It was the perfect opportunity for to own a big character. “She wanted to push it all to the limit.”ĭirector Danny Boyle also had great things to say about Williams:
GAME OF THRONES AIYA FULL
Jordan herself advised Williams on the role, and gave her full approval. “Maisie is somebody who never really wants to be encompassed by security,” Jordan tells me. She plays Pamela Rooke, aka Jordan, who’s sense of style was credited with popularizing the punk aesthetic. You can next see Williams in Pistol, a docudrama about the iconic British punk band the Sex Pistols.
GAME OF THRONES AIYA MOVIE
I’m on board with all of that…but I think we’ll see an Arya miniseries or movie sooner or later. It has to be right in the context of all the other spin-offs and the universe of Game of Thrones…It has to be the right time for me. It has to be the right time and the right people. “I’m not saying it would never happen,” Williams said with a grin, “but I’m also not saying it in this interview so that everyone goes, ‘The spin-off! It’s coming!’ Because it’s not.”
After all, Game of Thrones ended with Arya sailing off into the sunset for parts unknown if any character is a natural fit for a spinoff, it’s her. Naturally, GQ asked Williams if she might ever play Arya Stark again. That said, the idea of her returning to the role of Arya down the line isn’t out of the question… Maisie Williams is open to an Arya Stark spinoff: “It has to be the right time and the right people.” “I needed to express myself…I think that sometimes other people need a helping hand to see that you’re a different person, and I don’t resent that.” But why would I want to make myself feel sad about the greatest thing that ever happened to me? I don’t want to associate that with feelings of pain.Īfter Game of Thrones ended, Williams took the opportunity to get out of the spotlight and try different kinds of roles she compared the experience to “being born again.” Suddenly she could do things that she couldn’t while she was on the biggest show in the world even something like dying her hair pink felt freeing. “I was rejecting a lot of the pieces of me and my image that I’d been so well known for,” she said. I look at it so fondly, and I look at it with such pride. I don’t think it’s healthy, because I loved it. “And then I also resented my body, because it wasn’t aligned with the piece of me that the world celebrated.” Maisie Williams: “I don’t think it’s healthy, because I loved it.”Īt one point, GQ asked Williams what parts of the show she missed, and she gave a pretty thoughtful answer. “Can I say none of it?”
“I think that when I started becoming a woman, I resented Arya because I couldn’t express who I was becoming,” Williams mused. For instance, Arya remained a kid for a while, even as Williams herself was growing up Williams was cast when she was 12 years old and the final season aired when she was 22. I don’t know how she did it.”Īccording to Sterne, the writers “reveled in writing more and more for her character.” Pretty soon, Williams was known the world over, but playing a part this big at such a young age doesn’t come without its challenges. “We had seen hundreds of young people for the part,” casting director Robert Sterne told GQ, “and then in walked Maisie being honest and brave and unfazed and direct and funny asking interesting questions. From rebellious tomboy to deadly assassin who killed the Night King, she was always a thrill to watch, in no small part thanks to the work of Maisie Williams, who had no formal acting training before auditioning. There were a lot of beloved characters on Game of Thrones, but few were as universally liked as Arya Stark.
