Winter is Here in GAME OF THRONES 12 New Character Posters

Thank the old gods and the new–and HBO‘s marketing department–for the unexpected bounty of Game of Thrones‘ season seven goodies we’ve been given today. (And on the first day of summer. Perfect.) First we got that amazing new trailer (Sansa! No Sansa don’t!), and now we have twelve new posters to study like we’re Sam with an old book.

First up, the King in the North! What wonderful news about Jon Snow might we….oh seven bloody hells! Blue eyes? Blue skin? Please, please, please don’t be a sign of things to come.

Better look at some more to see if this is a “Jon thing” or an “everybody thing.”

Ah, what a relief. Everyone is probably doomed, not just Jon.

Or, if you’re one of those few remaining hopeful fans of the show who doesn’t always assume the worst, this just might mean everyone is going to have to face the White Walkers this season, and that’s what this entire #WinterIsHere slogan and campaign is referring too.

That seems correct, though in fairness with this show the smart money is always on “doomed.”

So who else got a poster? Beyond the most obvious characters like Jaime, Cersei, Tyrion, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Littlefinger, there are also posters for Tormund, Brienne, and Theon, indicating their roles in season seven could be larger than we might have even guessed based on the trailers so far.

Tormund and the wildlings make up a big part of Jon’s army, and we know from the trailers Jon is heading beyond The Wall. Brienne hasn’t been featured as much in those, but she’s also at Winterfell, the sworn sword of Sansa, and therefore not loyal to Jon Snow. Any animosity between Sansa and Jon could very easily involve Brienne. And Theon looks like he will engage in a massive sea battle with his uncle Euron, which could help decide the fate of King’s Landing, where the Greyjoy ships are, if Euron has allied with Cersei.

We might even have learned something from someone who isn’t included in this posters I can’t help but notice Sam is nowhere to be found here. However, that might indicate an even bigger role for him and big surprise from the Citadel, one the show is trying to hide by leaving him out.

You can see the rest of the posters in our gallery below.

But before you do that stop in our comments section to tell us what you think of these posters, while we are busy placing some money on “everyone is doomed.”

Just in case.
