Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 will feature the much-awaited Battle of Winterfell and there will surely be deaths. A lot of theories are surrounding the yet-to-be-titled episode from the dangers in the crypt to who among the major characters will meet their demise.
In true Game of Thrones style, anyone can die in the Battle of Winterfell -- whether a much-loved character or a minor one. With the upcoming fight with the White Walkers, fans should make their hearts ready to witness a number of deaths, per Elite Daily.
Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright)
Another Stark may say goodbye in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3. Bran wants Jon Snow (Kit Harington) to use him as a bait to lure the Night King (Vladimir 'Furdo' Furdik).
Although his brother opposed, Bran revealed the Night King is after him, so they can be able to trap him if he stays outside and doesn't hide in the crypt. So, Bran may go face-to-face with the leader of the White Walkers once again, and things may not end well for him.
Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie)
The fan-favorite character may take her final bow in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 after she got knighted. The previous feel-good episode may turn into mourning as she is about to lead an army against the White Walkers.
In Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 trailer, she is even seen screaming, "Stand your ground," to her armies. From the looks of it, she is going to meet her death while fighting for the living in this upcoming epic episode.
Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau)
Fans have loved Jaime more in the previous episode after he bravely faced Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), Sansa (Sophie Turner), and Jon Snow to say his vow to fight for the living. However, he is not the fighter that he used to be after losing his hand. So, it is likely that he may face his death in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 because of it.
According to Inverse, Jaime may be fighting alongside Brienne after he volunteered to join her army and fight under her command in the left flank to face the White Walkers. Brienne may do everything to protect him, but she may also find it hard to fight the dead. Will these two die together in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3?
Varys (Conleth Hill)
Melisandre (Carice Van Houten) already hinted Varys' death in the previous season, when they were talking at the Dragonstone, per Metro. As the Red Woman made her way to Volantis, the Spider told her not to return to Westeros.
"Oh I will return dear Spider, one last time. I have to die in this strange country, just like you," Melisandre said in response. Varys will be staying in the crypts of Winterfell just like many others in Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3. However, the place they said to be the safest seems to be a very dangerous one, as it looks like they forget that the Night King can raise the dead.
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3 is about to hit the small screen on Sunday, April 28, at 9 p.m. on HBO. Fans should brace themselves with a handful of deaths they are about to witness.
