Game of ThronesFans Want Henry Cavill to LeadAegon’s Conquest
Although Ryan Condal quipped that there have been talks about theGame of Thronesprequel seriesAegon’s Conquestbeing in the works, despite no one pulling the trigger on that yet, the spin-off has rarely made any headlines since 2023. Previously,Varietyhad reported exclusively how HBO had been actively discussing ideas for the spin-off.

Claiming to be in the early stages of development,Aegon’s Conquestwas reported to be about Aegon I Targaryen’s conquest of Westeros. However, as per 2023 reports, no writers or directors were said to be attached to the show, and neither was any actor hired. But surprisingly, although plans for the prequel remained in flux,fans expressed their desireto witness Henry Cavill in the leading role.
ConsideringHenry Cavill‘s experience in playing fantasy characters inThe Witcherand superhero roles in DC, the actor was being fan-cast as Aegon Targaryen. After previously making headlines for being fan-cast as various Westerosi characters, for his performance and physique, fans called it perfect coincidence when HBO revealed plans forAegon’s Conquest.
Game of ThronesandHouse of the Dragonare both available on Max.
