As I delve into the captivating lives of these remarkable individuals who graced our screens as characters in the epic saga of “Game of Thrones“, I can’t help but marvel at their journey beyond Westeros.
Much like winter, a Game of Thrones movie is coming.
I’m absolutely thrilled to share that the epic cinematic journey, inspired by the brilliant George R.R. Martin’s masterpiece, “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series, is in its infancy at Warner Bros. Pictures! While the whispers about this project are still echoing softly, there’s no word yet on who will bring our favorite characters to life through their acting skills, or who will weave the tales with their writing genius, or who will steer this ship as director. But hey, every great story begins somewhere, and this is ours!
TopMob News has reached out to Warner Bros. Pictures for comment but has not heard back.
In other words, if a movie adaptation of the journey back to Westeros were made, it would essentially retrace the steps along the Kingsroad. Interestingly, this format was initially one of the proposed conclusions for the HBO series, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
In 2014, Martin mentioned that there could be a requirement for a wrapping-up element. He suggested something with a budget of around $100 million, enough to cover a runtime of about two hours. You see, those dragons can really grow quite large.
After the Wall came crashing down during the final season (airing from 2011 to 2019 on HBO’s streaming service), numerous spin-off series have been planned. Among them is “House of the Dragon“, a prequel series set about 200 years prior to the original storyline, which recently concluded its second season with a controversial finale in August.
Meanwhile, another prequel series named “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” is scheduled for release towards the end of 2025, as reported by Deadline. However, contrary to previous announcements, a third spinoff focused on Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, has been put on hold and will not be progressing anymore.
In 2023, Kit shared with Screen Rant that the project had been abandoned because the creative team couldn’t locate a suitable narrative to develop.
Essentially, Martin claims that the shifts in leadership at Warner Bros. Discovery, which owns HBO and Max, have influenced the choices made regarding the development of the Game of Thrones universe.
In a blog post from December 2022, he mentioned that the modifications at HBO Max have affected us, without a doubt. Some projects are progressing quicker than others, which is typical during development. A few have been temporarily paused, but I wouldn’t say they’re completely finished; you can just as easily take something off the shelf as put it on the shelf.
While we eagerly anticipate further updates about the upcoming Game of Thrones movie, let’s take a peek at what the series’ stars have been up to lately.
Before stepping into the role of Jon Snow on screen, Kit Harington previously performed on stage in a production of “War Horse” at the National Theatre.
During his audition for the part of an honorary brother to the Stark siblings, Harington recounted to W Magazine, “I sported a shiner. The previous night I’d had a brawl at McDonald’s…with a man there. It’s possible that the fellow who landed a punch on my face may have inadvertently aided me in securing the role!
Even though Jon was crucial to the series, the surprising and short-lived demise of his character in season five had a profound impact on the actor, causing him to express that he struggled emotionally afterwards.
At that point, I initiated therapy and began opening up to others. I had been feeling incredibly vulnerable, and I hadn’t been communicating much with anyone.
In due course, Harington acknowledged and appreciated the significance of his character, as well as Jon’s, to the series. He further mentioned, “It took me quite some time to stop thinking, ‘I am the weakest link in this production.’
Apart from reappearing on stage with productions like “True West,” “Henry V,” and “Slave Play,” making a debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through “The Eternals” and appearing on HBO’s “Industry,” the London-born actor tied the knot with former “Game of Thrones” co-star, Rose Leslie, in 2018.
Harington shared with GQ that he’s grateful to the show for all it has given him, but most importantly, he is thankful because it brought her into his life.
The private pair share two children, a son born in 2021 and a daughter who arrived in 2023.
The actress from Downton Abbey, who tried out for the role of Jon’s Wildling lover Ygritte, didn’t have a clear understanding of the series’ scale before her audition.
She confessed during an interview that she walked into the audition without proper preparation. She wasn’t familiar with the show, hadn’t seen the initial season…She didn’t anticipate the level of pressure. If I had known about the pressure, I believe I wouldn’t have gotten the job at all. It turned out that my innocence worked in my favor for the first round.
Although Ygritte was part of the series for just two seasons, her influence on Jon Snow and Kit Harington endured significantly.
Harington shared that they had a strong connection during our work, which he believes, and he fondly recalled the very first day they filmed together as his most memorable moment on the set.
Following her stint on Game of Thrones, Leslie shifted to the cast of The Good Fight, a spin-off from The Good Wife. She also made an unexpected appearance during Kit Harington’s debut as host on Saturday Night Live, mocking him from the audience. Additionally, she landed notable movie roles in The Time Traveler’s Wife and Death on the Nile.
And, see above, she shares two children with her husband.
Just like the charismatic Daenerys Targaryen, portrayed by Emilia Clarke, found herself growing into her role as her character’s influence expanded and dominated the series, earning a total of four Emmy Award nominations along the way.
Daenerys Targaryen, the Lady of Dragons, gained such immense popularity that at one point, Beyoncé – mother of Blue Ivy – approached her and exclaimed, “Wow, what a pleasure to meet you! I truly believe you’re extraordinary.
Prior to the airing of GOT‘s last season in 2019, Clarke disclosed in a piece for The New Yorker that she had experienced two aneurysms following the filming of the show’s first season and underwent brain surgery at the age of 24.
She expressed in her writing that the life-altering series not only figuratively but truly rescued her life. The entire production, including the family depicted on the show, and the show itself, were instrumental in saving her, and undoubtedly Daenerys Targaryen, also known as Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons, played a significant role in her rescue.
Following Jon Snow’s decisive action that curtailed Daenerys’ fiery reign on the show’s final episode, Clarke has since appeared in the emotional rollercoaster movie “Last Christmas” and portrayed Nina in a London stage adaptation of Chekhov’s “The Seagull”.
Sophie Turner was only fourteen years old when she started portraying Sansa Stark, securing her debut screen role following an audition at her school during a lunch hour break.
Throughout the progression of playing the tormented yet victorious character Sansa, Turner successfully persuaded her guardians to take in Zunji, the canine who embodied her on-screen direwolf Lady. (Paraphrased)
In real life, she had a crush on Justin Bieber which influenced her portrayal of Sansa’s feelings for the ruthless Joffrey Baratheon. However, in 2019, she tied the knot with Joe Jonas instead. Her Stark-related sister, Maisie Williams, was among her bridesmaids on that occasion.
In September of 2023, Turner and Jonas parted ways, yet they remain parents to their two lovely daughters, Willa and Delphine. Notably, the actress has since started a new relationship with British actor Peregrine Pearson.
After her lengthy rule on Game of Thrones ended (and she played the main antagonist in the 2019 X-Men film Dark Phoenix), Turner made a comeback to television in the 2022 true crime drama The Staircase and starred in the 2024 ITV series Joan.
Regarding Joffrey, that notorious character, I must say that Jack Gleeson, an Irish actor, truly excelled in bringing the chilling, entitled prince to life (and later, as the king, he portrayed the desperate search for a queen, followed by another).
Following the demise of Joffrey in 2014, Gleeson temporarily halted his acting career to complete his education at Trinity College Dublin. During this time, he established the Collapsing Horse Theatre Company along with a few classmates.
He’s made a comeback to the small screen, appearing in shows like “Sex Education” and “The Famous Five”, and he has several upcoming projects lined up, one of which is “Safe Harbor” alongside “Game of Thrones” actor Alfie Allen.
On the personal front, Gleeson married actress Róisín O’Mahony in 2022.
12-year-old aspiring dancer Williams attended her second audition ever, which was for the popular TV series “Game of Thrones,” since she had no prior experience with it.
She remarked in a HBO interview, “The show has been like a school for me, shaping me into who I am today. I owe my newfound self-assurance to this role and the character of Arya.
However, living under public scrutiny wasn’t simple for Williams. In an interview on the Happy Place podcast with Fearne Cotton, she admitted, “I experienced a lot of profound realizations where I confessed to myself that I wasn’t truly content and was merely pretending everything was alright.
Following the conclusion of “GOT”, Williams expressed her desire to pursue more projects that ignite her passion, rather than catering to others’ expectations.
She has appeared in various roles since, including the spin-off of X-Men titled The New Mutants, the U.K. limited series Two Weeks to Live and Pistol, as well as portraying Christian Dior’s spirited sibling in the Apple TV+ period drama The New Look set during World War II.
In her personal life, Williams had a prolonged relationship with race car driver Ollie Jackson and later was in a commitment with Reuben Selby up until 2023. Their split was significant enough for her to label it as the “conclusion of an era” on Instagram.
At the age of ten, Wright landed the role as Bran Stark (also known as the Three-Eyed Raven and Bran the Broken, King of Westeros). As he grew up amidst the English countryside, he found the soccer club too chilly. Sharing this on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he explained that when soccer proved too cold for him, he wondered about other options and ultimately chose the drama club.
Apart from embracing the cold, he also faced challenges with enrolling at university in 2017, all while striving for greatness on a global stage.
Beyond the ordinary encounters being hindered due to constant public scrutiny, he expressed to Esquire U.K., “I couldn’t unwind and socialize freely, like going out for a drink or getting tipsy, because if I did, people would say: ‘I spotted Bran acting inebriated.’
Instead of leaving college prematurely, largely because of an extremely demanding acting career, he resumed his education in the year 2019, focusing on the study of neuroscience.
Despite dedicating nearly half his lifetime to the series known as ‘GOT’, he penned in a 2019 article for The Hollywood Reporter, “It’s remarkable how people cherish the tiny piece I contributed to, and this is truly something extraordinary.
He has since appeared in the 2021 sci-fi thriller Voyagers.
Apart from Sean Bean, who portrayed noble Ned Stark (for a single season), Peter Dinklage stands as the sole original cast member who wasn’t required to audition. Instead, he was directly chosen for his role as Tyrion Lannister.
In a chat with HBO, the star of Station Agent expressed initial reluctance when they learned about a fantasy show considering them, saying something along the lines of “Yuck, not me!” The size factor added to his hesitation as he shared that he prefers portraying authentic people on screen. He mentioned that in the realm of fantasy, genuine characters often get overlooked, and this role was exactly the opposite.
He ultimately won a record four Emmys for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
After the conclusion of “Game of Thrones,” Peter Dinklage has been notably featured in films like “Cyrano,” “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes,” and “Unfrosted.” He’s also lent his voice to animated series such as “Rick and Morty” and “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
Away from the limelight, he is blessed with a daughter born in 2011 and a son born in 2017, both sharing the same life journey with his wife, theater director Erica Schmidt. She penned the stage version of the musical Cyrano, which later inspired the movie he released in 2021.
Lena Headey’s close friend, Dinklage, was the one who suggested her for the part of Cersei Lannister, Tyrion’s harsh sister in the series, 300.
During her reign as the cunning queen regent, Headey experienced a divorce and child custody dispute with musician Peter Loughran in 2012. In the process of requesting spousal support, her ex-husband disclosed her reported $1 million per episode salary from Game of Thrones. The former couple share a son named Wylie, who was born in March 2010.
2015 saw the birth of Teddy with director and long-time friend Dan Cadan, who she tied the knot with in 2018.
In 2019, the five-time Emmy nominee expressed to The Daily Beast that her time on “GOT” was transformative. She said, “After eight years with Cersei, that character is deeply ingrained in people’s memories, and now it’s concluded. That small TV show…I value the achievements it brought, and if it means people think my acting career has ended there, I’m content to prove them wrong.
In that same year, she made her mark in the heartwarming wrestling comedy-drama film “Fighting With My Family,” which was inspired by real events. Since then, she has taken on numerous voice roles and graced the screens of shows such as “White House Plumbers” and “Beacon 23.
Before playing the iconic character Jaime Lannister in “Game of Thrones,” Nikolaj Coster-Waldau previously starred as the lead actor in the brief television series, “New Amsterdam” on NBC.
In an interview, Waldau expressed that he felt like a small, playful puppy upon joining the series. However, after coming to Belfast, he learned to stride with dignity and happiness. As a result of this experience, he feels he has grown into a more accomplished individual.
As the moment arrived to bid farewell to the series, the Danish actor confessed that he was taken aback by the wave of emotions I experienced. “I repeatedly reminded myself, stay composed, don’t let the tears flow. It’s merely work, it’s just a job, let it go. But when they began speaking, well, I can’t quite explain,” I shared with Esquire Singapore. “It seems…a tiny grain of emotion got caught in my eye.
After his role in “GOT”, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has been featured in movies such as “The Silencing”, “Against the Ice” and “The Flash”. He also starred alongside Jennifer Garner in the 2023 Apple TV+ thriller “The Last Thing He Told Me”. This series, initially released in March 2024, was subsequently renewed for a second season.
Since 1998, Sascha Nukâka Motzfeldt, along with his wife and their two daughters, as well as their family pets, have primarily lived to the north of Copenhagen.
Following her debut on “Game of Thrones” as Brienne of Tarth in season two, Gwendoline Christie was taken aback by the segment of internet users who criticized her physical appearance for the role, as they felt a taller and less attractive actress would have been more fitting according to the descriptions given in George R.R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels.
2019 saw me, as an ardent admirer, finding myself delving deep into aspects of myself I’d long kept hidden, traits I believed society deemed unacceptable. My androgyny, my strength, even my masculinity, were all areas I felt uncomfortable exploring. Add to that my feelings towards female empowerment, gender politics, and the discrepancies in my physical appearance – these were issues I had avoided confronting. But Brienne, oh Brienne, she pushed me to tackle all these aspects head-on to truly embody her character. It’s been a challenging journey, but one that I now see as a priceless gift.
Christie is not only performing consistently on stage for the National Theatre Production of A Midsummer’s Night Dream, as well as appearing as principal Larissa Weems in Tim Burton’s Wednesday, but she has also established herself as a consistently thrilling figure at red carpet events and during Fashion Weeks across various cities.
Since the year 2013, Christie has been in a relationship with the renowned British fashion designer Giles Deacon. Over these years, he has designed several gowns that Christie wore on her most significant red-carpet appearances, referring to her as an exceptional source of inspiration, or “a fantastic muse.
In any given situation, it often turns out to be those who remain unassuming, like John Bradley’s character Samwell Tarly, who proves to be intelligent, faithful, and remarkably brave. Over time, he emerges as one of the most influential figures in the world of “Game of Thrones.
After the conclusion of the show, this classically-trained English actor has made appearances on British series like “Urban Myths” and Australian drama “North Shore,” as well as on Netflix’s “The 3 Body Problem,” a new series created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who are also known for “Game of Thrones.
In addition to that, Bradley was featured in the 2022 sci-fi thriller “Moonfall” alongside Halle Berry and Jennifer Lopez in their romantic comedy film titled “Marry Me.
He shared with Oxford’s Cherwell newspaper that his time on ‘GOT’ was a testament to his acting abilities in terms of his career. If the people responsible for such a prominent show trusted him with it, then any negativity should be easily dismissed – it was an overwhelming experience. Now, we aim to demonstrate our versatility by taking on other roles, but even if we only do one thing throughout our career, it’s still been a successful one.
However, with his extensive experience, he noted, “Fortunately, we didn’t encounter a single difficult individual or negative vibe among the whole group. That’s quite unusual.
It turned out that cultural occurrences aligned well with Nathalie Emmanuel, who gained prominence portraying Missandei, Daenerys’ trusted advisor, and later joined the cast of the Fast and Furious series, appearing in the last four movies as Ramsey, a hacktivist character.
In addition to her work as an English actress, she appeared in the 2019 limited series of “Four Weddings and a Funeral” on Amazon, and she’s currently working alongside Kevin Hart in the comedy “Die Hart.
Emmanuel is a member of the cast for the upcoming Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece “Megalopolis” and plays a leading role in the John Woo action thriller “The Killer,” which is a remake of his 1989 Hong Kong original, currently available on Peacock.
She has been dating British actor Alex Lanipekun since 2018.
As a lifestyle connoisseur, I must share an endearing tidbit about Richard Madden that has been whispered among set insiders. Apparently, he earned the nickname “the charming Richard” due to his innate charm and amiability, as revealed by Turner. This Scottish gentleman was simply too delightful to be around!
It’s interesting to note that even before he became Robb Stark, the ill-fated King in the North, he was struggling financially. He shared this with Jimmy Fallon, admitting that he lived on a mere $5 per day. In his words, “I had two choices: I could either buy one meal, or a newspaper and a drink.” Typically, he chose the latter option.
In simpler terms, Madden confessed that the notorious 2013 “Red Wedding” episode, which saw numerous deaths, including Robb’s, was a particularly difficult day while filming.
However, he subsequently secured a Golden Globe for his portrayal in the popular Netflix series “Bodyguard,” and has graced the screens of many in significant films such as the Elton John biopic “Rocketman,” the critically acclaimed World War I movie “1917” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe film “The Eternals.
2019 saw him stating to the New York Times that he prefers to maintain his private life as such, avoiding discussions on off-screen matters. He has never disclosed details about his relationships.
Alfie Allen hails from a well-known family, although not as intricate as Theon Greyjoy’s. His mother is a renowned producer, his father is an actor, and his sister is Lily Allen. This makes David Harbour his brother-in-law.
However, following his groundbreaking role in 2022, Allen found it necessary to prohibit his elder sibling from discussing Game of Thrones in public settings.
During an interview with Australian radio station Nova 969 in 2014, Lily explained that she wasn’t permitted to utter the initial letters of the show’s title, as Alfie had strictly forbidden it.
In various roles, such as in the series “Harlots” and “White House Farm,” on Broadway in “Hangmen,” and as Timothy McVeigh in the indie thriller “McVeigh,” Allen delivered a chilling performance. This film premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival.
Allen welcomed a daughter with partner Allie Teilz in October.
Jason Momoa truly captivated audiences with his portrayal of the silent yet powerful Dothraki ruler Khal Drogo on Game of Thrones, and he has remained quite busy since then, keeping up a steady work pace post his single season tenure.
In the DC Universe, he made his debut as Aquaman, featuring in several films, such as his 2018 blockbuster hit that earned over $1 billion globally, followed by its postponed 2023 sequel titled “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom“.
In the year 2017, Jason Momoa tied the knot with his long-term partner Lisa Bonet. Together, they are parents to daughter Lola Iolani (born July 2007) and son Nakoa-Wolf (December 2008). However, after 17 years of being together, they announced their separation in the year 2022. Bonet filed for divorce in 2024.
Momoa confirmed in May 2024 via date night PDA that he’s been seeing Adria Arjona.
