Game of Thrones is coming to an end, but as long as the cast hangs out IRL, "the pack survives." Sophie Turner and Richard Madden were the latest costars to meet up out of character when they reunited at the Met Gala on Monday in NYC. It's been years since they shared the screen as siblings Sansa and Robb Stark, but fans were still left spinning after photos of their sweet behind-the-scenes moments surfaced. The newly married Sophie walked the red carpet with husband Joe Jonas while Richard arrived solo — although some would say his smolder packed enough power for two people. He and Sophie later found each other at the exclusive Met Gala dinner, and their reactions were nothing but pure joy. There's no way to know for sure what caused their ecstatic embrace, but if I had to venture a guess, I'd think wedding well-wishes were involved.

So the fandom went understandably crazy when Richard Madden and Sophie Turner met and shared a tight hug during Met Gala 2019. The Stark bond was strong with these two! Richard and Sophie play Robb and Sansa, the two eldest children of Ned and Catelyn Stark in Game of Thrones. Their characters parted ways back in Season 1, and any chance of a reunion was thwarted when Robb was killed in the Red Wedding in Season 3. In the photos from the event, they are seen hugging emotionally and happily chatting. Seeing Richard and Sophie together after so many years sure tugged at our heartstrings, and many took to social media to express their feelings. As the resident Robb Stark fan, I am very emotional about the pictures of Richard Madden hugging Sophie Turner. pic.twitter.com/QzRHZjv5pU — rachel leishman (@RachelLeishman) May 7, 2019 These are the most wholesome photos of Sophie Turner and Richard Madden to ever exist 😭 pic.twitter.com/rdrw5O3gJW — not today (@amberrmoh) May 7, 2019 richard madden and sophie turner reunited omg i literally have tears in my eyes rn pic.twitter.com/7nujimSlpU — osha (@oshawildling) May 7, 2019 With just two more episodes to go before Game of Thrones ends forever, this beautiful throwback of the show’s most loved House and characters sure made me kinda weepy.

Tell us in the comments!<doc-sep>Winter came to the Met Gala, where Game of Thrones costars Sophie Turner and Richard Madden had an emotional homecoming The two actors — who played siblings Sansa Stark and Robb Stark on the HBO series — ran into one another at the annual fashion event, embracing in a sweet hug while inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art that was captured by photographers. Get push notifications with news, features and more. Both were all smiles as they held one another close, in a squeeze that even Game of Thrones scribe George R. R. Martin couldn’t have crafted (Spoiler alert, but Madden’s character was famously killed off the fantasy series back in season 3 during the infamous red wedding). The former costars and friends looked stylish, too, standing out in a sea of over-the-top fashion. Turner, 23, leaned into this year’s theme of “Camp: Notes on Fashion” with a colorful sequin embellished custom Louis Vuitton jumpsuit. She wore her blonde locks sleeked back, with silver glitter giving them a touch of sparkle. Madden, 32, kept it classic in a head-to-toe black, including a Dior Men by Kim Jones tuxedo, marching shirt, military style boots and safety-pin Dior brooch. Their reunion came a day after the airing of the fourth episode of Game of Throne‘s final season. The hit series, which premiered on April 17, 2011, is scheduled to conclude for good on May 19 — meaning only two episodes remain.

This year’s ball was a family affair for Turner, who attended the event with husband Joe Jonas, 29, in what was their first red carpet appearance since the two tied the knot at a Las Vegas chapel following the Billboard Music Awards on May 1.

Marvel & World Productions With production on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's The Eternals set to kick off this August, it's been reported that Richard Madden (Game of Thrones, Bodyguard) is in talks to appear in the comic book tentpole. Based on the superheroes created by Jack Kirby in the mid-1970s, the movie will be directed by Chloé Zhao (The Rider) and has previously been confirmed to star Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani and Korean actor Ma Dong-seok. There's no concrete word on who Madden will be playing, though given that Kevin Feige confirmed last year that the movie will revolve around Jolie's Sersi and her cosmic-fuelled superhero lover Ikaris, it seems probable that Madden will be playing the latter.

Between Madden's recent Best Actor Golden Globe win for Bodyguard and this casting, it's safe to say that his post-Thrones career sure is picking up traction. Advertisement The Eternals doesn't yet have a concrete release date pencilled in, though with Disney recently announcing Marvel's eight-film Phase 4 slate, it seems likely it'll land on either November 6, 2020 or February 12, 2021.<doc-sep>
It's been an emotionally overwhelming week for Game of Thrones fans, who received a one-two punch of grief during Sunday night's episode. (RIP, Rhaegal and Missandei; you did not deserve to meet your demises so lazily.) I'm here to tell you more tears are in your future, but this time of joy: Sophie Turner and Richard Madden reunited at the Met Gala on Monday night, and the photos are too pure for this world. Sophie Turner hugs Richard Madden at the 2019 Met Gala. Getty Images The joy on their faces is too much for my eyeballs to handle. I put on sunglasses but they can't extinguish the emotion emanating through my laptop screen. Though Madden's Robb Stark died valiantly in GoT's red wedding six(!) years ago, he told ELLE in April that he remains close with his former cast mates, including Turner, Kit Harington, Gwendoline Christie, and Maisie Williams. He also has to warn them not to share spoilers so he can still enjoy the show. “It’s weird because they talk about Robb Stark, and I don’t associate myself with it anymore,” he told ELLE. “But then I remember, ‘Oh, that’s me, I played that part.’” Madden's kept busy since his Thrones days. He won a Golden Globe in January for his role in the Netflix phenomenon Bodyguard (yes, he played the bodyguard). Next up, he'll star as Elton John's former manager and lover John Reid opposite Taron Egerton in the John biopic Rocketman. Get tickets Turner, of course,stars in the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones as the only deserving contender for the Iron Throne Sansa Stark. Last week, she married Joe Jonas in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony, and the two made their red carpet debut as husband and wife in matching Louis Vuitton at the Met Gala.
