Speaking to BBC Breakfast this morning, Ian McShane dropped some major hints about his still officially unnamed Game Of Thrones character for season six.

After stating, “Game Of Thrones… I can’t talk about that, of course…” he than proceeded to talk about it, though in predictably vague terms.

“My character is really an ex-warrior who has become a peacenik. So I have this group of peaceful… sort of  like a cult peaceful tribe, who  have brought back… I bring back this much-loved character who everybody thinks is dead.”

So, is he referring to Jon Snow? Or is this all part of an orchestrated big tease? Is there a different much-loved character who could be revived? The Hound? Ned Stark? Joffrey? (We jest…!)

Trust no one!
