Game Of Thrones Actors Answer The Series' Lingering Questions During Comic-Con Panel

The cast of Game of Thrones took the stage at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, and although the series is over, the actors had plenty to share, especially as the panel's narrator--Entertainment Weekly's James Hibberd--didn't hesitate to ask tough questions about the controversial final season.

The panel included Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Conleth Hill (Varys), and Isaac Hempstead-Wright (Bran Stark).

Hibberd opened with a banger, asking Isaac what his reign as King Bran the Broken is like.

"I can't imagine his government is a barrel of laughs," Hempstead-Wright said. "I think it must be quite serious. And I guess for all intents and purposes, Westeros is now a surveillance state, with Bran aware of everything everyone is doing." It's nice to know Hempstead-Wright shares the opinion of the many fans who have speculated about how Bran might use his powers as king.

Coster-Waldau addressed the backlash to Season 8 directly. "It's gonna piss you off no matter what, because it's the end," the actor said. "But at the end of the day, it's absolutely fine--if you hated the ending, if you loved it, that's great. Just don't call people names."
