Sansa Stark’s important new wardrobe in the final season of Game Of Thrones could hold a big clue.
Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa, revealed that she will become the ‘warrior of Winterfell’ in season eight, even getting some swanky new armour.
We won’t see it until the show returns in April, but according to Entertainment Weekly, the outfit is ‘a jet-black ensemble made of thick leather or similar material’.
Sansa has been making plans in Winterfell as the White Walkers prepare to attack Westeros.
This coupled with the armour and the fact she is transforming into a ‘warrior’ suggests that Sansa is getting ready for battle.
And if she’s wearing clothing to protect herself, is there a chance that she might get some action on the battlefield alongside her brother Jon Snow and his lover/aunt Daenerys Targaryen?
Sophie said of the armour: ‘She buttons herself up. I wanted her to have a bit of armour and be a bit more warrior like. She’s like the warrior of Winterfell.’
A rumoured battle scene coming up in season 8 took 55 nights to film, and has been described as the largest battle sequence on the show yet.
The famous Battle of the Bastards episode, which aired in season 6, only took around 27 nights to film so that should give an indication of how good this episode may be.
The final season will run for six extended episodes, and the cast have already warned fans that the finale ‘won’t please everyone’.
Game Of Thrones returns 15 April on Sky Atlantic
