The anticipation of Game of Thrones Season 7 is running high. Fans are dying to know what will happen next. Before Season 6, the viewers had an idea of what would happen thanks to the novels by George R. R. Martin. From Season 6, HBO was on their own since Martin wasn’t ready with the sixth novel.
Fans were initially skeptical about HBO going solo, but Game of Thrones Season 6 surprised them! D.B. Weiss and David Benioff did a marvelous job with the script and ended the season with a shocking finale.
Keeping in mind the incidents from the finale of Season 6, rumor suggests that Game of Thrones Season 7 will show the biggest battle that the show has seen so far. Two families will come in to battle it out.
Viewers have always heard of Casterly Rock as the ancestral home of the Lannisters. However, there was no depiction of Casterly Rock on screen. Game of Thrones hasn’t shown even Highgarden, which is home to the Tyrel’s.
The situation will change in Game of Thrones Season 7 since these two families will engage in a war. According to Digital Spy, the two royal houses will meet at what will be the biggest battle in the history of the show.
100 horses and 500 extras have been brought on the set to shoot for the battle. The filming of the battle scene will span over a month. The battle scene will be shot meticulously, and for that same reason, the extras will get military training.
Watchers on The Wall reported that they had spotted the crew around the water of Los Barruecos. The crew was seen testing a smoke machine. The crew has been on location in Seville, Spain.
If the Tyrell’s are involved in the battle, it is a clear sign that Olenna Tyrell (Diana Rigg) is out to avenge the death of her grandchildren, Margaery and Loras. Since Olenna Tyrell was last seen in Dorne, talking to Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma), there is a chance that the Martell’s might also take part in the battle to avenge the death of Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal).
Rumors suggest that the battle might also involve the Tarlys. The viewers met the Tarly family for the first time in Season 6. Lord Randyll Tarly (James Faulkner) has shared a photo of himself sitting on a horse and in Game of Thrones that could only mean that he will be a part of the battle, on behalf of the Tyrells.
Game of Thrones Season 7 will show Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) and Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) meet for the first time. Fans have been waiting for the meeting of ice and fire for a long time. The two characters are fan favorites, and speculation is rife about their meeting.
Leaked photos from the sets clearly show that the two are meant to meet in the upcoming season. According to Season 6, Jon Snow is Daenerys’ nephew. Jon Snow and Daenerys and both unaware of their relationship.
International Business Times reported that fans want Daenerys and Jon Snow to spark a romance since they aren’t aware of their relationship.
Fans have theorized that Jon Snow might become the reincarnation of Azor Ahai. He was the great warrior who had defeated the White Walkers during the first Long Night. It was Azor Ahai who had forged the Lightbringer, and since Jon Snow wields the sword, rumors suggest that he might be the “Prince That Was Promised.”
Melisandre (Carice van Houten) had been hinting at Jon Snow being the one.
