AceShowbiz - Fans of "Game of Thrones" may think that nothing can top the Battle of Winterfell in episode 3 of season 8. However, a bigger war has apparently yet to come, according to star Emilia Clarke.
The Daenerys Targaryen depicter stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on May 2. She talked about many things and definitely the hit HBO series, which is currently in its eighth and final season.
The third episode, which aired on April 28, offered fans the most epic takedown of the Night King and White Walkers. "The Long Night" was said to be the longest battle sequence ever filmed, taking 55 nights to complete. The hard work was all paid off since the episode broke records with 17.8 million viewers.
"All night shooting," the "Solo: A Star Wars Story" actress said of the episode. "So the crew would stay even on the weekends, Sunday, on night hours the entire way through." When asked if she was also up all night, Emilia revealed, "I was only in a little bit. And a lot of it I was up in the air in my aircraft. So I got to save."
While the episode is undoubtedly big, Emilia revealed that upcoming episode 5 would feature something bigger. "Episode five is bigger. Episode five is, I mean, four and five and six, they're all insane, but like... Find the biggest TV you can," she told host Jimmy Kimmel.
The British actress also talked about her brother who worked for the series in the camera development. "Was he there during the love scene that you had with Jon Snow?" Jimmy inquired. Laughing, Emilia said, "Yeah, there's some days when he's like, 'Oh I'll swing by,' 'cos he's literally like in the next unit that's filming next door, and I'm like, 'No it's good! You can stay there.' "
Season 8 of "Game of Thrones" airs on Sundays at 9 P.M. on HBO.
