Richard Madden nominates Citadel co-star Priyanka Chopra to be the next Daenerys

When you look at a story, you read about a character, you picture in your mind who would be perfect for that role. Game of Thrones was famous for its on-point casting. Actress Emilia Clarke was perfect as the Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. However, Clarke has made it pretty clear she is done with the character. Richard Madden, who played Robb Stark in the show, already knows who can replace Clarke as the new Daenerys, if the character ever returns in future spinoffs.
