The trailer debuted as part of the drama’s IMAX screening event, which opened late last night; a few fans [sneaky-shot video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMKhdDlKHNE "undefined"). Some of the biggest revelations from the bootlegged footage include: — Varys urging Tyrion to seek out and help, it seems, Danyerys: “I believe men of talent have a part to play in the war to come.” Tyrion: “I will never sit on the Iron Throne.” Varys: “You could help another climb those steps and take that seat … The Seven Kingdoms needs a ruler loved by millions with a powerful army and the right family name.” Tyrion: “Good luck finding him.” Varys: “Who said anything about_him_?” — Littlefinger telling Sansa: “There’s no justice in this world. Not unless we make it. Avenge them”—presumably referring to her brutally murdered family members. — Tommen and Margaery together in what could be yet another wedding scene (good luck with that!). — Arya in Braavos, in her new costume, picking up needle and knocking on a fateful door. — Dany pledging, “I’m not going to stop the wheel. I’m going to _break_ the wheel,” along with shots of Ser Jorah in gladitorial combat and the broze harpy statue atop Dany’s pyramid being toppled. — Also, the trailer is set to a rather moody cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes.” — All exciting stuff leading up to April 12\. Hopefully, HBO will realize very soon it’s better to release this trailer online officially rather than let the footage get pirated everywhere (_hint-hint)_… and boy, hasn’t that been the story of HBO and _Thrones_ distribution in general? _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/01/30/%E2%80%98game-thrones%E2%80%99-season-5-trailer-leaks-things-we-learned "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined")_._ ### See The Real-Life People Who Inspired Game of Thrones Characters  From left: Cersei and Margaret of Anjou HBO; Getty Images  From Left: Khaleesi and Queen Elizabeth I.
