Sunday’s episode of Game of Thrones, titled The Iron Throne, marked the end of HBO’s hit series. But audiences don’t have to wait long before seeing the show’s actors back on-screen.

Sophie Turner (who played Sansa Stark) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) are starring in movies that come to theatres in the next few weeks: Turner in the X-Men movie Dark Phoenix and Coster-Waldau in the Brian De Palma-directed thriller Domino.

Even the Game of Thrones showrunners, David Benioff and DB Weiss, already have their next project lined up, and it will take them to a galaxy far, far away.

Sophie Turner will next reprise her role as Jean Grey in the X-Men movie Dark Phoenix next month. It’s the final X-Men movie in the main series from Fox before Disney takes control of the franchise.

2. Maisie Williams (Arya Stark)

Maisie Williams is also starring in an X-Men project, a spin-off movie called The New Mutants, as Wolfsbane. But it has had a troubled production. The movie had been in limbo because of expected reshoots, according to The Hollywood Reporter, and Disney recently pushed its release date back for the third time to next year. Its fate could still be uncertain.

3. Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister)

Peter Dinklage has voice roles in two upcoming animated sequels: The Angry Birds Movie 2, which comes to theatres in August, and The Croods 2, which arrives next year. Deadline reported last week that Dinklage had joined a remake of The Wild Bunch alongside Michael Fassbender and Jamie Foxx.
