Sources who witnessed the filming of a major scene this week told GoT fan community Watchers On the Wall may play the role of Euron Greyjoy -- if he is even featured this season.

Greyjoy is mentioned several times in the GoT series but most notably in A Feast for Crows. He is the captain of the ship of Silence, which is run by a mute crew.

Filming will reportedly continue at the Ballintoy Harbour for the rest of the week.
