Indira Varma (Ellaria) and Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort) set the stage on fire with Macbeth reboot

Some of the world’s greatest performers were part of the Game of Thrones cast. Many of them went on to star in other popular franchises like Star Wars, the DCEU, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Indira Varma, who played Ellaria Sand on Game of Thrones before, last appeared as Tala in the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series. Varma will now be seen in a modern rendition of Shakespeare’s Macbeth.
