"Game of Thrones" season 5 is set to kick off on April 12 where a total of eight new characters will be introduced. Among the new characters include the Sand Snakes which have so far been scrutinized.
Apparently some critics feel that the people chosen to play the part (Keisha Castle-Hughes, Jessica Henwick and Rosabell Laurenti Sellers) don't look like desert dwellers. Apparently fans were expecting characters of darker ethnicity and the three actresses in mention were a bit too white for the role.
The three will portray the roles of illegitimate daughters of Oberyn Martell.
Aside from that however are other things to look forward to. There is Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) for instance who is rumored to be stepping up his role where he is expected to make tough new decisions at the Wall.
Fans can also expect to catch a glimpse (for the first time) on what lies inside the world of Dorne. Tommy Dunne takes folks to a virtual tour inside, showing how some weapons are crafted for certain characters, Sand Snakes included.
Aside from weapons, the crafting of armor will also be shown which some viewers are curiously awaiting to see. Check out the video below:
Arya (Maisie Williams) will take on a bigger role in season 5. Among the scenes to watch include one difficult and emotional scenario which according to Maisie will leave fans something to talk about.
Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) is expected to clash with Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) at a certain point in the coming season as well. Tyrion is currently on the run after murdering his father Tywinn.
