With filming now fully underway on Game of Thrones season 7 the spoilers are coming in thick and fast, and there’s a particularly juicy one this morning squeezed from the Spain shoot, so stop reading now if you want to wait until next summer.
With Daenerys Targaryen finally set to reach Westeros in season 7, she’s likely to encounter many key characters for the first time, starting with Brienne of Tarth and Davos Seaworth.
Her scene with the pair, which presumably saw her joined by aides Missandei and Tyrion Lannister, was shot in Italica, according to Watchers on the Wall , which is believed to be serving as the Dragonpit.
For non-book readers, the Dragonpit is pretty much how it sounds and located in a very old building near King’s Landing.
Daenerys and Brienne are two of the Seven Kingdoms’ most formidable women and would surely prove a powerful alliance. Brienne and Davos have also been spotted with Jon Snow, so this meeting could tie into a potential Starkgaryen alliance.
