Sunday's episode of "Game of Thrones," called "The Iron Throne," marked the end of HBO's hit series. But audiences don't have to wait long before seeing the show's actors back on screen.

Sophie Tuner (who played Sansa Stark) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) are starring in movies that come to theaters in the next couple weeks: Turner in the "X-Men" movie "Dark Phoenix" and Coster-Waldau in the Brian De Palma-directed thriller, "Domino."

Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) will star in a Netflix romantic comedy later this year, and Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) is reportedly starring in a remake of "The Wild Bunch."

Below are the main cast members of "Game of Thrones" and what projects they're starring in next:

Williams is also starring in an "X-Men" project, a spin-off movie called "New Mutants," as Wolfsbane. But it's had a troubled production. The movie had reportedly been in limbo due to expected reshoots, and Disney recently pushed its release date back for the third time to next year. Its fate could still be uncertain.
