‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 spoilers: Natalie Dormer teases Margaery Tyrell’s ‘out of holy prison’ theories
Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell in the hit HBO high-fantasy drama “Game of Thrones,” has hinted on her character's fate when Season 6 returns. However, whatever she revealed is not in line with what she had said earlier or the video released by HBO.
[Spoiler Alert] A recent video released by HBO Now showed Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) in King’s Landing and he has a group of soldiers behind him who appear to be Tyrell soldiers. In all probability, that if the series even minutely follows the book, Jamie will attack King’s Landing to free Margaery from the clutches of the High Sparrow (Jonathan Pryce).
However, Dormer, in a recent interview with Vulture, revealed that “Game of Thrones” fans will “see Margaery in a predicament where she genuinely is fearful, and she absolutely has no idea how to get herself out of it.” Apparently Margaery is going to lose control of herself and a bit of her grip.

“In season six of Thrones, you get a hint of that in Margaery. You're like, Has this woman really been changed by everything that's happened to her? Finally, after all these years in King's Landing, has it broken her? Has something genuinely shifted here?,” Dormer said.
Going purely by the situation Margaery was in when “Game of Thrones” Season 5 concluded, Dormer’s statement looks perfect and makes sense. All talks with the High Septon failed and she was thrown inside a holy prison for committing perjury. Her beautiful gowns were replaced with a brown sack and she looked helpless.
However, according to Winter is Coming, a few photos taken during a “Game of Thrones” Season 6 shoot showed Margaery out of the holy jail, even Jamie was spotted. Even if Jamie does not attack, Margaery may be out on bail, awaiting trial. Or the High Sparrow may feel that he has successfully broken Margaery, who somehow becomes a follower of the Faith Militant. The latter may be seen as “losing grip.”
Again, Dormer had earlier told Women’s Health in November that Margaery is a savvy chick and trying to find an angle, a way to get out of the cell. Apparently, the route she takes in “Game of Thrones” Season 6 is “pretty amusing and ingenious.” What does that mean? Does she fake a religious awakening to influence the High Sparrow?
However, fans are eagerly waiting to know about their beloved character Jon Snow’s fate, played by Kit Harington. At the UK Critics’ Circle Awards, Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, teased about the fate of Jon Snow in “Game of Thrones” Season 6, saying fans can expect a “great twist.”
