While promoting her upcoming film Dark Phoenix, Sophie Turner teased the Game of Thrones finale (which caused "a lot of tears") as one that may divide the show's loyal fan base.

"I think a lot of fans will be disappointed and a lot of fans will be over the moon," she said.

“As an actor it was really satisfying," she told IGN of filming the finale. "I think for everyone, everyone’s storylines — to be able to act out the way that it all ends. It was really satisfying for us. Who knows if it will be satisfying for the fans. I think a lot of fans will be disappointed and a lot of fans will be over the moon, I think. I think it will be really interesting to see people’s reactions, but for me reading the script it was just like heartbreaking…”

Turner (along with Maisie Williams) has grown up on Thrones; Sansa Stark's arc over the series has been one of the most transformative and devastating on the entire show.

"Over the course of the series she’s been completely unaware of what she wants, where she wants to be, who she really is, and at the end of this season, I feel she is the most self-assured character in the show," Turner said in the interview.

Game of Thrones returns in 2019.
