Just days after Ian McShane was announced to be playing an undisclosed role in season six of Game of Thrones, fans have even more reason to be excited with the announcement that Max von Sydow will be the new Three-Eyed Raven, taking over from Struan Rodger, who played the character in the season four finale.
The Raven is Bran Stark’s companion, teaching him about his supernatural abilities. Bran, who, along with his pals, didn’t appear in season five, is confirmed to be making a return in season six.
It is unclear how much of an impact von Sydow’s character will have, but like Ian McShane, the role is thought to be small, but crucial.
Season six is currently being filmed in Europe, and will screen on HBO in April, 2016.
