By Order of the Peaky Blinders, one key member of the crime series' cast in the final seasons of the show won't be returning when the upcoming Netflix feature-length movie, The Immortal Man, brings back the Birmingham-based gangsters. Sam Claflin, who played real-life fascist Oswald Mosley in the show's fifth and sixth seasons, has revealed recently that he wouldn't be returning for the upcoming film. Upon his introduction to the story, it didn't take long for Claflin's character to become entangled in a tussle of sorts with the show's main protagonist, Cillian Murphy's Tommy Shelby, as both stood on opposite sides of what they believed should be Europe's future.

The Season 6 finale of Peaky Blinders saw Claflin's Mosley, just like in real life, getting married to Lady Diana Mitford, played by Amber Anderson in the series, in Germany in 1936. Claflin, while speaking with Metro about his performance in the...

The release of My Oxford Year is just around the corner, and fans could not be more hyped. Since romance fans are extremely particular about the kinds of films they like, it is quite surprising for fans to be this excited about a project. Thankfully, Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest’s casting in the film helps add a lot of attention to Julia Whelan’s book of the same name, making it one of the most anticipated romance releases of the year.

However, for those who are not convinced about the impact that this film is about to have on its viewers, one comparison will be enough to leave them wrecked. Although the film seems to be deviating from the book in certain aspects, there are some aspects that are quite similar to Emilia Clarke’s Me Before You.

My Oxford Year Is Taking Notes From Me Before You A...

British actress Emilia Clarke, best known as Daenerys Targaryen in the beloved Game of Thrones, has been part of many exciting projects since her on-screen career began back in 2009. From joining the MCU in Secret Invasion to starring in one of the sleeper hits of the modern holiday season, Last Christmas, Clarke's filmography might be relatively small, but it is packed with eye-catching performances.

Among these is the romantic drama Me Before You, which sees Clarke star as Lou Clark alongside The Count of Monte Cristo's Sam Claflin as Will Traynor, in a tale that explores the boundaries of love against life's most difficult circumstances. Directed by Wicked Little Letters' Thea Sharrock, and written by Jojo Moyes, based on her own 2012 novel of the same name, Me Before You was an undeniable hit upon its initial release back in 2016, earning an impressive 73% from audiences on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes,...

In the modern era of streaming services dominating the television landscape, it can be difficult to find something to watch. This is especially true if you're not one to keep up with great shows as they're airing, as many of the best binge-worthy TV shows to watch can become buried in endless libraries of content, both new and old. With Apple TV+ ruling the cultural moment with shows like "Severance" and "The Studio," you may have forgotten a time not too long ago when all the best shows were on Amazon Prime Video.

Amazon Prime Video might be a go-to streaming service when you're looking for the latest theatrical release that's hit digital, but there are also plenty of underrated TV shows on Prime Video you've probably never seen. Additionally, shows from Amazon Prime Video have also swept at the Emmys and racked up some of the highest budgets in modern-day TV.

Emilia Clarke’s controversial romantic drama, titled Me Before You, is making waves again, but this time it’s due to being one of the top trending movies on Amazon Prime Video. It’s been almost a decade since its theatrical release, but amidst all the new features, it has somehow resurfaced in the streaming spotlight.

Thea Sharrock’s directorial is an adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ eponymous best-selling novel. Clarke plays Louisa “Lou” Clark in this feature, and is paired against Sam Claflin’s Will Traynor, portrayed as a wealthy quadriplegic who decides to end his life through assisted suicide. So let’s look at how, despite a romantic premise, the 2016 movie stirred a storm of backlash.

At the heart of Me Before You is a problematic contradiction that many netizens called out.

Emilia Clarke will eternally be remembered as Daenerys Targaryen, the fierce dragon queen who broke chains and hearts in Game of Thrones. But long after the smoke has cleared over King’s Landing, Clarke’s real underdog project is unfolding on Prime Video. Me Before You is a romantic drama, released in 2016, that’s sitting on Prime’s Top 10 Worldwide charts.

It’s honestly surprising to see a soft, tearjerker love story reign on global streaming charts, almost a decade after its release. In an age of CGI-driven & fast-paced narratives, Clarke’s 2016 hit continues to dominate the romance genre. While Game of Thrones was a career-defining juggernaut, Me Before You stands as a reminder of Clarke’s depth and versatility as an actor. The film is proof that Clarke is just as entertaining to watch, even without the dragons.

Emilia Clarke’s Me Before You was a box office underdog...

The romantic drama movie Me Before You was subject to controversy at the time of its release in 2016. After nine years, the film is finding a new audience on streaming.

Per FlixPatrol, Me Before You is currently ranked at No. 6 globally for streaming movies available on Prime Video. At the time of its release, the film was a big box office success, earning over $208 million against a $20 million budget. Critics were split, as the film is scored at 54% on Rotten Tomatoes, though it has a much higher audience score of 73%. It was also the winner of the Favorite Dramatic Movie at the People's Choice Awards.

In Me Before You, Emilia Clarke stars as Lou, a woman hired as a caregiver for a man, Will (Sam Claflin), who was rendered tetraplegic after a devastating accident. Upon learning that Will plans to end his life through assisted suicide because of his condition,...

Chris Hemsworth fans would be forgiven for forgetting that the actor starred in The Huntsman: Winter's War, the 2016 prequel/sequel to the 2012 Kirsten Stewart-led movie Snow White and the Huntsman. Nine years after flopping in theaters, the fantasy movie has found new success on streaming.

Per FlixPatrol, The Huntsman: Winter's War is No. 10 on Max's Top 10 Worldwide list for movies. Ahead of the 2016 fantasy flick, from top to bottom, are The Alto Knights, How to Train Your Dragon 2, The Wailing, Mickey 17, Mountainhead, The Wild Robot, Kill 'em All 2, Fear Below, and Summer Camp. Billed as both a prequel and sequel to Snow White & the Huntsman, Winter's War marked the directorial debut of Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, who was a visual effects supervisor and second unit director on the 2012 movie. Nicolas-Troyan has since gone on to direct one other feature, the action thriller Kate starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead,...

There is nothing juicier in Hollywood than rumors about a star’s love life, and we will stand by this. From who’s dating whom to who cheated on whom, these burning questions will always make you curious, no matter how much you try to stay away from the gossip. Tom Rhys Harries & Laura Haddock, White Lines actors, once got tangled in a web of speculation about their romance.

The kinda crazy part? The two played the role of siblings in the mystery thriller TV series. Well, maybe it’s not that crazy…after all, it’s not like they are actually related by blood, yeah? Regardless, the two were once reported to be in a romantic relationship after Laura Haddock’s divorce from Sam Claflin.

Not long after he wielded Thor's hammer in the MCU, Chris Hemsworth wielded an ax in this live-action fantasy feature, The Huntsman: Winter's War. This 2016 movie received a poor reception among fans and critics during its initial release, but perhaps it is thanks to the live-action Snow White movie that made its way to Disney+ recently that this box office flop is now making the rounds on HBO Max's streaming charts.

According to FlixPatrol, The Huntsman: Winter's War is among the top 20 Movies on HBO, placing in 11th place as of June 17, 2025, just below Eva Green's war film Dirty Angels. Unfortunately, prior to this streaming success, this prequel/sequel to the 2012 film Snow White and the Huntsmanwas deemed a box office flop. It generated over $164 million worldwide while earning a poor critics' score of 20% and a low audience score of 45% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sam Claflin has worked on several benchmark projects, including the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. However, there is one film that made Claflin a household name, and that was his 2016 tentpole, Me Before You.

Based on Jojo Moyes’s book, the film became a sensation when it was released in 2016. Perched on the crackling chemistry between the 38-year-old and Emilia Clarke, Me Before You became a box office success despite receiving mixed critical reviews.

Me Before You became quite popular among the young fans, which later inspired Netflix to acquire the Ott distribution rights of the film. However, not many years later, the streaming giant let go of the film, but let Clafin’s lower-rated film Love Wedding Repeat still stay on the platform.

Stars Who Almost Made It To Game Of Thrones ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Game of Thrones has become so iconic that it’s nearly impossible to picture it with any other actors than the ones we know and love. Emilia Clarke’s fiery Daenerys and Lena Headey’s cold-as-ice Cersei are ingrained in our minds, but the casting process was far from straightforward. Before the show became the global sensation we know, several Hollywood A-listers nearly joined the cast, some even auditioning for key roles that would eventually make history.

Imagine a world where Mahershala Ali almost played a Qarthian merchant or Sam Heughan wasn’t swinging a sword in Outlander but instead vying for a role in Westeros! While many could have fit in seamlessly, others missed their shot, leaving us to wonder, what could have been? Let’s look at these 10 actors who almost made it into the world of Game of Thrones.
