Former Game of Thrones star Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell) has yet to hang up her crown. Only this time, instead of ruling over the Seven Kingdoms, she’s the queen of a fantasy realm in desperate need of Nespresso, and her valiant knight Ser George Clooney is on hand to get her a cup…at least, that’s how the commercial seems like it’s going to play out.

Sharing the screen with actress Natalie Dormer, he defies space and time to get his hands on his favourite coffee. From a royal court of the Middle Ages to the modern day streets of New York, George stops at nothing to get his hands on his reward – Nespresso Coffee."
