While HBO has been busy officially teasing the long-awaited on-screen union of Game of Thrones characters Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, it seems the former will collide with another huge Westeros figure in the forthcoming season.

The spoiler was accidentally revealed by costume designer Michele Clapton while discussing the clothes worn by the King of the North (Kit Harington).

She told UPROXX: “There are times when we removed [the cape] because we wanted [Jon] to be more vulnerable. Especially I think, when he saw Dany, and he went to see her for the first time in the chamber.”

It's here where Clapton confirmed that Snow will later share season seven screen-time with someone else altogether.

“We decided to remove it, but then when he went to see Cersei, we put it on.”

Who is Azor Ahai?

With the HBO series drawing to a close next year, it's expected for characters who have shared minimal - if any - screen-time to meet in the upcoming episodes, however this is the first confirmation that Jon will be heading to King's Landing for a meet with the Lannister Queen (Lena Headey).

Perhaps he's attempting to rally troops for that 'massive sea battle' co-showrunner David Benioff has been teasing?

In a recent interview, Headey stated she had lost out on roles for not flirting with casting directors in auditions.

Game of Thrones returns to HBO on 16 July and will be simulcast at 2am on Sky Atlantic. It will air the following evening (17 July) on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.

You can find a compilation of everything we know so far about the forthcoming episodes (the titles of which have been released by HBO) here, as well as a look at incest in Westeros ahead of Jon's meet with his auntie Dany.
