PIC: This returning Game of Thrones character looks very different…

Kevin Beirne

Game of Thrones is set to return to our screens sometime next April, and we’re already giddy with excitement.

In the long months between seasons, we can’t help but jump on any extra hints as to the goings on in Westeros.

While this latest look at the new season isn’t exactly mind-blowing in terms of what it means for the story, it still is strange.

Having not featured at all in season five, it’s expected that Bran Stark will feature heavily this time around.

And it appears that Bran has done an awful lot of growing up during his gap year, or at least actor Isaac Hempstead Wright has.

Rather than the slight, innocent child who was (spoilers) pushed out a window in the first episode of the show, Bran now looks more like someone who can handle himself – and also looks more like the kind of person you might build one of the most successful programs in the history of television around.

It’s just a thought.
