Game of Thrones Assembles Its Avengers in New Promo

We're here for this dream team.

Full spoilers for Game of Thrones' "Eastwatch" continue below.

The Fellowship of the Wall. The Magnificent Seven. The Westeros Avengers. Whatever you want to call them, Game of Thrones has assembled quite the dream team to go North and... well, not defeat the Night King, but take one of his wights captive and try to bring him to Cersei Lannister and try to convince her to stop fighting in Westeros and instead defeat the army of the dead.

It's not the most concise plan (or the most likely), but it is set up for one of the coolest moments on Game of Thrones, and all seven of them are front and center in the promo for next week's episode. With increasingly few fan-favorite characters still alive, the showrunners decided to band them all together in R'hllor's great quest and send them out into the wilds of the north of Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. If they couldn't do it alone, one can hope they can accomplish it together.

Jon Snow. Tormund Giantsbane. Jorah Mormont. Beric Dondarrion. Thoros of Myr. Sandor Clegane. Mu'fuggin Gendry. (We still love you, Davos, even if you aren't the man to range north of the Wall.) This is about as solid an epic Game of Thrones squad as we've ever seen, and we're all in for it.

There's some other cool stuff that happens in the promo for next week's episode, including Arya asking Sansa if she's "scared" and Daenerys and Tyrion looking very pensive, but we're definitely most excited for the White Walker Showdown that was Promised from the pre-season trailers that were released. Check out what we're talking about below:
