With Season 8 of Game of Thrones just around the corner, Isaac Hempstead Wright – who has portrayed Bran Stark in the series – teased some things for fans to look out for while watching the final season, in an interview with Esquire and reported by Empire.

“There are definitely things wrapping up from many, many seasons ago where you’re like: oh, I never thought that would come back,” Hempstead Wright said.

The battle scenes that have been circulating since last spring were mentioned by him as well.

“Obviously there are some big battles. Episode three is going to be something else,” he said.

Hempstead Wright also shared his emotions while wrapping up the final scene that he shot, saying he didn’t want to cry.

“The very last scene I shot – and it was a lot of other people’s last scene – it was actually quite pathetic, everyone was in floods of tears. It was so actorly. They read out ‘that’s a wrap,’ then David and Dan gave a speech, and I remember thinking: I’m not going to cry. I’m feeling fine. Then they brought out our wrap gifts, which were these framed storyboards from a key scene, and the waterworks turned on.”
