GoT Showrunners Break Down Jon and Sansa Conflict
Full spoilers for Game of Thrones' Season 7 premiere, "Dragonstone," continue below.
Game of Thrones' Season 7 premiere underlined that there is a conflict between Jon Snow's ruling style as King of the North, and the way Sansa Stark thinks it's smartest to rule over your subservient subjects.
Season 6 ended with Littlefinger exacerbating a conflict between Sansa and Jon with one pointed look, and Season 7 definitely picked up where that left off.
"I think there's a little bit of resentment of that," said David Benioff in the post-Game of Thrones episode breakdown. "She feels that she's responsible in many ways for winning the Battle of the Bastards because she's the one who got the Knights of the Vale to come North and join the fight. She feels like she hasn't gotten quite enough credit for that, and she also thinks Jon is quite a bit naive."

Infinity War Director Talks Spidey/Doctor Strange Relationship
Spider-Man and Doctor Strange will seemingly have a close relationship in Avengers: Infinity War.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Infinity War co-director Joe Russo revealed that the two superheroes, along with the actors who play them, Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch, have "really great chemistry."
As such, because of their rapport and the fact that both characters currently reside in New York City, Russo hinted that the duo will be teaming up quite a lot during the battle against Thanos.
"They both have a proximity to each other, if that's a hint that I can give," said Russo. "But anybody who's a Marvel fan would know that they both reside in the same city, and I think Tom and Benedict have a really wonderful chemistry and we wanted to exploit that."

"If I could be precise about this, I don't think we actually saw me inside the trash compactor," Christie told Good Morning America. "That scene didn't exist. What we saw was the threat of that.

Leia’s Arc in Last Jedi Hopes to Provide ‘Catharsis’ for Fans
While Star Wars: The Last Jedi wasn't intended to be Carrie Fisher's final Star Wars movie, director Rian Johnson hopes Leia's story in the film provides a "kind of emotional satisfaction" to fans of the franchise.
"Carrie gives a really beautiful performance in the film," Johnson told Good Morning America. "We obviously didn't make the movie to be her final film—final Star Wars movie. Given that though, I think there are scenes that she has that are going to mean a lot to people," he added.
