Over the past few days, there was a hintPirates of the Caribbean star Mackenzie Crook may have joined the cast for Game of Thrones‘ third season. Until now, the cast has been relatively quiet as the new season preps in getting ready for production and not too much about what we can expect coming up has been revealed. As the hit fantasy drama takes the halls of Comic-Con, an all-new featurette has played before the panel audience with many fans loving the casting choices. Now, HBO has uploaded that video online and you can see for yourself what new faces will be joining the already massive Game of Thrones cast in the new year:

As the panel wrapped up, George R.R. Martin promised one more thing…the third season will premiere on HBO on March 31st, 2013!
