Fans discuss who should be cast in Aegon’s Conquest Game of Thrones spinoff

Television has been revolutionized by one of the most-watched series ever, Game of Thrones. HBO’s reluctance to part with it so makes sense. While we’re already awaiting Season 2 of Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, one of the many prequels HBO considered, and now it’s developing one more. An HBO prequel about Aegon I Targaryen’s invasion of Westeros is currently in the works. And fans are excited about its casting.

Game of Thrones’ Aegon Conquest spinoff finds its showrunner

The Aegon’s Conquest spinoff for Game of Thrones is finally moving forward after several complications. A recent report said HBO has officially confirmed that the much anticipated Game of Thrones prequel is now in the works. Additionally, Mattson Tomlin, the writer of The Batman Part II, has been assigned to develop the project. According to an insider, HBO is rewriting the narrative of Aegon the Conqueror in a way that goes “back to basics.”

Fans pitch their own cast for Aegon’s Conquest

The news about the Game of Thrones spinoff about Aegon’s Conquest has been in the air for quite some time. Fans of the franchise have been putting forth their own choices ever since. The most common ones are Henry Cavill for Aegon the Conqueror, Kathryn Winnick in the role of Visenya, and Amber Heard for Rhaenys. Let’s have a look at a few of the fan cast on Twitter so far:
