In der Vorfreude auf die kommende fünfte Season von Game of Thrones sind auch etliche neue Gesichter bereits bekannt geworden. Relativ neu dazu gekommen sind Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, den wir alle noch als Mr. Eko aus LOST kennen, sowie Gwyneth Keyworth, die in Misfits zu sehen war.
Bereits seit einigen Wochen stehen neun größere Veränderungen im Cast fest. Die Herren und Damen haben sich im Zuge der Comic Con in einem Video dem Publikum vorgestellt. So könnt ihr schon einmal die Gesichter zu den Rollen lernen – zumindest unkostümiert. Mal schauen, wie die dann alle in ihren Rollen aussehen werden.
Screenrant hat einige kurze Informationen zu den jeweiligen Charakteren zusammen gefasst.
Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell: Doran Martell is the ruling lord of Dorne and older brother to the late Prince Oberyn Martell. Unlike his brother, Doran is even- tempered and deliberate. Now, all of Dorne waits to see how their lord will react to his brother’s death.
Toby Sebastian as Trystane Martell: Trystane Martell is Prince Doran’s son and heir to Dorne. His father betrothed him to Myrcella Baratheon as part of the alliance offered by Tywin Lannister, then Hand of the King.
Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon: Myrcella Baratheon is officially the eldest child of Cersei Lannister and the late King Robert Baratheon, though in truth her father is Cersei’s own brother, Jaime Lannister. For years, she has been a guest and ward of Prince Doran, betrothed to his son, but her position has become tenuous with the death of Oberyn Martell, the Prince’s brother. (NOTE: Free is replacing Aimee Richardson in this role for season 5.)
DeObia Oparei as Areo Hotah: Areo Hotah is the long-serving captain of Doran Martell’s palace guard, renowned for his loyalty and his longaxe.
Enzo Cilenti as Yezzan: Yezzan was an extremely wealthy slave trader before Daenerys Targaryen outlawed the slave trade.
Jessica Henwick as Nymeria (“Nym”) Sand: Nym Sand is the second eldest of the late Prince Oberyn’s bastard daughters. Her mother was an Eastern noblewoman who brought Nym up to be cultured, graceful and deadly with a whip.
Rosabell Laurenti Sellers as Tyene Sand: Tyene Sand is the daughter of the late Prince Oberyn Martell by Ellaria Sand, his final paramour. Tyene is fiercer than she looks, especially with her twin daggers.
Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand: A fearsome warrior, Obara Sand is the eldest bastard daughter of the late Prince Oberyn Martell. Her mother was a Dornish peasant girl who caught the eye of the late Prince.
Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow: A devout and pious man, the High Sparrow came to King’s Landing to serve those forgotten by much of the world – the poor, the downtrodden and the infirm – and quickly amassed a large following. His fellow believers have swarmed over the city, ministering to the lowest and decrying the corruption of the highest.

Ich bin schon sehr gespannt und auch wenn die meisten neuen Charaktere aus Dorne stammen, wird es hoffentlich/vermutlich/höchstwahrscheinlich auch an den anderen Orten spannend weitergehen. Gerade der neue Septon in King’s Landing birgt spannendes Konfliktpotential, wenn man sich an die Buchvorlage hält.
