Every Game of Thrones Spoiler We Know for Season 7

Daenerys’ dragons will be “the size of 747s”

Matt Shakman, a newbie to Game of Thrones, is directing two episodes of season 7. When speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he said some interesting things about Dany’s children:

"The dragons this year are the size of 747s. Drogon is the biggest of the bunch — his flame is 30-feet in diameter!"

That’s big. You can get an idea of how big by looking at the size of Drogon’s new greenscreen stand-in, which was photographed outside Titantic Studios in Belfast in February.

Now compare that to the dragon rigs from past seasons:

It’s clear the dragons have been getting their protein.

Anyway, there’s a reason we bring this point up now, right after talking about Jon’s misadventures beyond the Wall. According to rumor, Dany may take her dragons north and arrive in the nick of time to rescue Team Jon when they’re beset by that violent horde of wights. Admittedly, there’s no photographic proof of this bit, but that massive rig has to be good for something.

Next: And now for something completely different. Really.
