Game Of Thrones Season 7: 7 Rumours Confirmed By The Trailer

5. Jon And Tormund Go Beyond-The-Wall

Kristofer Hivju, who plays Tormund Giantsbane, started off some speculation last year when he posted a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram, showing off his snow-flecked beard.

That led to speculation Tormund would be appearing Beyond-the-Wall in Season 7, which isn't too much of a stretch really, and some location rumours and guesswork suggesting he'd be with Jon Snow in those scenes (again, not too much of a stretch).

The trailer, then, confirms as much, as we see Jon and Tormund running for their lives through the deep snow. Though we don't see the location, it'd be strange if this wasn't Beyond-the-Wall, given the fact they're clearly terrified. It also appears they're part of the same group we see earlier on, who are also running away. We don't see what they're running from, but then we don't really need to: at the very least wights, and potentially even White Walkers.
