[h1]Game of Thrones: First Casting Revealed for Season 2[/h1][h2]Tudors' Natalie Dormer joining the series.
As we all go into Game of Thrones withdrawals after the season finale this past Sunday, it's pretty cool to have Season 2 casting news break so quickly. With production set to begin in the next month on Season 2, EW.com has reported that Natalie Dormer is joining the cast.
Dormer, best known for her role as Anne Boleyn on The Tudors, will play Margaery Tyrell. If you haven't read the books and don't want to know more about Margaery, stop reading now. But for those of you who are interested in the basic set up for the character...
Margaery is pledged to marry Renly Baratheon (Gethin Anthony), the brother of the late Robert Baratheon - a move that will unite Margaery's House Tyrell with Renly, as he strives to take the Iron Throne from Joffrey, while both his brother Stannis and Robb Stark vow to do the same thing.
Fans of the books are eagerly awaiting the casting of Stannis Baratheon, a much talked-about character in the first season (and book) who we'll finally meet in Season 2, which premieres next spring on HBO.
I don't like this choice for casting. Margaery Tyrell is supposed to be somewhere between 15-18 years old and this actress is 28. WAAAAAY too old for the part. She's supposed to be Loras Tyrel's little sister but if you compare the two there is no way you would ever think she was younger than the actor who played Loras in season 1. I understand that you need to make the actors slightly older than what they are in the book but 10+ years is over the top. Specially by the time they get around to season 4 and 5.[/h2]
