Mark Gatiss will be coming back for "Game of Thrones" season 5 and is purportedly filming in Croatia next week, according to Entertainment Weekly, to the delight of the many fans. It could be recalled that he appeared in the epic fantasy series as Tycho Nestoris, the representative of the Iron Bank of Braavos.
According to Hypable, the "Sherlock" actor's role is a small one, but it has proven to be significant in the conclusion of the fourth season and may change the political ruling in Westeros. Gatiss is better known for his role as Mycroft Holmes in "Sherlock" and in writing for both "Sherlock" and "Doctor Who," which helped in his acceptance as part of the American TV series. Gatiss will be coming back to portray Nestoris again in his native land, Braavos, with Croatia potentially serving the fictional location.
Apart from that, Season 5 is said to be showcasing the unexplored side of Westeros. One of the areas that fans of "Game of Thrones" are excited to see is Dorne, the only unconquered land of Westeros. IGN recalls the death of fan favorite Dorne emissary to Joffrey's wedding, Oberyn Martell in Season 4, which could lead to enraged individuals from the separated city. The article also shares that scenes in Dorne will be shot in Spain, which could give it the different vibe that the place is known for.
Moreover, IGN talked of another area in a separate report that fans would like to see, at least in a video game. Based on the title information provided by Telltale for its digital version for "Game of Thrones," the video game will be featuring Wolfswood. The tech site recalled that in the books, Stannis Baratheon had been aided by scouts of Lady Glover as he made his march to Winterfell, which included passing Wolfswood.
The site wrote further, "Stannis makes Iron from Ice by intervening in the goings on at The Wall. If we assume "Iron" refers to power, he wins the iron swords of the Northmen, who are likely the ice in this interpretation. Or, possibly, it refers to Stannis earning the "Iron Throne" by being the only individual to actually care for the good of the realm by taking the fight to the Others, beings as cold as ice. Also, he does this by paying the iron price valued so highly by House Greyjoy, through strength rather than political intrigue and riches."
