When the actor was pressed if he was referring to Jon Snow or the Hound, Ian played coy and said that it could be the former or the latter or even both.
Theories suggesting that Jon Snow will come back to life have been rife ever since the Season 5 finale.
Most of the theories revolve around the character surviving or spiritually possessing a dire wolf’s body and being brought back to life by Clarice Van Houten’s Melisandre.
This is despite the first teaser of the upcoming season where Snow was included in the Hall of Faces along with deceased characters such as Ned, Robb, and Catelyn Stark.
Interestingly, Peter Dinklage’s Tyrion Lannister was also included in the Hall of Faces hinting that his life will be in danger this season. But a closer look at the video also shows Lena Headley’s Cersei being there.
There were also reports last year that Harrington was spotted on the set in Jon Snow’s costume filming in a Belfast studio surfaced as early as July last year.
According to Yibada, it is likely that Jon Snow will be in Season 6 as the teasers and posters HBO has been releasing all have the character in it.
Also, cast members and even Harrington himself have confirmed that Jon Snow is dead, but they didn’t say that the character can’t be seen on the show again.
