‘Game of Thrones’ Season 7 Spoilers: Bran Stark May Die, Hints Isaac Hempstead Wright

Isaac Hempstead Wright recently cast doubt that Bran Stark survives in "Game of Thrones" Season 7. The actor admitted that he is worried that his character may die before he could tell Jon Snow about his real parents.

Hempstead talked about his character in "Game of Thrones" Season 7 in a recent interview. The actor admitted that things are not looking so good for Bran when the show returns in July. Now that Bran is the Three-Eyed-Raven, his life is more at risk.

Hempstead hinted that when "Game of Thrones" Season 7 opens, Bran is still lost. He does not know what to do. He is still worried about things he cannot control. Of course, he is worried that he may become a pawn, especially with his immense power.

Bran now has the gift of foresight, after the death of the Three-Eyed-Raven. He can see not only the future but also the past. This makes him an easy target for the enemy. "He's only with Meera now, and he's out in the middle of nowhere, so it's not looking great," Hempstead told Entertainment Weekly.

The young star added that in "Game of Thrones" Season 7, Bran is still in the same position he was in when Season 6 ended. He still has so many questions and doubts about his fate moving forward. There is also that matter with Jon Snow's parentage.

According to Hempstead, Bran worries that he may not be able to cross the Wall and reach Winterfell in time to let Jon know about his parents. Season 6 ended with the revelation that the new King of the North is actually the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. Bran saw Jon's birth with the help of the former Three-Eyed-Raven.

Regardless, Hempstead's doubts about Bran's fate contradict spoilers for "Game of Thrones" Season 7. According to Vanity Fair, it is likely that Bran and Meera enter the Wall even after Benjen warns them about the spell that protects it. Fans may remember that the spells around the Wall are the same that protect the Three-Eyed-Raven's cave. Bran was able to get inside the cave because he has the Night's King's mark.

Likewise, previous spoilers for "Game of Thrones" Season 7 revealed that Bran eventually tells Jon that he is a Targaryen. He reveals this to him when he arrives at Winterfell to reunite with Sansa and Arya.
