Game of Thrones’ Maisie Williams talks New Mutants casting rumors

From direwolf to Wolfsbane?

While Game of Thrones is just days away from its Season 6 debut, other members of the cast may have their eye on other major projects. Maisie Willaims, who portrays Arya Stark on HBO's juggernaut fantasy series has been rumored for the role of Wolfsbane for about a month now, and she just recently revealed her thoughts on the casting rumors.

I can’t say much about it at all, but I would absolutely love to be a part of it, [and] to be a part of the Marvel family,” Williams said about possibly joining the X-Men spin-off when asked recently by EW. “New Mutants looks absolutely incredible and I’ve always loved the idea of spin-offs and [director] Joshua Boone is incredibly talented. So, yeah, sign me up.

None of this is set in stone, but her reaction would seem to indicate that there is something cooking beneath the surface.

Wolfsbane is a Scottish mutant with the ability to transform into a wolf at will. IMO, Maisie is pretty much a perfect fit for the role.
