The shocking season 5 finale of "Game of Thrones" showed a beloved character getting stabbed repeatedly, and weeks after the episode aired, fans are still reeling over the apparent death of Jon Snow. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, actor Kit Harington himself said that he's been told his character is dead and that he's not coming back next season, and director David Nutter also confirmed this, saying, "Jon Snow is dead."
However, it looks like the producers of the HBO show and author George R.R. Martin might have a surprising twist in store for everyone as Harington was spotted walking around Belfast, Northern Ireland on Tuesday, July 21, with another "Game of Thrones" star.
It has been earlier reported that season 6 of the hit fantasy series has begun filming in Belfast, and fan site Watchers on the Wall was quick to share a photo of Harington arriving at the airport, and the site reports that Tom Wlaschiha, who plays Jaqen H'ghar, was on the same flight. Harington was also photographed walking around town with co-star Ben Crompton, who plays Eddison Tollet.
In the photos taken at the airport, Harington's hair is tied back into a bun, and fans who bumped into the actor claimed that he refused to take pictures with them because he "wasn't allowed." For his stroll with Crompton, Harington covered up with a hooded jacket and wore a pair of eyeglasses.
Fans had already speculated that the 28-year-old actor will return to the series after he was seen still sporting his character's signature hairstyle at Wimbledon earlier this month.
Watchers on the Wall speculates that Harington could be in Belfast to simply film a funeral scene, but considering that he has reportedly made "many visits" to the location in the past months during pre-production, the site claims that it's possible that Jon Snow will be seen alive and well when the show returns for its sixth season.
