Superman To A Targaryen? Makers Are Eyeing Henry Cavill To Feature In 'House Of The Dragon 2'!
The show that has been generating a lot of buzz is Game of Thrones prequel House Of The Dragon. While many had vowed to not get attached to the series after a disappointing finale of the cult show, they couldn¡¯t help but get deeply involved in it. The credit definitely goes to the makers for making such an engaging pilot that people couldn¡¯t hold themselves back.
After breaking several viewership records, HOTD has become an obsession across the globe just like Game Of Thrones, with fan clubs being created and conspiracy theories being discussed on a regular basis.
The show traces the journey of House Targaryen and the characters like Rhaenyra, Daemon, King Viserys and Alicent among others have already made a space for themselves in all our hearts.
Makers Reportedly Want Henry Cavill To Play A Very Important Character
Interestingly, the makers are planning ahead now that the show has been renewed for season 2. If reports are to be believed, Henry Cavill also known as Superman is being eyed for a major role in the next season. Additionally, Elizabeth Olsen who portrayed the role of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in Captain America, is also being considered for a major role which will be a callback to an interesting character from Game Of Thrones.
As per a Fandomwire report, Henry Cavill will possibly be offered the role of Aegon I Targaryen or Aegon the Conqueror who played a major role in the civil war/dance of the dragons.
As per author George RR Martin¡¯s book, Aegon is the most important character as he was the founder of Targaryen Dynasty of Westeros and even the First Lord Of The Seven Kingdoms.
As for Elizabeth Olsen, she is being considered to play young Melisandre aka the Red Woman. Not many know that she had even auditioned to play Daenerys Targaryen back in the day.
Both the actors are yet to respond to these rumours. While we await for confirmation, imagine how amazing it would be to see these two talented actors in the world of Westeros!
Out of ten episodes of House of The Dragon season 1, three have already been released. New episodes drop every Monday at 6:30AM on Disney+Hotstar.
