Game of Thrones star Lena Headey had a very different ending in mind for how Cersei Lannister’s story should end in the show’s final season, but the showrunners had other plans.Back in 2019, Headey shared how she was disappointed in how the show’s ending, noting at the time how it was in contrast to what she had “dream[ed]” about for the character. In a new interview with THR, Headey opened up more on her Game of Thrones ending, specifying how she would have preferred Cersei’s story arc to conclude. The Emmy-nominated actress said the ideal ending would’ve been for Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) to surprise Cersei by confronting her while disguised as her lover/brother, Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). This is also said to be something Williams really wanted as well.”I think all of us [cast members had ideal endings in mind for our characters], to be honest, because you start trying to write the story yourself,” Headey said. “And [Williams] and I would fantasize about a Cersei and Arya showdown; that she would come back as Jaime. That was our dream. But they made different choices.” Headey clarified that she understands that the show’s creative team was under great pressure with the final season, adding, “I think in hindsight, everybody understands that. You’re in it, and you’ve been so invested, there’s a moment of, ‘Why?’ But I absolutely get it.”Game of Thrones Does Call Back to House of the Dragon – Here’s How
