There may be more Latino actors coming to Season 5 of "Game of Thrones". Especially since the new season is expected to be shooting in Spain. According to fan site winteriscoming.net, while not confirmed a character named Prince Doran Martell a wheelchair-bound royal will appear on the show as yet another member of the Martell family that showed up in Season 4. 

Season 5 of "Game of Thrones," will have a sizable portion located in the fictitious land of Dorne, where the Martell clan are from. Other characters making appearances include the three women who comprise the Sand Snakes, daughters of Oberyn Martell, who will likely, as in the books "Game of Thrones" is based on, seek revenge for their father's death at King's Landing.

Fans of last season will remember Oberyn as the brave, fighting machine with a huge sexual appetite. He was surprisingly killed-off in one of the final scenes of the show. That character though was one of the first with Latino origins to appear in the series.

A major casting announcement is expected later today during the "Game of Thrones" panel at San Diego Comic Con. But until then HBO, which shows the series, hasn't confirmed any of the rumors that swirling around in regards to new characters and casting notices.

As Variety.com points out, "The web is rife with speculation as to who will play his daughters, known as the Sand Snakes. Expect those casting reveals and a few more (such as Bronn's new bride, Lady Lollys Stokeworth; religious leader The High Sparrow; Oberyn's brother, Prince Doran, and his bodyguard, Areo Hotah, and other members of the Martell clan)," the website reports.

A New Zealand newspaper is speculating that Keisha Castle-Hughes may be featured as one of the Sand Snakes.

Other characters that might make an appearance could include Yezzan, the slave owner, and The Waif, a character that's expect to interact with the young sword-fighting Arya as she makes her way through Season 5 without her usual companion, Sandor Clegane. Social media has been abuzz with images of filming locations in Ireland for Season 5.

But the real big reveal for fans is still waiting to be announced in San Diego.
