Famous dead person Sean Bean has a scorcher of a take about who will survive Game Of Thrones
After repeatedly biting it on both film and TV, Sean Bean is bringing his ability to memorably die onscreen to a new medium: Video games. Bean is your first target in the upcoming Hitman 2, and the actor is well-aware of how his reputation precedes him.

As of now, we’d put our Gold Dragons on Sansa being the show’s lone surviving Stark. As for who will sit on the throne? Well, there’s a reason one particular character returned in such dramatic fashion last season…
