But Ser Davos Seaworth allowed him to escape and he was last seen escaping Dragonstone in a rowing boat into the Narrow Sea.
It seems that Gendry will show up in Season 7 of “Game of Thrones” as the actor who is playing the role, Joe Dempsie, was recently spotted at Belfast airport.
While there is still no confirmation from the showrunners or the cast members about the return of Gendry, the fact that the actor was seen covering his head with a hoodie when he was spotted at Belfast airport indicates that his appearance is also being kept under wraps.
Some fans and critics believe that Gendry has the right to claim the throne since he is a son of Robert Baratheon, but he needs to be legitimized first. He can still lay claim to the iron throne upon legitimization if, and only if, Daenerys and her dragons do not succeed in booting out Cersei Lannister from the iron throne in King’s Landing.
Gendry is the only man in Westeros with Baratheon blood, following the death of Tommen during the Season 6 finale, after Cersei had all her husband’s bastard children slaughtered earlier.
There are speculations saying that it would be Jon Snow, the new King of the North, who might legitimize Gendry Baratheon as Ser Davos is one of his advisors now. Only Davos, Melisandre, and Arya Stark know the true lineage of Gendry.
