant moment, and such a cool thing for Jaime to come back here and realize that Bran is not Bran anymore — he’s f****** terrifying.

‘In terms of Bran, though? I don’t think he really cares. It’s just not on his list of priorities.’

Bran and Jaime weren’t the only characters to cross paths again in the Game of Thrones premiere, as Jon Snow (Kit Harington) finally met his siblings Sansa (Sophie Turner), Bran and Arya (Maisie Williams).

Game Of Thrones continues on HBO and Sky Atlantic next Sunday. Seasons one to seven are available to stream on NOW TV.
