Speculation: Who will kill Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones Season 7?
By Corey Smith
Cersei Lannister is one of the principal villains on Game of Thrones. She’s back-stabbed her fair share of our favorite characters, blew up half of King’s Landing, and probably doesn’t doesn’t tip well, either. She’s taken to the villain role with relish, climbing over a mountain of bodies to reach the top.
Cersei was a bad apple right from the start, when we met her in “Winter is Coming.” We’ve been rooting for her downfall ever since. But not only has she survived, she’s risen in the world to the point where, at the end of Season 6, she’s sitting on the Iron Throne.
But her reign may be short-lived. Daenerys Targaryen, intent on claiming the throne for herself, is brining her army to Westeros. Arya Stark is back in town, and Cersei’s name is on her list. In short, Cersei has a lot of enemies, and one of them may finally take her down in Season 7. But which one?
Here are, so to speak, our final four: the most likely candidates to topple the new queen. We’ve ranked them in order of who’s most likely to do the deed and finally bring a cathartic sigh of relief to Thrones fans everywhere.
WARNING: SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT
