The series finale of Game of Thrones has elicited some strong reactions from fans, but who says co-workers of the Queen of the North don’t also have strong feelings? The internet is not lacking for #hottakes on the divisive ending, in which Bran Stark ascended to the Iron Throne, Daenerys Targaryen took a dagger to the chest, and Jon Snow was banished to the North once more. Some loved it, some hated it, and some are still trying to work out how they feel about all of it.

The lead-up to the Game of Thrones finale coincided with the press tour for Dark Phoenix, the new X-Men movie starring Sophie Turner, and thus Turner has had to keep mum around her castmates about how it all ends. Until now.

Dark Phoenix co-star Jessica Chastain hasn’t been shy about sharing her own fan theories about the show, and how much she stans Sansa and Arya, so when Collider’s own Steve Weintraub sat down to interview the Dark Phoenix cast days after the Game of Thrones finale aired, he asked the cast members what they thought about the ending.

Some were diplomatic. Some were a little more outspoken. And some were trying to avoid spoilers as they hadn’t had a chance to watch yet. Or, in the case of Michael Fassbender, some were trying to avoid spoilers because they haven’t started the series yet.

In the video above, you can watch McAvoy provide a somewhat diplomatic answer to the question (though it’s not difficult to read between the lines), and watch Chastain shout “Queen of the North” over and over again until admitting she may be getting on Turner’s nerves a bit.

Look for more coverage from the Dark Phoenix junket on Collider soon. And peruse the links below to catch up on our recent Game of Thrones coverage.

Here's the official synopsis for Dark Phoenix:

This is the story of one of the X-Men’s most beloved characters, Jean Grey, as she evolves into the iconic DARK PHOENIX. During a life-threatening rescue mission in space, Jean is hit by a cosmic force that transforms her into one of the most powerful mutants of all. Wrestling with this increasingly unstable power as well as her own personal demons, Jean spirals out of control, tearing the X-Men family apart and threatening to destroy the very fabric of our planet. The film is the most intense and emotional X-Men movie ever made. It is the culmination of 20 years of X-Men movies, as the family of mutants that we’ve come to know and love must face their most devastating enemy yet — one of their own.
