Warning: Minor spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season seven.
The stars of HBO's "Game of Thrones" hit the red carpet this week for the highly anticipated season seven premiere. Before seeing the screening of the first episode and celebrating at the after-party, INSIDER caught up with some of the stars on the red carpet to learn more about the upcoming season.
Keep reading for a look at the five biggest hints we got from the "Game of Thrones" cast.
Isaac Hempstead Wright plays Bran Stark — or should we just say the Three-Eyed Raven now? His powers will be a major part of season seven.
"Bran is the Three-Eyed Raven now, which means a lot of things for him," Hempstead Wright told INSIDER. "He's now the sworn enemy of the Night King — which is slightly frightening. And he's lost Hodor, he's lost his direwolf, and so he's very much on his own."
But Bran can't be alone for long — he needs to find the leaders of Westeros (perhaps Jon Snow?).
"He's also got this wealth of important information that really needs to get to the right people, and so by the start of season seven, Bran is in many ways a very different character," Hempstead Wright said. "He's the Three-Eyed Raven — he's not Bran Stark, which means he's really just a vehicle for the greater world's fate. That is what Bran's destiny is and what he's doing in season seven."

Sophie Turner teased the biggest challenge Sansa will face in the coming episodes.
When we asked what Sansa's overall theme was for season seven, Turner's answer was cryptic. "It's her struggle with newfound power," Turner said. "That's the theme for her — power."
Sansa has undergone huge shifts in character since season one.
"The Sansa that I knew in season one is unrecognizable to me now, because she's developed so much," Turner said. "It's really rewarding to be able to play a character like that and delve so deep into her. She has changed measurably, it's really a beautiful transformation."

Conleth Hill (Varys) hinted at the possibility of getting more backstory for his character's relationship to the Targaryens.
"Well I think in the books [it's explained] that he had great admiration for the way the Targaryens ran their civilization," Hill said. "He loved their architecture, he loved their way of governing. You will get some insight into his experiences with the Mad King, maybe. And so you'll see that maybe he wasn't as fond of that particular monarch as he is of [Daenerys]."
More backstory on Varys and Targaryens would be welcome, since many of the events surrounding Robert's Rebellion, the Mad King, and his son Rhaegar are still a mystery.
