SPOILER ALERT! You have been warned.

Dead "Game Of Thrones" Cast Isaac H. Wright, a.k.a. Bran Stark, who is set to return for "Game of Thrones" Season 6 recently had fans scrambling after potential spoilers.


Wright recently took to Twitter to post a photo while hanging out with co-stars Dean-Charles Chapman (Tommen Baratheon) and Nell Tiger Free (Myrcella Baratheon). While the snapshot might mean just three friends out and about one sunny afternoon, "Game of Thrones" fans are too excited for the next season not to make their own speculations.

Many are hinting that Wright may be hinting at Myrcella's return for the next season. Speculations of Myrcella's return to "Game of Thrones" Season 6 was actually because of Wright's later tweet that he was "back" in Belfast, Ireland, for filming. Fictional Winterfell is shot in Belfast.

The photo shared by Wright could also mean Bran's possible return to his home after training with the three-eyed raven. Bran has been missing in Season 5 and could possibly meet up with sister Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) after her desperate attempt to run away from despised husband, Ramsay Bolton (Iwan Rheon).

A trademark characteristic of "Game of Thrones" is its inclination toward shocking and brutal deaths, but with Season 5, this fondness for viewers' shocked faces reached new levels with a horde of surprising and brutal deaths.

First Barristan Selmy died in Mereen. Then Master Aemon Targaryen's life ended helplessly as he defended the Unsullieds. Princess Shereen Baratheon's death was perhaps most brutal as she became a sacrifice for the Lord of Light and Stannis Baratheon's ambitions of becoming king.

As "Game of Thrones" Season 5 ended, three major characters, Stannis Baratheon, Myrcella Baratheon, and Jon Snow, were removed from the face of the "Game of Thrones" universe.

Fans know all too well that once a character has died, despite being a fan favorite, there is no bringing that character back. Yet because of the rendezvous of dead "Game of Thrones" actors in Belfast as production begins, many are hoping that some of the dead might arise.

Wright's photo with Chapman and Free was posted before he tweeted he was in Belfast. Therefore, there is no actual confirmation that Myrcella survived the poison of the Sand Snakes. And even if Nell Tiger Free do appear in "Game of Thrones" Season 6, it might simply be to show Myrcella's corpse being brought to Cersei.

Based on filming, it is not likely for Chapman and Free to be in Ireland. Myrcella's last appearance in Season 5 was on a ship sailing away from Dorne, which was filmed in Spain. Tommen, Chapman's character, was last seen moping in King's Landing following the jail sentence of his wife and mother. Kings Landing is filmed in Croatia, reported The International Business Times.

Perhaps the most difficult to explain is Jon Snow's death.

Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, was also spotted in Belfast and at Wimbledon championships wearing Jon Snow's trademark long hair and beard, reported fan site Watchers on the Wall. This has caused fans who refuse to believe Snow's death to argue that Jon Snow will be returning for "Game of Thrones" Season 6. It also reportedly does not make sense for Snow to die since the mystery of his parentage has not been resolved, which many believe has massive implications to the "Game of Thrones" story as a whole.

How will Jon Snow return? One theory suggests that he will be nursed back after he slips into the body of his Direwolf Ghost. There is another theory that Melisandre, who returned unexpectedly to the Knight's Watch castle, will resurrect him through the power of the Lord of Light.

There has been no photographic evidence of Harington in Belfast. However, there has also been no updates from Harrington himself whether he is in Romania since Wimbledon, as reported by The Inquisitr.

According to Forbes, other possible resurrection could be Stephen Dillane, a.k.a. Stannis Baratheon. While he was injured in battle and killed by Brienne as she swung her sword at him to avenge Renly, his death was not shown in graphic detail, which is out of character for the series. Brienne's slashing could mean her hitting the tree behind Stannis as opposed to taking his head off.

There was not a major character's death in the "Game of Thrones" that had not been shown in detail, except probably for the Hound, though some believe he might still be alive.

There is a possibility that Stannis is being kept hostage by Brienne since it could provide her opportunities of rescuing Sansa. She could reportedly trade him to the Boltons for Sansa, even though she has no knowledge of her escape with Theon Greyjoy.

In some capacity, the three major deaths in "Game of Thrones" Season 5 are all cliffhangers since major characters' deaths in previous seasons from Ned to Joffrey had been in gory detail.

There have also been early hints of someone coming back to life, but fans would just have to wait for "Game of Thrones" Season 6 to see who might be resurrected.
