Sophie turner in game of thrones season 1

While promoting her new film Dark Phoenix with Jessica Chastain, the 23-year-old actress found herself looking back at the show's early beginnings. When asked if fans had missed any foreshadowing about her character's storyline, Turner said she didn't know and hadn't "really looked back far enough." 

 "The first episode of season one Sansa goes, 'I want to be queen mommy someday,'" she said as a possible clue.

That's when Chastain introduced her to a whole new fan theory. The two-time Oscar nominee asked Turner if she remembered what was on the show's season one poster. As fans of the HBO hit will recall, the promotional art featured Ned Stark (played by Sean Bean) sitting on the Iron Throne. But what really caught fans' attention was the item perched next to the character—a raven.

Last week we wrote about a Game of Thrones poster from season one that basically revealed the ending of the show hidden in plain sight. That secret spoiler made its way to Sophie Turner in a recent interview, and she was understandably shook that she didn't catch it either.

In the promo image from about eight years ago, you can see Ned Stark brooding on the Iron Throne. The picture was resurfaced by Twitter user @thommybell, who noticed there's a clue buried deep in the photo. If you look closely, you can see a raven sitting next to Ned—a dead giveaway that his son Bran Stark, a.k.a. the Three-Eyed Raven, ends up as the leader of the Seven Kingdoms. No one noticed the tiny detail, and most people were amazed once it was pointed out—including Turner.

While Turner was doing promo for her new movie Dark Phoenix, Metro U.K. asked her if there had been any foreshadowing that fans missed when it came to her character Sansa Stark's storyline. Turner said the only hint was in the first episode, when Sansa tells her mother, "I want to be queen, Mommy, someday." That's when her Dark Phoenix costar Jessica Chastain pointed out the whole poster spoiler.

"You know the poster for the first season—you know what’s on it?" Chastain says in the video. “So it’s your papa on the throne, and there’s a raven on the throne, right to his right.”

Turner's reaction was absolutely priceless.

The actor has been answering tons of questions about Game of Thrones on this press junket. Just a few days ago, Sky News asked her if she ever saw herself reprising her role as Sansa. Her answer will break your heart, though it's understandable in a way: “I think it’s time to say goodbye to Sansa,” she told the outlet.

In 2012, she was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a TV Series – Supporting Young Actress for her performance as Sansa, alongside her on-screen sister, Maisie Williams.
