It's casting time once again for "Game of Thrones" Season 7 and it looks like the show continues to be very secretive about the new characters. However, that hasn't stopped the fans from speculating about the two cast members who will be a part of the seventh season. Is Joseph Quinn secretly playing Sansa Stark's new suitor and new competitor to the Iron Throne? And has Paul Ward been added to portray another villain in the HBO series?
'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Welcomes Joseph Quinn! Is Koner Actually Sansa Stark's New Suitor Aegon Targaryen?
Fans were delighted to find that there are new actors revealed to be joining the seventh season of "Game of Thrones". The first name that came up was Joseph Quinn, who will play a character named Koner (via Watchers on the Wall). Since that name doesn't come up in "A Song of Ice and Fire", people immediately speculated that it is code for "Major Character We Don't Want You To Guess Just Yet". Some believe that Quinn will appear in most episodes as a possible suitor for Sansa Stark who just happens to have a claim to the Iron Throne.
There are speculations that Koner is actually Young Griff, who is secretly Aegon Targaryen. It is possible that Aegon will find his way to Westeros to form an alliance with Jon Snow by asking to marry Sansa Stark. This would be a way to confirm that "Game of Thrones" Season 7 hasn't forgotten about an important character in "ASOIAF". But who is Paul Ward playing in the series?
'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Adds Paul Ward As Victarion Greyjoy?
New cast member Paul Ward has one of those faces that could easily appear as a convincing villain. Although some fans believe that the "Vikings" actor will play a Frey, it is also possible that Ward will appear as another forgotten "ASOIAF" character Victarion Greyjoy. Victarion could finally show up to help Euron Greyjoy overpower Daenerys Targaryen and bring the dreaded dragonhorn in "Game of Thrones" Season 7.
Do you think Joseph Quinn's Koner is actually Aegon Targaryen? Will Paul Ward play Victarion Greyjoy? Let us know in the comments below.
