Maisie Williams Shuts Down a Sexist 'Game of Thrones' Theory During Comic-Con Panel

Maisie Williams appears on stage during the Game of Thrones panel held at 2019 Comic-Con on Friday (July 19) in San Diego, Calif.

The 22-year-old actress was joined at the event by her co-stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Isaac Hempstead Wright, Jacob Anderson, John Bradley, Liam Cunningham, and Conleth Hill.

During the panel, Maisie was asked about a sexist theory that some fans have about the scene where Arya kills the Night King. The fan theory says that Jon Snow helped Arya kill him, but she responded with a big, “NO!”

“She did it on her own. But if we’re to give credit to anyone, it would be Melisandre for getting Arya’s head back on track,” Maisie said.

Maisie was also asked about where Arya would be now and if she’d ever get back with Gendry.

“Arya has always been a lone wolf, always felt a bit of a misfit in her own family,” she said. “I don’t think being with a partner is what would make her feel the most fulfilled.”

FYI: Nikolaj is wearing an IWC watch.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau has an idea for a Game of Thrones sequel!

The 48-year-old actor, who played Jaime Lannister on the hit HBO show – which just premiered its series finale on Sunday (May 19) – took to Instagram on Monday to share his thoughts.

He starts off by humming the theme song before addressing fans: “So how about that final episode? Most viewers ever – but it’s over.”

“It’s kinda sad,” he continued. “What a great 10 years. Thank you so much for watching. I’m just grateful. That episode, it was amazing! I really thought it was a great ending. And Arya…”

“I know they’re doing all these prequels, but what about the sequel?” he mused. “With Arya? How about – I’m just throwing something out here – how about a petition? An online petition to HBO that they do a sequel with Arya Stark.”

Arya is portrayed by Maisie Williams in the series.
