'Game Of Thrones' Update: Conor McGregor Plays A Sailor, Emilia Clarke Spotted In Caceres

Everybody saw 'Game of Thrones' Season 6 finale with Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke), appointing Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) as the Hand of the Queen and set off sail to Westeros. But what will happen next? We've only seen a few leaks and short news clips of what Season 7 would look like.

It was announced that Ireland's first UFC Champion, Conor McGregor would star in the next season of the hit HBO show, Game of Thrones. The MMA Fighter would play a ship's crew member of Euron Greyjoy's ship, the Silence.

McGregor's role will be silent since the King of the Iron Islands cut off everyone's tongue on the ship. Contrary to the real world, McGregor's is known as a motormouth in the ring. With this piece of info, fans speculate if the champ would have a cameo role or not.

Nevertheless, he will be there. Confirming the MMA fighter's screen role, UFC President Dana White said, "I knew that a few months ago that they were interested in putting him in the show. I'm glad he did it. It'll be great."

Film production for the new season started on Monday taking place at Malpartida, Spain. Pictures have leaked online with viewers guessing on what is to be a dragon fight scene. Afterward, once the production wrapped up, the cast and crew are expected to move soon to Cáceres. Clarke has already been spotted in the city, and so is Dinklage.

The filming continued in the provincial capital's Old Town. Flags of Westeros are being put up proving what the town will be. From Monday to Thursday, preparations have been made for the brief filming on December 14 and 15.

Meanwhile, Belfast in Ireland is also prepping for a scene. Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow, was seen around the city.
