San Diego Comic-Con is always an interesting time for Game of Thrones, but this time it will be even more so than ever before. Usually, we get casting announcements at most, as next season is early in production. This time, however, the Game of Thrones panel will take place as season seven airs, between the first and second episodes!
With this increased interest, the question of who will attend has also been made with more fervor. Today, at last, we have a full cast member line-up.
As well as via Twitter, HBO has made its announcement via press release:
“The GAME OF THRONES panel in Hall H at 1:30 p.m. will be moderated by a special guest from Westeros. Panelists include cast members (in alphabetical order) Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy), Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Conleth Hill (Varys) and Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark). Autograph signing is at 3:30 p.m.”
That is a relatively strong line-up. Hopefully, with the show already on air, we’ll get to see a late-season trailer specifically created for SDCC. However, even if that happens, it wouldn’t be unprecedented for the trailer to be exclusive to the audience, with no official version online. That written… leaks are known to happen!
The Game of Thrones panel will be held very soon after the season seven premiere, on Friday, July 21, so you’d better get ready!
First time the panel will be taking place with the season airing. Interesting.
I’ll be skipping this, but I trust WotW will give us a summary of what my son Bran had to say.
Hopefully someone from the cast line-up will announce the title of the first episode of season 7 ๐
The panel is 4 days after the premiere will already have aired.
firstone,
I was about to say we’ll already know when I realized what you were saying. Now, that IS funny ๐
Not excited for Sophie lol?
Luka!
I will be there! It’s the one day I have tickets to!!! *hyperventilating*
Luka Nieto,
I don’t get it.. ahahaha

Dee Stark,
We have been waiting for the episode titles so long that it’d be darkly funny for the title of the premiere not to be revealed until AFTER it aired ๐
Having Jacob there makes me get worried about Grey Worm, itยดs his first time.
Sounds like a good panel: Liam, John, Gwen and Conleth are so funny!
Maybe Sansa/Bran reunion in episode 1 or 2?
Maisie has been really quiet this off season
๐
I was thinking the same when I saw his name on the list. I wouldn’t use the word “worried” because I never loved the character, no disrespect to JA, but I think his debut at SDCC is ominous and could be foreshadowing a curtain call.
Other than that let’s hope the audience questions are better than usual and Sophie doesn’t drunkenly fall off her chair
Seriously though, where the heck *are* the episode titles?
I dont think we gonna have a red carpet this year, really weird nothing about it until now.
Thank you! At least I’m not the only one.
Again, thank you. Good to see I’m not the only one who realizes something is off.
Luka Nieto,
OH LOLOL!!!!!
I’m sure Sophie will say nothing in this panel about Sansa being disrespected by Jon and deserving of power over Jon and how Sansa should have listened to Littlefinger.
orange,
I hope she does
How much it gets to some fans is very amusing…. lol.
Sigh I want the 2011 with the main actors back.Anyway I’m exited for Alfie and John.I hope they let them talk lol.
Well That’s mildly disappointing. Ah well, the recaps always tell us what we need to know. Wish Carice was there to butt heads with Liam.
Megan,
Thats great, come back and tell us how it went!
I’ve been to San Diego so many times during the con, but as much as I wanted to go, I don’t – big rowdy crowds and I do not mix well. But I love reading about it! Looking forward to a video about the panel
Luka Nieto,
Its ‘this episode has no name’ !
I was also hoping for the main characters as well.
I’m excited to see John, Gwendoline, Liam and Isaac! I hope they all get asked some good questions this year. ๐
Jack Bauer 24,
She has been busy working back to back on movies. Right now she is in Boston filming new mutants
I’d also been hoping that some of the A-tiers would return this year, but alas. Maybe I’ll fast forward to the Gwen, Liam, John, and Conleth bits once it’s uploaded.
Loving all the press today.
1. Davos and Varys. Not bad. But you really can’t have a “relatively strong” lineup without The Many-Faced Goddess. Although Liam C. always has interesting things to say, he will probably get asked stock questions like [the now-irrelevant] “Who do you think should be on the Iron Throne?”, and the vacuous “If you could play another character, who would it be?”
2. I see that the anticipatory Sophie Turner interview feeding frenzy has begun.
Pigeon,
I think I read [here] recently that Carice bowed out of Con of Thrones. Any reason why?
Frankly, I was surprised she was booked to appear to begin with. I thought she recently had a child, and I assume she lives overseas, away from Nashville.
Nice panel ! John Bradley is always a hoot.
Pearls shall be clutched ^^
Charlie Stark,
I am sorry to ask but what is New Mutants ? (God, I feel old ^^)
Hopefully something really good happens during the first episode so they can talk about it at length, otherwise they won’t be able to comment on anything.
I don’t dislike Sansa, as many others here, and I certainly don’t dislike Sohpie in general, but last year’s panel was ruined for me because of her behavior. Hopefully this year she brings her A-game to the panel.
ACME,
Is a new Xmen spinoff….

Disappointing to not see the A-Tier there but hopefully they will make a appearance for the final season. Good to see Alfie and Jacob there however, I’ve noticed they have both been more involved in promotion this season which is good.
I can’t wait to see footage from Con of Thrones too!! I wish I could have gone. Really looking forward to pictures.
I just saw the trailer for Inhumans with Iwan Rheon (looking lovely as usual), and….ehhh…..gonna have to see another one before I judge. Could be pretty schlocky.
I’m not sure the reason for her not making Con of Thrones – anyone here that’s going/involved in it heard why?
Why is always the same people that do these conventions?
Charlie Stark,
Thanks a lot !
How cute ! Both Stark sisters are mutants now ^^
H.Stark,
Some of the main ac ators haven’t been to a con in yearsn BummeR.
Does Peter Dinklage ever attended the SDCC??
Orys Stark,
He has before, I remember pictures of the 5 A-Tier actors in a photoshoot at Comic Con, he hasn’t been in quite q while however like the rest of the A-Tier
Orys Stark,
Yeah he was there in 2011 and 2013
