It may be the first daytime of summer in the real world , but wintertime has get along to Westeros in the frame ofa blade new trailer for Game of Thrones ’ penultimate season . It ’s jamming - compact with footage that lines up with all the rumors we ’ve been hearing about the show over the last year , so have ’s break away it all down to see what secret we can uncover .
A admonisher , while we ’re dealing with a peck of speculation here , it ’s go to be based on filming reports and rumors that have been circulate Game of Thrones ’ 7th time of year , so …
The dawdler open up with Sansa taking a walk through the snow-clad Godswood at Winterfell . Over it , we listen Littlefinger give a piddling speech — presumably to Sansa before this scene , telling her to be ready for any battle , be it in the North , the South , everywhere and anywhere , “ in your judgement . ” To the surprisal of no one at this detail , Littlefinger has some trust issues !
The logic gate leading from beyond the bulwark to Castle Black bring up , let Bran and Meera to pass through . The path the drone is cut pull in it seem like Jon picture them , but think he ’s wearing Wildling clothing , this seems to be different footage from Snow ’s slip back beyond the Wall , which we see multiple times in this trailer .
Goldcloaks march through the street of King ’s Landing to a amazingly jubilant crowd . It ’s gruelling to tell , butwe’ve hear reportsthat as part of his unexampled alliance with Cersei Lannister , Euron Greyjoy drags a wrapped Yara Greyjoy(taken in the big battle between Dany ’s host and the Lannister forces , also realise throughout this poke ) , Ellaria Sand , and Tyene Sand through King ’s Landing , which would match up with this successiveness .
The shores of Dragonstone play legion to some fresh arrivals . It ’s hard to say just who , but there ’s been place pictures of both Jon Snow and his cortege and Gendry — who ’s making a long - await return this season after years of row in circles — landing on these beaches . It might not even be either of those moments , and could be Dany make water first landing .
Although that seems unlikely , as this could be Dany ’s first arriver on the shore of her former home , and it ’s in very dissimilar lighting . This is by all odds Dragonstone either way , give the rock-and-roll formations .
Dany tears down the Baratheon banners hang up in Dragonstone by its former occupant , Stannis , while Jon Snow intones , “ For centuries our families push together , against their vernacular enemy . Despite their divergence , together . We need to do the same if we ’re gon na live . ” The way this is laid over footage of Dany specifically could intend it ’s look at from the long - awaited meeting between Jon and Daeneryswe know is get along , but odds are Jon could also be discussing this with the houses of the North , or even the Wildlings beyond the Wall .
Dany ’s dragons fly toward Dragonstone , but below them on the beach it wait like there might be a few people there below . This seems to be cut from a shotwe saw in the prior lagger , of Tyrion watching the dragons take flight of steps from the cliff around Dragonstone .
This shot of Grey Worm is interesting ; you ’re mean to think that it ’s him sailing towards Dragonstone , but the stone formations are very different — and the crevice behind him is almost certainly what Grey Worm and whoever he is with ( he nods at them slowly in the full shooter ) are sailing toward . Giventhere ’s been rumorsthat Dany ’s Unsullied attack Casterly Rock , the ancestral home of House Lannister , which isappearing for the first time this season — as well as the fact that in the Holy Scripture Casterly Rock is build up upon a labyrinth of corridor built within the rock candy itself — could this be the Unsullied finding themselves an debut point to the legendarily unsufferable - to - besiege castle ?
After all , Tyrion has observe that in his young years Tywin put him in charge of the drainage system at Casterly Rock . If he know a sneaky way in through those underground passages , as Daenerys ’ Hand he ’d tell the Unsullied .
It ’s Brienne and Podrick ! Interesting to note that Brienne is out of the armor gifted to her by Jaime ( we saw her wearing it to beat the prig out of miserable Pod ina behind - the - scenes video before today ) , and is rather bear some decidedly Northern leather . It ’s toilsome to tell just where they are — the ramparts behind them do n’t twin either Winterfell or Castle Black .
Nestled between shots of utter butchery as the Unsullied and Lannister forces battle it out in one of the biggest setpieces of the raw season , a skirmish between Dany ’s forces and a caravan of Lannister troops lead by Jaime Lannister — allegedly return from having takenHouse Tyrell ’s fastness , Highgarden , which is also making its debut this season . It includes a very interesting shaft of Sandor Clegane , wearing the deep furs of the Wildlings . Is he a part of the mathematical group Jon takes beyond the Wall with him ? Is a Hound / Arya reunion on the cards , if Clegane is hanging around with Jon now ?
Here ’s the money shot of the trailer , and one of the most challenging shots int he whole thing . Beric Goddamn Dondarrion is back , and he ’s brought his light - up sword thaumaturgy with him . For those who do n’t commend , Beric was the loss leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners , a roving band of mercenary in the Riverlands , and also a follower of the Lord of Light , having been resurrected by Thoros of Myr and Red God wizardly multiple sentence . Why he ’s returned now is unknown , but once again , take notation of the costume : He ’s wear heavyset and gruelling pelt , bespeak Beric has also gone beyond the Wall . Whether he was there before Jon ’s visit or came up with him remain to be see .
Ships endure the Kraken of House Greyjoy sweep toward King ’s Landing . fortune are these are Euron ’s ship rather than Yara and Theon ’s , given we know Euron will ally himself with Cersei this time of year .
The Unsullied open up a gate to … let even more Unsullied in . If we ’re correct about that earlier shot of Grey Worm being from a mathematical group of Unsullied sneaking their room into Casterly Rock , this could be the fruit of their labor — aim inside the fortifications to open it up for a larger horde wait outside . We do get a abbreviated shot of the Unsullied like a shot charging into some unsuspecting Lannister soldier , so it appear to twin up with our theory .
A very pissed Jamie Lannister rides over the flare remains of a Brobdingnagian battlefield . He ’s presumptively miffed at the fact his piece just got flamebroiled by …
… Dany , occupy to the field atop Drogon . We ’ve see pictures and behind - the - tantrum tidbits of the destruction she and Drogon loose in this fight already , but this prevue has our good looking so far at the grand battle , rumored in the earliest day of filming at season seven ’s answer to the Battle of the Bastards .
Hellfire rains down on ship as Yara and Theon reckon on in repugnance . This seems to be part of the naval battle between her forces and Euron ’s fleet that was once bruit to be part of the Edwin Herbert Land engagement between Dany ’s Dothraki forces and the Lannisters , but given that it takes place at night those two spot may be separate . This is also presumably where Yara is catch by Euron — in a collage of stroke later on we see him fighting on one of these flame - straw ship .
Jon and his merry band palisade by a horde of Wildlings . Note on the right wing you’re able to see a flaming sword being sway , so that ’s almost certainly Beric , sustain he ’s joined with Jon for whatever ’s going on beyond the Wall .
The next bit of the dawdler fit by tight — shots of Missandei and Grey Worm kissing , Tyrion looking distraught , Jon and Davos shoot down at Dragonstone ( once again , you may tell by the fancy rock organization ! ) , but most intriguingly of all is this sun - imbue stroke of what looks like Sandor Clegane drawing a weapon . trounce yourselves in , because we have a pretty crazy theory as to what this is and where it ’s taking place .
Judging by the surroundings you’re able to make out — it ’s definitely not the dreary Northern preferences we ’ve realize Sandor Clegane in the other blastoff of the preview — this could be the Dragonpit , a solidifying of ruins just outside King ’s landing place that the Targaryens maintain their dragons before they all died out . There has been a litany of theme that the Dragonpit will become a major fix in season seven , and which are bruit to include climactic scene thatwill see middling much the entire elementary mold of Game of Thrones together for the first time … including Sandor Clegane .
If this is the Dragonpit , and Clegane is there , his malign brother - twist - zombie - guardsman Gregor will likely be there as well , presumptively as part of Cersei ’s cortege . This would be a pretty hard cause for a angry Sandor to draw a leaf blade there . Could the long - wait duel between the Clegane brother ( often bring up to as the Cleganebowl ) finally be happening at this crucial location ?
A depress , rumpled Theon collapses on the shores of Dragonstone , which we fuck thanks to fix composition . This is presumptively after Yara is trance , but we also cognise Theon is on the beaches there for another scene wherehe ultimately reunites with Jon Snowafter years apart … and the whole “ betrayed Robb and avail split the Stark family up ” affair , which leads to Jon angrily accosting the misfortunate Greyjoy . Theon just ca n’t catch a interruption .
Oh my , Drogon , what adorable dead dismay tooth you have .
The preview ends with Jon rationalise down a Wildling while being observe by a crowd of them , in front of that same rock we earlier saw him on top of while being totally surrounded by them . Is this some sort of trial by combat affair in an attempt to get the Wildlings get out beyond the Wall to get help the Northerners , perhaps ? Meanwhile , Sansa intones an ominous verse about wolf , which means that it ’s probably about the Stark kids , who are rumor to reunite this season :
When the snows fall , and the white winds spoil , the lone wolf give way … but the pack survive .
commence speculate who the lone wolf is now !
