Some images have also surfaced of Peter Dinklage and Iain Glen in costume at Lough Neagh.

It’a about time for the first Dink sighting. Took long enough. Were those boats part of the production?

It also looks that Peter kept that beard, though it’s hard to be sure from that pic alone.

That small boat looks a lot like a smaller version of the boat in the parking lot they’ve been using, so yeah I’m pretty sure it’s part of the production.

I really want to know if Dinklage still has that beard or if he shaved. I really want to see Tyrion with that beard; it’d fit his current state of mind and overall situation. But dammit, those pictures don’t show it!

I assumed they were out, long ago:

Aegon seems the kind of thing the show would skip, especially now that we know their wish for a 7 season series. It might not just be about that, though: if Aegon is out, nobody will steal Daenerys’ thunder as the sole Targaryen Conqueror. Of course I might be wrong, but at this point I would be surprised to see them. Some people have suggested that the Griffs could be introduced in season 6, but isn’t that utterly ridiculous? From the show’s point of view, Season 5 is already a bit too late to introduce such a game-changing figure (although it already may have been a stretch in the books, the clues were there, since it’s a more richly defined world), so delaying it for no reason until the second-to-last season is unthinkable to me.

I’d have thought the Greyjoys would be easier to introduce organically, very much like Dorne. But the lack of any mention of the Greyjoy uncles in the last 3 seasons tells me they are out too. Hopefully it means more screentime for Yara/Asha, who has been on-screen for about 5 or 10 minutes in the last 2 seasons.

Anyone else has seen this before? It says the actress who played Leaf will be back for “GAME OF THRONES V, ep. 1, HBO, Alex Graves”.

Aegon and Jon Con are cut, a scene with Tyrion and Jorah doesn’t confirm this. Tyrion has no scene with Young and/or old Griff after his kidnapping.
