Natalie Dormer on death scene

Natalie Dormer, who portrayed Margaery Tyrell on HBO's Game of Thrones, expressed frustration with her character's death in Season 6's 'The Winds of Winter'. Margaery perished in a catastrophic explosion orchestrated by Cersei Lannister, an event that Dormer felt was both brutal and undeserved for a character who had endured much throughout the series. In interviews, Dormer shared a sense of vindication despite her character's tragic end, noting that Margaery's warnings went unheeded, ultimately confirming her foresight. While she acknowledged the shock value of her character's demise, Dormer admitted she had wished for a more impactful exit, even jokingly suggesting a dragon's involvement would have been fitting. Many fans echoed her sentiments, believing that Margaery deserved a more dignified conclusion. Dormer's reflections highlight the emotional connection actors develop with their roles, especially over long shoots.
