Game Of Thrones Season 7: 11 Major Plot Hints From The New Trailer

9. The Hound Goes North... And South

Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer The Hound
HBO

Sandor Clegane is a busy man. Not merely content with coming back from the 'dead', he's since joined the Brotherhood Without Banners and is heading north to face the real threat.

However, while we largely knew that would be happening in same way or another, what's more surprising is the apparent presence of the Hound in the south.

While it's a shadowy figure and we can't see his face, that has to be the Hound we're seeing there, and a Hound getting ready for battle at that. So if he goes south and is fighting someone, just who could that be?

Get hype, because Cleganebowl is coming! Maybe. Probably not. But we can dream, until those dreams are crushed like the skull of Oberyn Martell.

Even if it's not Cleganebowl, though, it's interesting to see Sandor heading back to King's Landing (if that's where this is) or somewhere relatively close, given how much he needed to get away. There must be a good reason for that, and presumably he's on the side of the good guys, which would put him against the likes of Cersei, Euron, and, yes, Gregor.
