‘Game of Thrones’ Movie ‘Aegon’s Conquest’ Sets Summer 2029 Release Date

Fans of the popular fantasy franchise "Game of Thrones" will soon be able to watch their beloved series come to life on the big screen. Warner Bros. announced that the film, titled "Game of Thrones: Aegon's Conquest," will be released in theaters on June 1, 2029. The project is directed by Owen Harris, who previously directed three episodes of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms."

The screenplay is penned by Beau Willimon, known for his work on "House of Cards," "The Ides of March," and "Mary Queen of Scots." The film will focus on the story of Aegon I Targaryen and the Aegon's Conquest, which saw him take over six of the seven kingdoms of Westeros with the help of his sisters and wives. This story occurs before "Game of Thrones," "House of the Dragon," and "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," making it the earliest work in the live action timeline of the franchise.

With the success of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" and the upcoming conclusion of "House of the Dragon," "Aegon's Conquest" represents another expansion of the "Game of Thrones" franchise, which has already seen two shows since the flagship title ended in 2019.
