– Lena Headey wished for a major plot point to be included in the final season of Game of Thrones
– The abandoned plot point was a showdown between Cersei Lannister and Tyrion Lannister
– Headey described it as a “lost opportunity”
In “Game of Thrones”, Lena Headey played the infamous Cersei Lannister, and recently shared her thoughts regarding a significant storyline that never made it into the show’s final season. This particular story arc involved a face-to-face clash between her character, Cersei, and her brother Tyrion Lannister. The actress stated that she also wanted to see this plot point materialize in the final season.
During an interview with The Times, Headey revealed that she had a conversation with her friend, and co-star, Peter Dinklage (who portrayed Tyrion Lannister) about their desired scene. “We talked about it,” she stated, “and it never happened, and we were both like ‘Off… what a lost opportunity.'”
The supposed confrontation between the two siblings, who notoriously had a dysfunctional relationship, would have been a climactic moment in the series. Fans of the show also expressed their disappointment at the missed opportunity for this anticipated scene. Despite this, Lena Headey remains proud of her time on the critically acclaimed series and the character she played for eight seasons.
