Harry Potter fans will already know Broadbent from his lovable turn as Professor Slughorn and the actor will yet again be playing an academic in a beloved fantasy franchise because he's set to play a maester in Season 7.
In an interview with Screenscrush, Broadbent said that "I’m a maester, an archmaester. I’m an old professor character."
The actor also stated that he will be appearing in five of the seven episodes of Season 7 and that he'll be acting alongside John Bradley(Samwell Tarly)
“I did five episodes. I did sort of one major scene in each episode", he said.
Given that he's playing a maester, fans of the book have already started to speculate about who Broadbent might be playing.
While nothing official has been announced yet, it's widely assumed that he has been cast as Maester Marwyn.
If you need a quick reminder, in Martin’s novel A Feast for Crows, Marwyn is the character that Sam shares information with about everything that he’s seen beyond The Wall with the White Walkers.
After hearing about Daenerys and her dragons, Marwyn then mysteriously vanishes to find the Mother of Dragons.
Unlike winter, the new episodes can't come quickly enough.Explore more on these topics:
