Game of Thrones Season 7, the penultimate season in the fantasy series based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, is sure to feature a number of deaths. But a tiny detail in the recently released trailer has fans speculating that Cersei will be among those who will be killed off in the upcoming instalment.
One scene in the trailer shows Cersei and Jaime Lannister standing on the large painted map of Westeros, and eagle-eyed book readers have believe where they are standing is an important clue to figure out what's in store for Cersei.

For instance, the Queen is standing on the part of Westeros known as The Neck and her lover brother is standing on the part known as The Fingers. Now, combine this knowledge with Maggy the Frog's prophecy where she predicted that Cersei will be choked to death by her brother.
For a long time, it was assumed that Tyrion will be the one to kill Cersei for that she did to him over the years. But when Season 6 ended, Jaime was not so sure about his sister and her intentions.
"He does not understand what the game plan is," Nikolaj Coster-Waldau said of his character following last year's finale, according to Vanity Fair. "No one will accept [Cersei] as queen willingly. I'm not sure he understands or knows who that person is now. And that's scary."
Are Cersei's days numbered? Will Jaime be the one to do the deed? "You could say that the motivation for [killing the Mad King] would be the same for killing Cersei, but I haven't seen anything yet before season seven that would make me believe that he was capable of doing that," Coster-Waldau told Mashable.
