12 Game of Thrones stars who’ve also played superheroes (or villains)

11. Maisie Williams (New Mutants)

Arya Stark is pretty high up on the list of beloved Game of Thrones characters who we’ll riot over if they ever get killed off. Arya is, of course, the youngest daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark. She ain’t no lady and prefers her Needle to actual needlework.

Playing Arya is the talented Maisie Williams, much praised for both her onscreen talent and her offscreen personality. Williams seems like a fun person who enjoys singing karaoke with her costar and bestie Sophie Turner or getting inked with a “No One” tattoo.

With filming on the final season of Game of Thrones officially over, Williams is taking on an exciting new project: starring in New Mutants, an X-Men spinoff with a horror spin. It follows a group of young mutants held in a secret facility and is slated to premiere in August of next year.

Williams is playing a Scottish girl named Rahne Sinclair, aka Wolfsbane. As you may have guessed from the name, she can turn into a wolf. Doesn’t sound too far off from her days as a Stark, does it?

I have no doubt that Williams will fit in the X-Men franchise. She has the acting chops to pull of pretty much any role, and the intensity to pull of horror.
