Veteran actor Max von Sydow has signed on to the show to play the Three-Eyed Raven, EW reports. The magical, rather twiggy-looking guide for Bran Stark was previously seen in the Season 4 finale, played by Stuan Rodger.

Von Sydow is known for his famed feature roles, including The Exorcist and Minority Report, and he will appear in the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And yes...he's already on set to film the new season.
