Sophie Turner reveals what it would take for her to do a ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff
Game of Thrones may be over, but Sophie Turner hasn’t ruled out the possibility of reprising her role as Sansa Stark in a spinoff of the show. Variety asked her if she would ever take on the role again at the SAG Awards on Sunday night, Jan. 19. Turner isn’t really interested. She admitted that it would take a lot of money for her to do it again.
“I would give anything to go back to what we had, but it wouldn’t be the same,” Turner admitted. “It would be different, different people running it. I don’t want to be a part of it. Unless they give me big bucks, I’m not doing it!”
Of course, money talks. But that doesn’t mean that you’ll be seeing her on a GoT spinoff anytime soon. The Lizzie McGuire reboot seems more likely at this point.
