Gendry (played by Joe Dempsie) returned to Game of Thrones after he went into hiding following his kidnap.
Being smuggled back into the show by Davos Seaworth (Liam Cunningham) last season brought him face-to-face with Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and the white walkers.
With his royal bloodline, fans have theorised that he may attempt to take over from Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) if he gets the chance.
But if he were to take over, what kind of ruler would he be?
Joe recently spoke about Gendry’s intentions, and where he may be headed in the final season.
Joe told Metro: “I really like the idea of it going straight to his head if he became a kind of leader. Turning up in Dalmatian fur and stuff straight away.”
“When I reflect on Gendry’s journey through the series I’m increasingly pleased with the way it’s gone on a personal level.
“When I left the show for a bit after season three, I do think I started to take the show slightly for granted; knowing for July and December I was going to be back on Thrones seeing all my old mates and have a bit of work.
“It almost got to the point where I would define the success, or otherwise, of my year by what else I’d done work-wise outside Game Of Thrones. I’d almost forget that I’d done it.”
Joe also discussed filming the final season, and what it feels like being a part of one of the biggest shows ever conceived.
He revealed: “We’re filming [the final season] now. It’s been a fairly long process. We started in October and we’re potentially not going to be done till summer.
“The excitement is palpable on set, so just to be involved in something you know is going to cause such a stir – I can only imagine the hysteria there’s going to be by the time the show comes out next year.
“It’s going to have been such a long wait for everybody and to be a part of it is incredible.”
He went on to say that he “really appreciated” working with Kit, Alfie Allen, and Gwendoline Christie.
