Interview

New season 6 interviews with Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Isaac Hempstead Wright

Posted on by Nate

Jaime Cersei

Entertainment Weekly has two new interviews with the famous men with two last names on Game of Thrones. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau teases his upcoming face-off with the High Sparrow while Isaac Hempstead Wright reacts to Bran’s new storyline in Season 6.

After failing his rescue mission in Dorne, Jaime vows to avenge Cersei and disarm the Faith Militant especially their leader: The High Sparrow. On Entertainment Weekly‘s radio show, Coster-Waldau discloses Jaime’s interior conflict.

When someone you love is in pain, you want to do anything to comfort them. And he kind of goes to that moment of saying, ‘Listen, it’s you and me against the world. We can do this. We’re going to fight back. We’re going to take revenge.’ Because he’s never seen her this broken before. And now he wants her back. But, of course, he has no idea what’s happened at King’s Landing before, as we find out the whole power dynamic has changed. You have the religious uprising. It’s a tricky situation.

He also comments on the already tense relationship between the Lannister twins.

She hasn’t been happy with him for a long time. I think, actually, since he came back with no right hand, she kind of lost a bit of interest in him. And I think now she needs him. And I think he is, for now, happy to step up. But she’s not an easy lady to deal with.

To hear what’s next for Jaime head on over to Entertainment Weekly where they have the full radio interview!

Isaac Hempstead Wright revels in his excitement for the new season and Bran’s journey with his ever growing power.

Season six is superb. Things are really starting to tie up. Every other season has had this great kind of complex development of all these vast, sprawling storylines going all over the place. Now it feels like they’ve got right to the edges and are beginning to direct themselves toward a focal point, which will be an epic conclusion.

His reaction to the Season 6 scripts:

Oh, that’s the best scene I’ve ever done! Oh, that scene is even better!

He taunts us with the increasingly anticipated visions:

Bran is pretty damn close to being the Three-Eyed Raven now. Previously he’s seen tiny glimpses of future or past but he’s never has he been very much in control of the situation. Now we’re given looks into very important events in the past, present and future of this world and Bran is beginning to piece them together like a detective, almost as if he’s watching the show. Equally, he’s now discovering how crucial he could be in the Great War. It’s quite Inception-y. His power is not just in telling us about the history, but also might have a serious impact on the future.

Is it Sunday night yet?!

  5. Based on his new hairdo, the children of the forest must be excellent stylists haha. Unless that’s just in the visions, and Bran’s hair is actually down to the ground.

  6. I am so excited for Bran’s return! Can’t wait to see the Winterfell vision on Sunday, could be something happy for a change.

  17. TheMannis,

    “The Stranger represents death and the unknown, and leads the dead to the other world”…also their returning? Sandor, Snow. A certain Lady.

  18. Bodog,

    I think there’s a link between the Targaryen line and the Night’s King/Whitewalkers which may be it and perhaps stretched back as far as the time of the Doom ( there’s a similar mystery as to what happened there as there is to what happened at Hardhome 600 years ago…although that was 300 years before Aegon’s Landing so probably not directly related to the Targs). I think that the whitewalkers ( being the big bad can only be defeated by the combination of Targaryen and Stark (the two bloodlines that have opposed them in different ways…Fire and Ice if you will!) hence Jon being so imporant. Bittersteel is way too young to be the NK.

  20. So excited to see the Winterfell vision Sunday! And that episode title is intriguing! Something to do w Arya? The stranger is death. I’m beyond stoked.

  21. Isaac teased a reveal about the connection between the Raven and the Night’s King over at IGN. Which is interesting.

  22. Isaac is so intelligent and articulate. The best young actor on the show. And I can’t wait, just a few days until we see him again.

  23. Now we’re given looks into very important events in the past, present and
    future of this world

    Can’t help it, but that reminds me of that spoiler / leak about

    the fire scene with the NK being a glimpse in the future and the NK crushing some… enough said 😉 .

  25. Intrigued by Nikolaj’s comment about losing his hand. Doesn’t the story go that Jamie was the second twin born and that he was pulled from the womb clasping onto the leg of his sister. With his hand gone perhaps the link is also severed to?

  26. And how is he going to communicate his findings? I mean, being all detective and finding out how to defeat the White Walkers is great. But it doesn’t help if he can’t get the info out of the cave

  28. I’m both excited and nervous to see Jaime’s emotional journey this season. I have to think that if Cersei had been a total asshole to him, he would have just cut the cord and moved on (finally). But with her being so vulnerable… he kind of had to react the way he did. For once, she’s actually emotionally available and not just this total witch, he’s going to hope that the relationship can still be saved.

    Still though she’s going to start doing some horrible shit again, and Jaime is going to have to decide if that’s the kind of man he still is or not. Hopefully he will choose “not”. I also enjoyed reading Jaime’s letter to Doran that was posted, he seems entirely sensible and diplomatic – somehow I doubt S1 Jaime that murdered Ned’s men & nearly killed Ned because Catelyn arrested Tyrion would be trying to make peace with Doran. He has changed… Cersei is just very difficult for him to fully detach from.

  30. jentario,

    I can’t look up IGN from work what kind of connection ?

    Is that established anywhere that the Night King from the show (referenced by that name in behind the scenes) is the Night King from the books ?
    Because if so we already know what and from when he was : 13th commander of the NW, 8000 years ago.
    Since we know who is the 3 eyed Raven and that he is a lot more contemporary (a bit more than a hundred years old), either both Night Kings are totally different entities, or the 3-eyed Raven interacted with the Night King after he became what he is now.

  31. kit_hepburn:
    Reposting something, only because I suspect it was lost amidst a couple of very, very long posts in another thread. But could this photo of Brienne in S6: http://s1.ibtimes.com/sites/www.ibtimes.com/files/styles/embed-md/public/2016/03/31/game-thrones.jpg

    be at this location? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0xJD5u3A4Y

    If you watch the clip all the way through you’ll see several angles of the door. Seems like a pretty good possibility.

    That looks like the same place! I’d imagine she would have to pass that place at some point.

  32. Green Chili: Can’t help it, but that reminds me of that spoiler / leak about

    …Crushing some recyclable waste into a reusable energy source for the benefit of all Westeros? Maybe the NK is a huge conservationist. Going with that, because the alternative to the end of that sentence sounds sad. O:
