The explosive "Game of Thrones" Season 6 finale saw Jon Snow (Kit Harington) crowned King in the North, thanks to a moving nomination by Lyanna Mormont (Bella Ramsay). Now, Sophie Turner, who plays Sansa Stark, vaguely teased that a sibling rivalry could disentangle House Stark again.
During the "Game of Thrones" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the 20-year-old actress discussed the possibly strained relationship amongst Sansa and Jon Snow in the upcoming Season 7. She said that Sansa seemingly believed they should both be King and Queen of the North.
"I don't think she believes Jon Snow is capable of running Winterfell and the North," Variety quoted Turner as saying. "She thinks he does not have the intellect, the knowledge, the experience that she has and I concur."
Turner added that Jon Snow has superb morals, those Stark morals. Hence, he will inevitably make the right decision, but whether it is going to benefit anyone is another story. She proceeded ahead to say that there is always a bit of sibling rivalry between Sansa and Jon Snow ever since they were young.
"I think that look between Sansa and Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) is her kind of acknowledging that his points are somewhat legitimate, and she's kind of intrigued as to that pretty little picture that he painted of him on the Iron Throne and her by his side," Turner explained. "But it's very interesting to see where her loyalties will now lie - whether she'll go with Jon Snow or Littlefinger."
When asked why Sansa did not tell Jon Snow she had the Knights of the Vale coming to help the Starks in "Game of Thrones" Season 6 episode 9, Battle of the Bastards, Turner earnestly replied that the former did not tell the latter since she apparently wanted all the credit. She added that it remains to be seen whether Sansa will take a turn for the heroic or she will turn out to be completely sadistic in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
Meanwhile, "Game of Thrones" showrunner David Benioff D.B. Weiss announced in a UFC podcast that the production of Season 7 will begin later than expected. The showrunners said they do not have an air date yet.
