Figured this should get its own thread now

More casting calls went out today: http://watchersonthewall.com/more-casting-info-for-game-of-thrones-season-6/

most notably:

Spoiler

- Arthur Dayne flashback looks VERY likely - Looking like Greatjon Umber might be recast :( Would suck, the first guy was perfect. But on the plus side, if they're showing him that means Rickon/Osha will be back - The outlaw band is likely either Brotherhood Without Banners or the Broken Men. Considering a Septon Meribald casting is likely according to the previous call, it's probably the latter. But if it's the former... Stoneheart sighting???

Is she even a big part of the books or [will] be a big part?

Probably, but it's hard to say ADWD spoilers + The last we hear of her, Brienne is taking Jaime to her, presumably so he can be killed. Or if not, then some other major shit is gonna go down. It seems like a pretty big omittance no matter what But considering what the show did in S5, they don't really seem afraid of drastically altering characters' storylines, so it's possible that they just find another means to achieve the same end. Although Stoneheart is a cool twist, it's not something I'd be overly upset about them getting rid of honestly. I'm not a big fan of resurrections in general, it feels cheap

true, but...

Spoiler	+
it's not like LSH is a typical "hey guys i was dead but now i'm not" resurrection, though

Hell of a casting. I'd love him to be portraying a Greyjoy, but that whole thing seems dead in the water.

He'll be great at whoever he winds up playing.

probably the first time I've been happy about a character getting recast

suddenly i want to see everything about bran's story

No one can save Bran's story

so McShane is playing someone who's not Euron OR Randyll?? Interesting. My best guess for him would be Marwyn then

McShane couldnt be playing Victarion?

I dunno, the guy they got to play Euron is in his 30s, it'd be pretty weird for Victarion to be more than twice Euron's age
