While Eddard Stark, and for that matter, Sean Bean may be out of Game of Thrones’ present storyline for good, the possibility exists that he may yet return to the series in some form or another.
Vulture talked to Bean about losing his head, fans losing their heads, and what he’s doing next. (His bar-fight wound, however, was strictly off limits.)
Sean Bean talks about returning to the fantasy genre, playing a powerful warrior hero in a story that is greatly epic in scope and his desire to continue exploring new characters without playing any one role for too long.
