The internet went nuts when McShane—who has a "relatively small amount" of screen time on Game of Thrones , but is of "key importance"—hinted at his role in November, and again in early March. "You say the slightest thing and the Internet goes ape," McShane told the Telegraph . "I was accused of giving the plot away, but I just think get a f**king life. It’s only tits and dragons."McShane told Pop Goes The News his character is "responsible for bringing somebody back that you think you're never going to see again."Speaking on Radio 5 Live , McShane all but confirmed he's playing a version of Elder Brother who is suspected to have nursed Sandor "The Hound" Clegane back to health. His character is "a former warrior who has renounced violence, and now leads this peace cult," McShane reported.The actor goes on to explain that his character nurses a "beloved character, a much-loved character," back to life. When the interviewer mentioned The Hound or Jon Snow, McShane replied, "It's not the latter. It might be the former."Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, mentioned that his Game of Thrones character will return as well, but for now, it's only as a corpse.
