EW brings word of the first new addition to the cast of Game of Thrones Season 7 with Jim Broadbent. It is still not known which character he will be playing or the extent of his role, but the outlet describes it as “significant.”

Broadbent was most recently seen in The Legend of Tarzan and is also well known for appearing in Moulin Rouge, Cloud Atlas, Gangs of New York, TIme Bandits, and Bridget Jones’s Diary.
