"Game of Thrones" is known for showcasing big battle scenes and Season 7 will be a testament to that once again. The sixth episode of the upcoming season will feature a huge battle scene featuring the White Walkers, the so-called "winter is coming" threat to Westeros.

There are claims that episode six of "Game of Thrones" Season 7 will showcase Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Jorah Mormont (Iain Glen), The Hound (Rory McCann), and Tormund (Kristofer Hivju) heading north of the Wall to catch a wight. This doesn't go according to plan because the group will end up facing the Night King and his undead minions.

Watchers on the Wall reported that the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 action sequence will be directed by Alan Taylor. The scene will require 300 extras to pose as the wights or cold, reanimated corpses.

Grand and expensive battle spectacles were already seen in past "Game of Thrones" episodes including "Blackwater," "Hardhome," "Watchers on the Wall," and the most recent "Battle of the Bastards." The latter showed Jon's forces going up against Ramsay Bolton's (Iwan Rheon).

Episode six of "Game of Thrones" Season is the penultimate episode of the season. There are only seven episodes in the upcoming season, which is slated to air on HBO in the summer of 2017.

New photos from the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 set revealed that King's Landing will be an important facet in the upcoming episodes. Winter is definitely coming and it doesn't bode well to the Lannisters, especially Queen Cersei (Lena Headey).

Headey tweeted a photo of herself and Hafþór Björnsson (Gregor Clegane) flying to Dubrovnik, Croatia -- one of the cities where King's Landing scenes are being shot -- for the "Game of Thrones" Season 7 production. Twitter user @javiborrega also shared pictures from the Cáceres, Spain set, where King's Landing scenes are being filmed as well. Check out some of the photos below.

The Twitter user also tweeted that snow finally arrived in King's Landing. Floors of the set were littered with snow so as to signal that winter is indeed coming even to Westeros' originally warm cities. This proves that the White Walkers' threat is not a joke and the Houses must join together to defeat that one common enemy.

What do you think would happen to Cersei on "Game of Thrones" Season 7? Do you believe that the big battle scene with the wights would exceed the Battle of the Bastards? Share your thoughts below!
