Game Of Thrones season 6: Ian McShane teases character will 'bring somebody back'

Now that hugely-popular television show Game Of Thrones has reached the same point as George RR Martin's fantasy novels in terms of storyline, it's anyone's guess as to what will happen next. Especially considering how many new faces they've added ahead of the next instalment.

As season six is expectedly shrouded in mystery, newcomer Ian McShane has opened up about his currently unknown role and just what part he will play in the upcoming episodes.

In an interview with Pop Goes The News, the Deadwood actor intriguingly stated: "I am responsible for bringing somebody back that you think you're never going to see again," the 73-year-old told the publication (via Vanity Fair). "I'll leave it at that."

Fans of the show online have long speculated that McShane will appear as Septon Meribald (the Elder Brother), a leader of the community on The Quiet Isle. A character known to have powerful abilities as a healer, McShane's tease certainly ties in with the rumour, but only time will tell who he's actually playing.

Either way, we won't get to see him for long... "[It's] a one-off episode," he continued. "That's why I did it. But I can't reveal anything, otherwise I will never work again.
