Actor Kit Harington, 29, vaguely revealed that Jon Snow would be marrying Robert Baratheon's (Mark Addy) widow, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey), in "Game of Thrones" Season 7. HBO recently revealed a family tree that confirms the theory that Rhaegar Targaryen is Jon Snow's biological father.
In an interview with Heat Magazine, the 29-year-old actor was asked about marrying a living "Game of Thrones" character, in which he said that it would be Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). In the next minute, he disposed the answer and said that in the case of marriage, it would presumably be Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey).
"Marry Daenerys. No, actually [I] wouldn't. No." said Harington. "Marry...ummm, Marry Cersei. I would let people think that one through."
Harington hinted that Jon Snow may kill Cersei's brother cum husband, Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). He goes ahead to say that he would first marry Jamie's sister then eventually kill him.
When asked about which living characters Jon Snow would have sex with in the upcoming season, Harington revealed that it has to be Melisandre (Carice van Houten). The finale episode of "Game of Thrones" Season 6, which aired on June 6, saw Jon Snow exile Melisandre from the North for her crime of infanticide. After which she was seen riding south from Winterfell.
Spoilers suggest Melisandre will return to Castle Black, ignoring Jon Snow's order. Speculations are rife that the Red Woman will probably ride north to exchange magical tips with Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright) at the Night's Watch on the presumed greater war to come.
While some are relieved with the news, numerous avid fans were seemingly not buying the claims stressing that a marriage between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are more likely. It is said that Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen's path will inevitably meet at some point in Westeros.
Adding fuel to fame, actress Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, shared some bold predictions of what is ahead on the show. Turner predicted Daenerys Targaryen will wed her nephew Jon Snow in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
"I think Jon and Daenerys are going to end up together, probably," Turner told Variety. "I feel like Jon and Sansa would be a strange one, especially because isn't it considered not legitimate if you haven't consummated the marriage, and I really don't think either of them would be particularly up for that."
"Game of Thrones" Season 7 is expected to premiere around mid-April 2017. Check out the promo for "Game of Thrones" Season 6 finale below:
