"Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, predicted who will be the first casualty when the HBO fantasy hit series returns to the small screen with its Season 7 run. During the "Game of Thrones" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the 20-year-old British actress said Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) should die first when the series returns next summer.
"Cersei Lannister should die, but probably won't die," Turner told E! News. "I do not think she will die. We need a bad guy on 'Game of Thrones'."
The actress then added, "Maybe Sansa, maybe Sansa will die!" Turner's last speculation comes as no surprise to many. In March, the "X-Men: Apocalypse" star revealed to The Wall Street Journal that she wants the showrunners to kill her character off.
"I do not want to survive," said Turner when asked how she might want to wrap up her character's storyline. "If you're on 'Game of Thrones' and you do not have a cool death scene, then what's the point?"
Irish actor Liam Cunningham, who plays Ser Davos Seaworth, was also asked the same question. While he did not name a particular character, the 55-year-old actor thinks that some powerful female characters will go down next season.
"The women are so strong at the end of Season 6," Cunningham said. "The guys are sort of left behind, but the ladies are in powerful positions. So I think there's going to be sadness."
Cunningham, best known for his role as Solon in 2010's fantasy film "Clash of the Titans," noted that such statement is just a complete speculation since he has not seen anything nor read any scripts yet.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that actor Iain Glen, who plays Jorah Mormont, is definitely heading back to the "Game of Thrones" Season 7. The good news came to light when a fan tweeted that Glen and co-star Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth) was on their flight to Belfast, a well-known filming location for the HBO series.
And he's reading a script! What does it SAY.
