"Game of Thrones" is adding another cast member for upcoming season 5. According to a scoop from The Hollywood Reporter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje ("Lost", "Thor: The Dark World") has been tapped to portray a new character named Malko.

Details of his role are still kept under wraps. It is not originated from George R.R. Martin's books but is specially created for the TV show. Rumor suggests it may be based on a character named Moqorro from the books. He's a red priest who serves the Lord of Light.

"Game of Thrones" season 5 is currently in production for a 2015 premiere. The show has been filming at the historic Alcazar Palace in Seville since last week and will next move to Osuna. Jonathan Pryce, Alexander Siddig, and Nell Tiger Free join the cast to play the High Sparrow, Doran Martell and Myrcella Baratheon respectively.

Editors' Pick

"Making the first season, we set a rule: No prophecies, dreams, or flashbacks," one of the producers recently said. "We already failed the first two, and this season we broke the third. So yes, this season will finally have flashbacks."
