Originally, it was just the body doubles for Peter Dinklage and Sophie Turner who were spotted meaning that characters Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark would be based in that location alongside Arya whose presence was confirmed after Maisie Williams was spotted near the Itálica ruins.
Any doubts that the series wasn't bringing a huge Dragonpit-based scene to fans were cast aside following a glimpse of Dinklage himself as well as Turner, Kit Harington, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Gwendoline Christie, Liam Cunningham and John Bradley. Coupled with the fact that David Benioff and D.B Weiss are around, it seems the cast could be assembling for a scene set to take place in the final ever episode considering the showrunning duo will be directing it.
This is all speculation, of course, but the presence of the aforementioned characters alongside the likes of Jon Snow, Bran, Brienne, Ser Davos and Samwell Tarly hints at something big going down in King's Landing.
In addition to this, Winter Is Coming reports that Nikolaj Coster Waldau (Jaime), Conleith Hill (Varys) and Joe Dempise (Gendry) were also spotted meaning unaccounted for characters include Daenerys, Cersei, The Hound and Theon Greyjoy.
