The more the Game of Thrones universe expands, the more the Targaryens take center stage. In Game of Thrones, only two characters are Targaryens, and we don’t even know about the second one until most of the way through the show. In House of the Dragon, the vast majority of characters are Targaryens on both sides of the Dance with Dragons. Even A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the Game of Thrones spinoff that was supposed to scale down the scope, still has a future Targaryen king as one of its main characters.
Now, this new focus is moving to the silver screen with Aegon’s Conquest, a new historical epic prequel following the reign of the Targaryens all started: with Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters/wives, Visenya and Rhaenys. They were the first Targaryens to travel to Westeros, and as the only ones with dragons, they quickly took control of the entire realm. After a long wait, we finally know when to expect the first Game of Thrones movie — and who will be behind the camera.
