Isaac Hempstead Wright Says Bran's Fate in 'Game of Thrones' Was George RR Martin's Plan [SPOILERS]

This story includes spoilers for 'Game of Thrones' Season 8.

Since the finale of Game of Thrones aired, fans have been very open with their mixed opinions on it, even making up their own endings and unsurprisingly, more theories. But some are looking towards to George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series to see if Bran Stark's fate was actually hidden in the pages all along.

According to Bran himself, actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, the book series might actually end with the same shocking twist of Bran becoming King of the Six Kingdoms. For his HBO's Making of Game of Thrones interview, the actor revealed that Martin told Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss two major Bran-related plot points: The "Hold the door" scene, and Bran ultimately becoming king.

“David and Dan told me there were two things George R.R. Martin had planned for Bran, and that was the Hodor revelation, and that he would be king," Hempstead Wright shared. "So that’s pretty special to be directly involved in something that is part of George’s vision. It was a really nice way to wrap it up."

But considering that stories don't always work out how you imagine them, we don't truly know if Bran being crowned will come true in Martin's books. It's also worth pointing out that it has taken Martin eight years to write the sixth book in his series, The Winds of Winter, so he may be changing things up.

The author has addressed whether or not the ending of the show would affect how he ends his series, although his answer wasn't too telling. "How will it all end? I hear people asking," Martin wrote in his blog. "The same ending as the show?  Different? Well… yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes. And no. And yes."

We'll just have to wait for the books to come out to know for sure. The Winds of Winter is supposed to release in 2020, but who knows with Martin.
