Arya Stark has plans for when we all leave Westeros this year.
It was reported Game of Thrones star Maisie Williams will be starring in a film adaptation of The Owners comic, written by Yves H. and illustrated by artist Herrmann.

The comics' two main characters, Nathan and Terry, are childhood best friends trying to get out of poverty in rural England in the early 1990s.

However, when they do go through with the plan, the doctor and his wife return home early and chaos ensues. We have a feeling we can expect Williams' fighting side that we all know and love from GoT to come out in this role.
While Game of Thrones may be ending this spring, fans could not be more excited to see the cast moving on to amazing new roles.
