Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer: 6 Big Hints (& 7 Questions We Have)

4. Jon Rides Rhaegal

Game Of Thrones Dragons

While it's difficult to see whether or not Jon actually is riding a dragon at any point in this trailer, there is a massive suggestion that it's going to happen.

We see him and Dany approach her two children, who've clearly just been enjoying a snack, and while it may just be a visit, the amount of shots of the dragons flying in this trailer suggest they're taking them out for a spin.

That would mean Jon gets to ride Rhaegal, the dragon that's named after his father, in a moment dripping with symbolism. Seeing Daenerys take flight for the first time was an awesome moment, and it'll likely be the same for Jon too, and certainly so if the reveal of his parentage soon follows.
