Kit Harington
HBO
Following his career-making role as Jon Snow (a.k.a. Aegon Targaryen), Kit Harington, 32, should have a busy slate of projects ahead of him, yet IMDb has nothing listed (his most recent screen credit was his voice role in the latest "How to Train Your Dragon" sequel). In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor hinted he's planning to stay out of the limelight for awhile. "I’d like to step away and enjoy the obscurity, cut my hair, make myself less recognizable as the character, and go do and some other things with a completely new look and tone," he said. As for future projects... stay tuned.
Emilia Clarke
HBO
The 32-year-old actress who's played "Mother of Dragons" Daeneyrs Targaryeon since the first episode of "GoT" will be shifting gears for her next big-screen role, the holiday-themed rom-com "Last Christmas", set to debut in November 2019. Meanwhile, her other project, the true-crime thriller "Above Suspicion" — which filmed in 2017 —has yet to secure a release date, but will likely come out later this year.
Peter Dinklage
HBO
Peter Dinklage, 49, will follow up his Emmy-winning portrayal of Tyrion Lannister by lending his voice to two upcoming animated features, "The Angry Birds Movie 2" and "The Croods 2". In addition, he's also attached to several films currently in pre-production, including the Mel Gibson-directed remake of Sam Peckinpah's 1969 western "The Wild Bunch".
Lena Headey
HBO
Lena Headey, who played wicked Cersei Lannister, has several upcoming projects in the pipeline, including "The Flood", which sees the 45-year-old actress as a hardened immigration officer who decides the fate of a dangerous asylum seeker. She'll also be seen in the film "Gunpowder Milkshake" as part of an ensemble cast that also includes Carla Gugino, Paul Giamatti and Angela Bassett, described as a "high-concept assassin story that has a rich mythology and spans several generations." In addition, she's also been cast in "Crooks", in which she'll play a "crazy but friendly" truck-stop waitress who encounters a pair of hustlers who just robbed a casino.
Sophie Turner

Look for Sophie Turner (who played Sansa Stark) on the big screen this summer when she reprises her "X-Men" role of mutant Jean Grey/Phoenix in the upcoming "Dark Phoenix", set to be released on June 7. According to IMDb, other upcoming projects for the 23-year-old include portraying a young woman who befriends a war veteran suffering with PTSD in the film "Broken Soldier", and a starring role in the big-screen crime thriller "Heavy".
Maisie Williams
HBO
The 22-year-old actress known for playing assassin Arya Stark is following the path of her onscreen sister by taking a role in a Marvel Comics-derived film, portraying Rahne Sinclair (a.k.a. Wolfsbane) in the upcoming superhero flick "The New Mutants", set to be released on Aug. 2. Williams is also heading the cast of "The Owners", about group of friends who plot a burglary that spirals out of control; that movie is currently in production.
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau

Fans won't have to wait long to see Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in his next role, with the Jaime Lannister actor, 48, starring in "Domino", a Copenhagen-set crime thriller from director Brian De Palma ("The Untouchables", "Scarface"), which comes out on May 30. He's also completed filming two movies in his native Denmark, "Suicide Tourist" and "Notat", and is currently filming a thriller titled "The Silencing".

Isaac Hempsted Wright

Rory McCann
HBO
The 50-year-old Scotsman who brought us Ser Sandor "The Hound" Clegane will be heading to the high seas — and not for a movie role. As he explained in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he'll be spending some time sailing on a boat he's been rebuilding, "an old wooden ketch. Two masts. All wood, 45 years old. Gorgeous thing with a peat fire inside it... I’m a sailor and spent all my years trying to do up boats. Now I’m thinking of finishing my last few scenes and sailing off into the sunset. That’s my dream." That does indeed appear to be the case, as IMDb has no upcoming projects listed for him.
John Bradley
HBO
John Bradley, 30, will be following up his "GoT" role of Samwell Tarly with the upcoming film "Tale of the Wet Dog", in which he'll play Douglas 'Tool' Tulowitzki, a homeless man who becomes a media sensation after rescuing a woman and her dog from the Hudson River.
