Can Bran Stark save westeros from the night King and his white walkers?
It’s a moot point which character on Game of Thrones has gone on the longest, most arduous journey. But, without doubt, Bran Stark has had the weirdest ride.
The son of Eddard and Catelyn Stark was pushed out of a window in the very first episode, leaving him unable to walk. Since then, his father has been beheaded, his mother murdered, and Bran has become the Three-eyed Raven, who can see past and future events.
Unsurprisingly, the current series has found Bran in the thick of the action.
‘In the first episode of this year’s season, we found Bran in a bit of a predicament,’ says Isaac Hempstead-Wright, who plays the young Stark. ‘He’d lost Hodor and his dire-wolf. He’d lost Coldhands [Benjen Stark], who came and saved the day last time. So it was just him and Meera at the foot of the Wall.’
On top of all that, he is also, in Hempstead-Wright’s words, ‘no longer Bran Stark’.
