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

5. Where Is Tyrion?

Once upon a time, Tyrion was the best and most prominent character in Game of Thrones, and also its most marketable. He got all the most memorable lines and some of the greatest things to do. HIs stock has fallen in recent years though, and he gets just a single shot in the trailer.

Being generous, though, it might be because they're attempting to hide just what Tyrion's up to this season. There's definitely a feeling that he might betray Daenerys, especially as he sees her falling in love with Jon Snow, and it's interesting that the only time we see him is in what looks like a totally different location to just about everyone else. It could be the ground covered in ash, but there's a look on his face that feels tinged with a bit of regret and sadness, which might mean he's gone to Cersei. It could be nothing, but, well, Tyrion needs something major to do this season.
