Game of Thrones season 8: Night King actor teases showdown with Jon Snow

'People will see he has a target he wants to kill'

As the eighth season of Game of Thrones approaches, HBO has finally let slip some information regarding the final season.

First, there was the actual trailer, featuring real footage from the upcoming six episodes.

Now, the actor behind the Night King, Vladamir Furdik, has given a rare interview, revealing that there's a certain character the villainous character is going after.

"People will see he has a target he wants to kill, and you will find out who that is," the actor told Entertainment Weekly.

"There’s also that moment [in the episode “Hardhome”] when Jon Snow was on the boat and the Night King looked at him and raised his arms — there’s a similar and even stronger moment between Jon and the Night King this time."

Asked whether he had a favourite Night King scene, the actor responded: "That’s still coming."
